Now Take Your Bowl, Put Over Your Head, and Turn Upside Down, Dear
Do you like meringues or sponge-cakes? Sure you do.
Most of us love them.
But did you ever have an occasion to make them yourself? Actually, it doesn't matter.
To prepare them and many other desserts you need some whipped egg whites.
"That's easy" you may say, "all I do is take the whites and put them into my kitchen robot".
Well that's true, but since i have my point in this post, I'm going to make it more difficult.
Imagine you don't have your robot, it's broken or there's no electricity.
What would you do? You'll grab a Whisk and do all the job an old-school way.
A Whisk is simply a handle with a number of wires sticking out of it.
These wires are aimed to help you with whipping your egg whites.
The shapes they have are numerous.
Most popular one is a Baloon Whisk which has a baloon-shaped wires.
Sometimes having additional wire-balls inside, to make the accessory more effective.
There are also ones that look similar to a brush, so called ball whisks (called such, due to the baloon finished wires), spiral, or any other fancy shape the designer thought of.
Whisks are usually made of steel.
From some time now, the plastic and silicone ones gain popularity, but the steels still seems to rule the market.
To use a Whisk, you grab its handle with your hand, put the Whisk in the bowl or any other container you have, and make an elliptical, rapid moves with the end of the Whisk.
Try using only your wrist to produce Whisk's elliptical movement.
Moving the whole hand can be painful after some time.
After you're done, there's an universal way to check, whether your whites are well whipped.
Take the bowl with them.
Hold it over your head.
And...
turn it upside down.
If the whites stick to the bowl instead of landing on your head, you've done well.
In other case...
you'll see for yourself.
Remember that Whisks are not only useful in terms of egg whites, even though I've suggested that at the beginning.
Feel free to use them with whipping cream for your dessert, thorough mixing of any ingredients, speeding up dissolving, etc.
If you'd like to try Whisking for yourself, or buy someone such an old-school utensil as a gift, do it.
I'm sure you, or your friends will love it.
If' you've already tried Whisking, share your experiences by leaving a comment.
