Whipper or Whisk beater
The whipper is a classic kitchen helper equipped with a wire dasher arranged in an elongated, springy spiral form. This is used to beat eggs to add volume to them quickly and effectively. It is also used to smoothen sauces and make them lump free by its whisking action.
Another form of the whipper has multiple wire dashers attached to a thick rubber or metal handle forming a balloon shape and is called the balloon whisk.
The wire dashers are made of stainless steel, aluminium, or plastic. The handle is made of stainless steel, aluminium or silicone for a firm grip.
A whipper needs the right amount and type of wrist action in order to work effectively and neatly. The handle of the whipper is usually held as one would hold a pencil, and the wrist is turned in a circular motion dragging the dashers on the inside bottom of the bowl containing the food mixture to be whipped. It is moved in such a way that the dashers come out of the mixture briefly and then are plunged back into the mixture repeatedly. Simple and quick, the whipper or the whisk beater is a preferred kitchen helper while dealing with eggs or sauces.
