Whisk

Home bakers should not worry about owning the many varied types of whisks on the market. We use a very basic wire whisk with a sturdy wooden handle (medium to large will do) for every recipe that calls for a whisk in this book. Whisks are great tools for combining dry ingredients (whisking flour, baking soda, and salt together, for instance), but do not use your whisk as an everyday stirring device (a silicone spatula works better), as you can whisk too much air into your batters accidentally.
