What is an egg whisk
An egg whisk is a cooking utensil to blend ingredients smooth, or to incorporate air into a mixture, in a process known as whisking or whipping. Most egg whisks consist of a long, narrow handle with a series of wire loops joined at the end. The wires are usually metal, but some are plastic for use with nonstick cookware.

Egg whisks are commonly used to whip egg whites into a firm foam to make meringue, or to whip cream into whipped cream. Bundles of twigs, typically apple, have long been used as egg whisk; often the wood used would lend a certain fragrance to the dish. An 18th century Shaker recipe calls to “Cut a handful of peach twigs which are filled with sap at this season of the year. Clip the ends and bruise them and beat the cake batter with them. This will impart a delicate peach flavor to the cake.”
The wire egg whisk was introduced in the 19th century. Egg whisks have differently-shaped loops depending on their intended functions:
1. The most common shape is that of a wide teardrop, termed a balloon whisk. Balloon whisks are best suited to mixing in bowls, as their curved edges conform to a bowl's concave sides.
2. With longer, narrower wire loops, the French whisk has a more cylindrical profile, suiting it to deep, straight-sided pans.
