Editorial Review:

Whisk in a bowl or in a pan with this heat-resistant whisk. It won't scratch surfaces, and it won't melt in the pan.
Whip egg whites and cream, blend and smooth sauces, whisk zabaglione, and perform myriad other kitchen tasks with this 12-inch balloon whisk. Calphalon's nonstick nylon kitchen tools are designed for safe use on all nonstick surfaces. A hole in the handle facilitates hanging on a peg or hook. Hand wash with mild detergent. --Fred Brack

Whisk for those non-stick pots and pans!:

best whisk in the world for those non-stick and hard-anodized pots and pans. Works great

Can't handle the heat:

Before I go on, let me say I have lots of Calphalon products and only have had a disappointment in this utensil and the Pasta fork. Same reason on both, they are wimpy & overheat, not as in getting to hot to handle, but they become to weak to use. They do not hold up well under heat. The whisk is also not very sturdy where it need to be, at the bottom of the handle so you have support and a better grasp to beat your eggs, or whatever. I went out and bought a different one.

Too flimsy to be of help:

It is a great concept but the nylon is not rigid enough to be of much help in the kitchen. In order to be the least bit effective I find it necessary to hold it below the handle at the small end of the balloon. Yes, that means my hand is in whatever I am trying to mix! Not a tool worth having. This and its flat whisk mate are the only Calphalon disappointments that I have had.

Just Fine:

I purchased this item several months ago to use with my T-Fal cookware.I found it very useful and am still quite satisfied with it.My nonstick cookware is not the type you can use metal utensils on,so that is why I bought this whisk.I use it mainly to stir soups and gravies with.The whisk is not stiff enough to easily whip egg whites ,or stuff like that,and it was slightly overpriced I thought,after I got it.That is the only reasons I gave it a four star rating instead of a five star rating
