I'm not one to get excited about kitchen products, but this has been one of my favorites in the kitchen! Unlike many other whisks I've used, the wires are very sturdy and they haven't bent at all over the time I've used it. The handle is very well constructed and hasn't let any water in despite numerous dishwasher washings. There is also an ingenious area of clear resin around the base of the wires where they join the handle to ensure that the handle is water tight and that water does not get trapped there or rust (see picture). The stainless steel wires are also spaced out at the far end of the whisk. At first I thought this looked a little odd, but it has actually proved very good design as the wires do not get tangled in each other at all and the spacing helps whisk liquids better. I make a lot of baked goods and this has been invaluable to preparing eggs and adding air into my batters. Definitely recommend this high quality, durable whisk!
Whisk is actually really nice. Never had a problem with rust, and always just washed in the dishwasher. It comes in two parts. Not sure if it is meant to, but the handle comes apart from the main section. We always took it apart to clean and once dry put it back together.
The reason this whisk is better than the others is because no food can get at the bottom where the handle and whisk part meet. It is filled with some type of epoxy or equivalent and works great.

Only downside with this whisk is the two piece part. The top section has a thick plastic piece that inserts into the bottom and worked great for years, but eventually the plastic piece broke recently.

I will be buying another one of these because there is not one I found that is better. If they could make this a one piece design that would be great.
These are the best whisks to own. I had several different ones from various brands (including Martha Stewart brand) and after gong through the dishwasher they would collect water in the handle... coming in from where the whisk meets the handle. So the next time using the whisk (even days later), old water would drip down the whisk into the food you were making. This is the only whisk I have found that doesn't have that problem. I ended up replacing all my other whisks with these ones.
What an amazing whisk. My old whisk's handle broke so I ended up buying this one and immediately, I can feel the difference in quality vs my old whisk. This wires on this thing is made of stainless steel and feels super sturdy. My old, cheap whisk had wires tangling all up on each other like two love struck teenagers unlike this whisk. In addition, the grip is comfortable to hold and prevents slippage while you whisk. I've been using it to beat eggs, flours, etc. without a problem at all. Highly recommended! Thanks OXO. xoxoxo

This high quality OXO 11-inch Whisk has manual mixing easy, effortless, efficient on any size liquid or solid batter. Beware, this whisk doesn't replace a hand mixer but come nearly as close replacing one- E.G. If you're mixing a solid batter that requires a little water or liquid, like Fudge brownies or Cream Cheese, the whisk will be clogged, which require you to manually scrub the batter stuck between the whisk, repeat the process until its finely whipped or aerated and doesn't get clogged up in your whisk. Despite that small problem of its not replacing a hand blender manually, I'd say this the best whisk I've owned in my life... I mean the fair price, quality, durable and lovely performance this whisk is well worth its price of ten dollars.

Brand Story

I had 2 whisks. One broke in half, the other keeps falling out of the bowl/pot. I was fed up and purchased this whisk. This is a quality whisk. Its evenly balanced, has a good grip, and has a good weight. I no longer have to deal with my whisk constantly falking over. It's easy to wash too.
I had a whisk that looked very much like this one for years. I loved it. It was the perfect size, easy to hold, did a great job, and was my go to whisk even though I have 3 others. Well it broke... the handle broke off. I contemplated trying to glue it back on but decided to look for another. Normally this isn’t something I’d buy online because I really wanted to see and feel one before buying. I took a chance on this one after looking at a lot of them. I have other OXO products that I like so I threw caution to the wind and ordered it. I am delighted to say it’s the perfect replacement. I’m very satisfied and would recommend.
Did my research from The Sweet Home, America's Test Kitchen, and decided that this was the best universal whisk for just about anything that you would need in your kitchen before getting out the beaters. Of course OXO is the top line when it comes to utensils in the kitchen. And I love the way that this whisk is perfect to get down into a deep KitchenAid mixing bowl or easy enough to use on a small skillet when you are making a reduction sauce. Love how there is a whisk inside a whisk that allows for perfect distribution of ingredients. Nice handle, and dishwasher safe.
Nice grip on handle and very good quality product. I particularly like the fact the whisk wires are finished with some kind of resin where they meet the handle. This stops water getting in and loosening the handle. (A problem I’ve had with cheaper ones in the past).
I recently moved out my family house and I've just started buying all the things I need for my kitchen, the other day I was watching a G. Ramsay video on the internet and I've noticed he was using this whisk, as I wanted to replicate his dish I was tempted to get a somewhat cheaper one, As the price was reasonable and it looked particularly well-made I've decided to go for this one and I haven't regret.
For one thing, you don't want any clumping in a sauce or custard and things do tend to get clumpy if you can't get into the inner edge of a saucepan. With a bit of pressure, you can whisk into every inch of a saucepan. This is not always possible with a plastic whisk which is definitely not as flexible.
The rubber handle on this whisk is very well made and makes it easy to keep a firm grip all the times even with wet hands/
The 10 stainless steel wires are very sturdy because they are sealed into the base of the handle with a clear resin material preventing food from being trapped and also making it easy to clean.
The medium size in my opinion makes it versatile for eggs, cream and everything else you'll ever need a whisk for.
You can wash it in the dishwasher without fear!
I absolutely suggest this product
