Don't buy a kitchen utensil you have to wash by hand until you ve checked to see if there's a comparable dishwasher-safe item from another company. Using the dishwasher saves time and helps assure that kitchen items are thoroughly and safely cleaned. Avoid cross-contamination when cutting different types of foods for the same meal by owning and using several cutting boards. With more than one cutting board you avoid spending extra time washing a board before cutting the next item. Match the size and shape of your whisk to the job to be done.
Some whisks are long and narrow, others are more like big balloons.
Whisks that are thin and flexible are good for whipping air into batters, while thick, rigid whisks are useful for thick mixtures. For ease in cleaning, choose whisks that are dishwasher safe, and have the area sealed where the wires go into the handle. They may be a bit more expensive, but usually last longer and cost less over time. Many of them also come with plastic lids, so you can also use them for storage. Because of their multi-task abilities, there are fewer dishes to clean when the meal s ready to eat.
