HAND WHISK HOW TO

Follow these four simple steps or watch our video, How to Separate Egg Whites and Whisk. Whether you’re a newbie to the baking game, or a frequent home baker, the proper whisking technique may be the secret power you’ve yet to harness. Shear force is when one layer of the liquid moves toward another layer, creating air channels for the ingredients to become fully mixed.

Rather, side-to-side whisking creates the best shear force. It features a fan that blows hot air (like a hairdryer) over the beaters so you can start mixing with cold butter, which sounds kind of helpful, but the mixer’s overall performance was lacking (it even struggled to whip cream).Most bakers believe whisking is solely about getting the right circular motion, but is that really the most efficient way? Science says this motion doesn’t allows for proper aeration.

Hamilton Beach Professional 5-Speed Electric Hand Mixer: This was another slow hand mixer, taking three-and-a-half minutes to whip cream into stiff peaks.Braun MultiMix 5 Hand Mixer: This mixer had the same uncomfortable design as the 9-speed version, and took over three minutes to get stiff peaks for whipped cream.It was also quite noisy and failed to scrape the sides of the bowl. Black and Decker Helix: This mixer tended to fling and splatter ingredients.Braun Multi Mix 9 Speed: This mixer was uncomfortable to hold, and squealed noisily when in use.Plus, it was hard to fit all the parts in the storage case. It was comfortable to use, but a bit slow with whipping cream.

Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9 Speed: This one was almost a winner.Kitchenaid 5-Speed: This machine struggled throughout most of the tests and even started making weird sounds when I tried to make Swiss meringue.The lowest speed wasn't all that low, making it a splatter hazard with the cream. Hamilton Beach Soft Scrape: This mixer came in last place in the whipped cream test.Noise level: Motors can be noisy or whiny (or even shriek-y).Comfort: You'll want a machine that's comfortable to grip and hold for long periods of time.However, higher wattage does not necessarily mean the mixer is more powerful or of better quality, as the machine's motor might not use that power efficiently. Wattage: Wattage is a measurement of power.Storage: Some of the mixers had cases or pouches for easier storage, which we liked.While some of them are useful, we do not recommend using the dough whisk attachment with any mixer.

Attachments: Some mixers included whisks, frothers, dough hooks, and other attachments for added versatility.

Some machines also have Turbo mode, which can give you a boost of speed at the touch of a button to whip chunkier or thicker ingredients. More speeds make the transition from lowest to highest smoother.

Number of speeds: It’s often wise to start at a slow speed, then ramp up to a high speed to reduce the chance of splatters.
