Best® 10-Inch Wood Handle French Whip

Does this sturdy French whip from Best live up to its name? Our rigorous testing says yes: Its narrow profile, staggered tines, just-right size and professional-quality build make it among the best we’ve used. Unlike broad, balloon-style whisks, a French whisk has straight sides and a narrower tip that fits into small bowls and jars; this one also has a good bit of space between its tines to encourage aeration and emulsion with fewer strokes. (Unlike whisks with tines stacked on top of each other, you won’t have to worry about food getting stuck.) At 10 inches long, it’s not too small to be useful, but not too big to be a pain. The size gives you enough leverage to quickly whip fresh cream for a last-minute dessert topping and enough maneuverability to whisk up a small batch of vinaigrette right in the jar. With its smooth, weighty wooden handle, this whisk is an absolute pleasure to use.
