The different types of ball whisk and coil whisk
There are no loops on this unique whisk, which looks more like a retro lighting fixture than a kitchen tool. Instead, it consists of a series of individual wires which starburst out from a handle and each have a ball bearing on the end. The lack of loops makes it easier to clean, and proponents of this type of whisk claim it allows for quicker and better aeration of the substance being whisked.
Suggested uses: The speed with which the ball whisk aerates makes it a favored choice for whipping egg whites, making for perfect meringues.
This type of whisk is characterized by its one single wire which spirals into a round shape. The overall shape is like that of a balloon whisk, but it is one single wire rather than a series of wires looping. Unlike other whisks, which are stirred around the bowl to aerate liquids, this type remains stationary in the bowl, and is pumped up and down. Not to confuse things, but sometimes this is also called a spiral whisk, too.
Suggested uses: Incorporating liquid ingredients, especially in a deep vessel; great for lifting sauces or thick mixtures from the bottom of a pan.
