I require a really good Catering Whisk

[Mark 5]

Yup and I've left it a bit late, as the title states.

It's a prezzie for one of my GSs and I forgot.

The issue is getting a good one, one that won't break, mainly the handles come apart on him.

Be they from Tesco, Asda and the likes, £5-00 to £20-00, they all break on him, I told him I'd give it a go and forgot.

Anyone got any experience on decent catering whisks, up to the task??

Thanks, last one came from Nisbets, so know the company well, cost about £12 and lasted 8 months.

Genuinely just coming apart on him.

He has no aspirations to be a chef, he likes cookery, he likes baking, he likes making cakes, he's just great in the kitchen, his Mum and him are both good cooks, she is hard on the kitchen utensils too.

The issues as I see it is the wire loops just come out of their handles.

The last one his Dad bought him, less then 3 months, the handle snapped, just sheared off.

Sounds like an alternative technique of usage might be needed to go with any replacement whisk?

Maybe a bigger bowl to give his arm more room to work?

Get yourself down the local agricultural suppliers (got a Mole Valley near?)

Calf milk whisk is what you want.

Thankyou.

Not near me but only 2-3 miles from one of my sons.

Checked availability, none in stock but that's ok.

Why one of those over any other?

because farmers.
If something that costs about a tenner breaks they take it back.
If the store doesn't just hand out a new one immediately they buy the £2k/month animal feed somewhere else.

Hence agricultural places don't stock much that can be used in the domestic environment but they don't stock flimsy crap when they do.

I've also had plenty of good value-for-money kit from Nisbits as recommended above but Nisbits main trading point is on price. Some of the unbranded/value branded stuff seems to be from whatever supplier they are using at the time. They have always been good with warranty and returns.

But if you have an agricultural suppliers local you can go in and have a look at the quality. If you smack it against a shelf and it falls apart the manager will probably remove the whole lot from display rather than moan at you!

Can't really see that making light and fluffy cream.
The main point of a wisk with all the wires is to entrain air.

Can see that mixing pancake batter though.

Get him a proper man-sized, Yorkie-munching proper whisk...
