The special types of cage whisk and whisk attachment
Cage whisk:
This unusual whisk looks like a balloon whisk which has been stuffed with a small ball-shaped wire “cage” consisting of more looped wires. Inside of the cage is a ball bearing for weight. The added muscle of that inner “cage” allows for thorough blending of thick mixtures, ensuring a smooth, silky texture.
Suggested uses: This whisk is especially popular for whipping cream, and with good reason: whipped cream was never so luxuriant as when whipped with a cage whisk.
Whisk attachment:
There is also a whisk attachment for stand mixers. This attachment most closely resembles a balloon whisk in its shape, and can be attached to the head of a stand mixer and then used for any of the purposes called for with whisking.
Suggested uses: The kind of egg whisk is especially helpful when vigorous whisking is required, such as whipping egg whites for meringues or heavy cream for whipped cream. Not suggested for batter or dough, as they can warp the wires.
