Holiday List: Gadgets
  1. CUISIPRO WHISKS
    The whisk has been a critical cooking tool for generations, used in everyday meal preparation. New materials like silicone have given the whisk added performance. New unconventional shapes give increased efficiency and function. Each whisk is made of stainless steel with a high heat resistant silicone coating.

    Twist Whisk:
    looks like an egg whisk except each of its 5 silicone wrapped wires are twisted like a strand of licorice candy. The shape creates resistance, which makes the whisk up to 30% more efficient. Result is more air movement, more efficient blending, less strokes required, less work.

    Paddle Whisk:
    does more than a whisk. Its flat silicone wrapped wires scrape the side of the bowl or pan. A cook can whisk, scrape and even fold with one tool, ensuring that all ingredients are fully blended.

    Whisks are all stainless steel; the wires are silicone-wrapped, making them scratch resistant to ceramic, metal and non-stick surfaces. They’re heat resistant to 400’ Celsius and 750’ Fahrenheit.

    10” – 12” sizes
