We tested seven balloon whisks to find the best one for efficient, all-purpose mixing, and the GIR Whisk won by a landslide. The 8-inch Mini Whisk version delivers the same results in a more compact form. Use it to combine small amounts of dry ingredients, stir vinaigrettes or beat a single egg. The handle is made from platinum-cured, pharmaceutical-grade silicone, which is even safer than food-grade silicone and more resistant to wear-and-tear. It’s solid enough to grip comfortably, while staying light enough to allow maximum vibration (without wearing out your wrist). Like all GIR products, the Mini Whisk is stain-, odor-, and microbe-resistant, plus dishwasher-safe. Available in colors Grey and Dark Green.
