I require a really good Catering Whisk

[JEZGUZ]

It sounds like his whisking technique needs improving and or the choice of whisk needs looking at. You are not going to use the same whisk for making a couple of portions of Hollandaise sauce and a couple of pints of batter mix for frying Fish just as you would not expect to do the same job with a 4oz hammer and a 40oz one. Build up a selection, same as having multiple files or hammers. As for technique, you should not be hitting the bowl with the whisk and if you do it should be sliding across the surface of the bowl, not digging in.

you would have thought that would do the job. This has reminded me. On a scout camp in 1988. We made scrambled eggs for 120 people, we used a canoe paddle to do the stirring! There were a lot of eggs.

I'm absolutely dying here! You know how sometimes you glance at something quicky and read it entirely wrong?

Well I just glanced at the title of this thread and thought it said "I require a really good Christmas W*nk"! I think I need help!

Your probably going to struggle finding someone to help with that one.

Again, I'd recommend a local agricultural suppliers.
Find the 'lambing' section and get yourself a bottle of "super-lube" gel.

To be honest, I think there's a bit of a theme going on here - definitely something wrong with the way my mind works.

I came out of the office one day, and directly over the road there was a Benji's (remember them? The sandwich place?) and there was a big slogan on the window that said "Less Bread". I read it as "Large Breasts"! I think I have some sort of dirty minded fixation going on!

That, or maybe you just need glasses.....

When I worked a a restaurant, they did Sunday Morning brunch with (2) cooks cracking eggs into a large floor mixer.
Had flat pallets of the things, and the 2 started a competition.
I was surprised that even with the mixer turning slowly, with the wisk on it wasn't a few minutes they had very nicely scrambled eggs.
cooked them in a large steam tray.

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!

Nice to see consumer power in action.

As soon as one is in stock I will buy your suggestion, a Calf milk whisk, see how he gets on with it.

I think the lad has just been unlucky and the whisks he has had, just not great quality, branded or unbranded..

Meanwhile as I needed one fast, I bought a set of 3 of various sizes, Amazon but gets me out of trouble and GS a happy whisker if only for a short while.

Thanks to everyone else who contributed to the thread.
