A whisk is the proper tool to use to whip egg whites into foam, whip cream into whipped cream, emulsify hard to combine liquids, and smooth a gravy just to name a few things a whisk can do! To get the most potential out of a hand whisk, here are a few guidelines: ? Hold the handle gently between your forefinger and thumb and allow your wrist to move slightly, right along with the whisk. ? Always start with a clean and dry bowl, preferably glass or ceramic. ? For beating egg whites: Hold the bowl at an angle to pool all the liquids into just one side of the bowl. Move the whisk quickly in small circles while lifting slightly whenever reaching the top of the circle. This method is best for beating egg whites as they will stiffen quicker than the following whisking method. ? For whisking all other ingredients: When working with all other ingredients, such as trying to emulsify oil and vinegar together in order to produce a vinaigrette, the best way to move the whisk is in a side to side motion. The force of pushing the ingredients in opposite directions against each other forces them to bond together better and thus remain together longer.
