Kitchen Whips, French Whips, Piano Whips and Whisks

For all your whisking needs, we feature piano whips, French whips, and specialty items.

We carry a number of tried and true manufacturers such as chef favorite, French-made Mater Bourgeat, which touts stainless spring steel wires molded into an Exoglass handle.

Piano whips (also known as whisks) are similar to balloon whisks as they have fine wires that are thinner than those found on French whips, and fewer of them. Piano whips are used to whisk and aerate thinner concoctions, such as a delicate, sweet meringue for lemon meringue pie.

French whips have a sleek silhouette, thicker wires, and are used to whisk heavier ingredients such as pancake batter or to emulsify dressing and sauce such as a rouille or garlic aioli.

Additionally, we feature some specialty whisks such as a spiral design, ideal for precision when making complex custards such as a crème pâtissière or when whisking sauce such as a silky béchamel sauce.

To whip up some serious mashed potatoes, try using a rigid whisk that can easy handle thick ingredients. And if you are looking for an extra-large tool, take a gander at the heavy-duty, stainless-steel giant 48” kitchen whisk by Matfer Bourgeat.
