Whisk
Beat with a whisk to combine, smooth, aerate, or emulsify.
What It Does
Whisking uses quick strokes to bring ingredients together. Use a bowl with room, steady the bowl, and change speed depending on whether you need gentle mixing, smoothness, or air.
Fast mixing
Whisking can combine, smooth, or add air.
A whisk breaks up small lumps and moves liquid through itself quickly. The shape works best when the bowl gives the whisk room to move.

What to watch
Match speed to the goal.
Whisk gently for delicate mixtures and faster when you need air or a stronger emulsion. Scrape the sides so dry pockets do not remain.
