Time to look around your house, get inspired by everyday objects, and make costumes! Today, I’ve chosen to focus on whisks – as in the kind you use to make scrambled eggs. The various shapes of whisks can be used in Doctor Who costumes and work perfectly for accessories. However, I recommend only grabbing a whisk for cosplay if you have back-ups in your kitchen. If you have those duplicates, get them cleaned up and consider using it for these purposes:
Dalek weapon – Daleks have two attachments: one looks like a plunger, and the other resembles a whisk. Whether you’re creating a full Dalek costume or just a dress interpretation, grabbing a whisk to add onto the costume is easy. In fact, if you only carried the kitchen tool and a plunger, any Whovian would recognize the costume immediately – great last minute cosplay solution. A French whisk looks best, but a balloon whisk would work in a pinch.
Tiara – The curling shapes and spirals could fit right into the centerpiece of a tiara. A spiral whisk is especially suited to the task. Use a sturdy wire cutter or power tool to cut off the handle and stretch and paint the piece as necessary. You can use E-6000 or thinner wire to attach the new component to an existing tiara.
Baking-themed costume – The obvious choice for a whisk is a baking-related costume. You could dress as Julia Child, the Swedish chef from The Muppet Show, or an appliance. Have you seen anyone else dress like a KitchenAid mixer? You could even be a cake mix. Get creative.
Staff – Cosplaying as a wizard or other character that uses a staff? Consider using a coil or ball whisk to top it. The handles could be inserted into the top of an existing staff or otherwise built in. You can paint a ball whisk and even add LEDs or EL wire to the structure to make it look magical. Also, the whisk can serve as a base to add clay or other embellishments.
Souffle girl – Yes, another Doctor Who costume! When Clara Oswald first appears, she’s attempting to make a perfect souffle. She has a snazzy red dress, and her utility belt features a whisk. Her costume is simple enough that you could probably pull it out of your closet in no time.

Whisks are one of those must-have tools you need in your kitchen, regardless of your level of cooking prowess. When you think of whisks, you may think about whipping up a batch of scrambled eggs or omelettes . But whisks come in many different shapes and sizes, and they’re useful for so many other things.

One that comes often into most people’s minds is the French whisk, which is great for whipping up thicker batters and sauces or making meringues by hand. More common in home kitchens are the balloon (or piano) whisks, which work better for mixing broths, soups , and lighter sauces.

Then, there are flat whisks, dough whisks (Danish or otherwise), ball whisks, spiral whisks, and so on. But which to choose? I did the research to come up with a list of the best whisks out there, and then I put them to the test in my kitchen, to help you make your way through the tangle of options. I tested how well each whisk performed mixing batter and sauces—and, if it was a specialty whisk, how well it performed its designated purpose. I also took note of how comfortable each was to use and how easy each was to clean.

After all of this evaluating, it was OXO's Good Grips 11-Inch Balloon Whisk that reigned supreme.

Without further ado, here is my list of the best whisks for different kitchen tasks. Let’s get ready to whip, whip it good!

What We Love: Comfortable and nonslip grip, sturdy wires, watertight design

When you think of whisks, the classic balloon whisk is the one that comes to mind. OXO makes a comfortable one with a soft, non-slip handle. Indeed, it felt comfortable in my hands, even while I was performing more rigorous whipping tasks.

Although the whisk comes in different lengths, the 11-inch is the most versatile size for most whisking needs. You can scramble eggs, whip up some cream , or stir some batter—even with wet hands, since the handle doesn’t slip while you work. The wide spacing between the wires not only helps with making these tasks easier but also ensures that the wires don’t get tangled, according to some reviewers.

OXO’s watertight, dishwasher-safe design makes the whisk easy to clean up, too. Plus, it comes in a 9-inch size for smaller jobs. The only thing I would change after using this extensively during testing is the handle: I'd like it to be just a little bit longer for better leverage, and for the handle to be silicone instead of plastic.

Overall, I'd say this is the best all-around whisk of the ones I tested—it's a good tool to have around and could be used for almost anything.

Material: Polished stainless steel whisk, plastic handle | Dimensions (LxWxH): 11 x 3 x 1 inches | Weight: 0.2 pounds | Dishwasher-Safe? Yes

What We Love: Sturdy, good for deglazing, lightweight

What We Don’t Love: Water can collect in the handle, slippery handle

A flat whisk by any other name can still be used to make sauces or roux —or anything that requires scraping the tasty bits that cling to the bottom of a pan. Tovolo’s sauce whisk is great for just that. It has a stainless steel handle that provides you with a pretty good grip for deglazing your pan to make a pan sauce . The only thing I would change is to make the handle less slippery and a little bit longer. But overall, it's a nice, lightweight whisk that didn't tire out my hand.

In my testing, I found the flat wires sturdy and strong enough to get to the bottom of the pot, but flexible enough for mixing the ingredients and working out any lumps—perfect for gravy or cream-based sauces . Plus, the design helps scrape to the edges of a pan effortlessly.

I also found the whisk easy to clean since it’s dishwasher-safe. Just be sure to dry the whisk by hanging it upside down to make sure all the water drips out of the handle.

Material: Stainless steel | Dimensions (LxWxH): 10 x 1.5 x 2.75 inches | Weight: 0.2 pounds | Dishwasher-Safe? Yes

What We Love: Sturdy and thin wires, waterproof barrel handle, hanging loop

What We Don’t Love: Somewhat pricey, handle is a bit short

Kuhn Rikon’s wire whisk has all the qualities you’re looking for in a French whip. I like its narrow, springy wires that are great for whipping in air, but they're also strong and stiff enough for making emulsions by hand. It’s narrow and thin enough to get into the tightest of spaces, but long enough to whip up cream in a jiffy. The weight and balance feel comfortable in your hands, but it’s short enough to make it easy to store. That said, after testing, I'd like the handle to be a little bit longer.

It’s also dishwasher-safe, waterproof, and has a little loop on the end for hanging. This whisk will fit neatly in your organized kitchen. I'd recommend this to those who are looking for a good French whisk for making emulsions and the like.

Material: Stainless steel | Dimensions (LxWxH): 12 x 2 x 2 inches | Weight: 0.25 pounds | Dishwasher-Safe? Yes

What We Love: Comfortable stainless steel construction, long wires

What We Don’t Love: Handle and whisk are a bit short, water can collect in handle

The PomeloHome stainless steel ball whisk is a well-balanced whisk, useful for making thick sauces, gravies , or even whipped milk for your latté . The stainless steel balls are perfectly weighted and can reach even the hardest corners of your pot. Because of the stiffness and heaviness, this whisk is better for scrambling eggs efficiently or mixing thicker ingredients like thick sauces or waffle batter , rather than for ingredients that require aerating.

The all-steel construction makes this whisk dishwasher-safe, and it comes in both 10- and 12-inch sizes. The handles are a bit short on both models, and I found that water tended to collect in the handle, but their ergonomic design and well-balanced weight make them comfortable to hold.

Material: Stainless steel | Dimensions (LxWxH): 10.6 x 1.2 x 1 inches | Weight: 4.8 ounces | Dishwasher-Safe? Yes

What We Love: Heat-resistant to 600 degrees Fahrenheit; comfortable grip; safe for nonstick, ceramic, and metal cookware

What We Don’t Love: Silicone can wear out after repeated use, handle is not heat-proof

Like its stainless steel sibling, the OXO Good Grips silicone balloon whisk is a real winner when it comes to comfort and strength. When using nonstick cookware, silicone whisks are essential. And OXO’s comfortable grip makes it easy to handle. The whisk is heat-resistant up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and works with all kinds of surfaces. Because the whisk is made of silicone, it’s also quieter to use on metal or glass surfaces.

The silicone whisk can take a little bit of getting used to, since its thicker wire can make whisking feel different than many are perhaps accustomed to. But once you get the hang of it, you’ll find that the wires’ flexibility means less chance of unmixed batter sticking to the sides of your mixing bowl.

I'd recommend this whisk to those who are looking to use a whisk on nonstick coo
