Product Information

Some whisks can do even more, like our Dreamfarm Flisk 3-in-1 Whisk. With a twist of the handle, it can switch between a balloon whisk, a sauce whisk for liquids and a flat whisk for deglazing. See, we told you there’s more to whisks than meets the eye… Mini whisks All of our whisks, no matter their size or features, are made from high-quality, lightweight material making them both reliable and easy to wield. Most are dishwasher safe too, to make sure clean-up is as simple as possible.

dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in 100ml hot water, then drained and finely chopped – reserve 2 tbsp of the soaking liquidOther – You will also need garlic, onions, salt, ground pepper, and fresh parsley. Fresh garlic adds a unique taste, but you can also replace it with garlic powder. Whisks are a favorite kitchen tool. What’s more satisfying than swiftly whisking a bowl of eggs for scrambling, beating mayonnaise until it emulsifies or whipping cream? But although whisks are all pretty similar—curved wires affixed to a handle—there are actually different types of whisks, each with its own specific design and uses. A slightly smaller silicone model that performs nearly as well as the top-rated stainless steel version Cut the aubergines in half widthways, then cut each half into 7cm x 2cm batons. Put these in a large bowl with a teaspoon of salt, then transfer to a steaming basket (or a colander that will sit over a large saucepan) and set aside.

If you make this simple white sauce recipe let me know in the comments below. I'd love to know how you flavoured it. Place the individual dishes on an oven tray to move the dishes in and out of the oven. This saves spillages and burnt fingers as I find it difficult to take small dishes out of the oven. Rayu is a Japanese chilli oil, and this version features cashew nuts and shichimi togarashi, a Japanese chilli blend made up of seven essential spices and seasonings – look for it on the world food aisle of large supermarkets. Make double the amount of rayu, if you like: it will keep in a sterilised jar in the fridge for up to 10 days, and is a lovely condiment to have to hand for spooning over crisp fried eggs or stirred through greens.Meanwhile, make the butter syrup. Put the sugar, star anise, salt and 100ml cold water in a small saucepan on a medium-high heat and cook for seven to 10 minutes, until it’s bubbling furiously and reduced by half. Stir in the butter, then take off the heat. Optional: Cheese, if you want to turn the basic white sauce into a Mornay sauce. I like using a combination of sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheese but gruyere, gouda, etc will all work. Fill a large saucepan or steamer with enough water to come 4cm up the sides, then bring it to a boil. Place the aubergine basket (or colander) on top of the pan of boiling water, cover to prevent the steam escaping, then turn down the heat to medium and leave to steam for 20 minutes, or until the aubergines are very soft but still hold their shape. Lift the basket (or colander) off the pan, transfer to the sink, uncover and leave to drain for five minutes. Set the basket (or colander) over a large bowl and leave to cool to room temperature. Flat: Also known as a "roux whisk" - a name that defines its purpose. These are designed for sliding around the edges of a saucepan while incorporating flour into liquid to make a roux or gravy.

Seasoning is optional in this recipe and depends on how you are going to use it. I recommend adding some seasoning if you aren't planning to add any other ingredients to the sauce (such as spices or herbs). Versatility

Analysis and Test Results

Put the drained, chopped shiitake and a tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan on a medium-high heat, and cook for six or seven minutes, until dark and almost completely crisp. Off the heat, stir in a half-teaspoon of soy sauce, then leave to cool. Use a flat whisk for: Whisking sauces, like roux or gravy. It’s also good for custards and dishes that require frequent stirring, like lemon curd. This creamy spinach mac and cheese is a good example of how other ingredients can affect the appearance of this white pasta sauce. You guessed it, it's bright green! Spiral: Also known as a "coil," "spring," or "galaxy" whisk, these are great for mixing small batches, like when blending in a cup; the flexible springs are also handy for breaking up dry ingredients in a batter or sauce. Even though this is a specialty tool primarily used for making sauces, gravies, and roux, the OXO Good Grips Flat Wire Whisk is so well designed that it has earned its place as an essential in our kitchens. Its flat shape works comfortably around the edges of pans, and provides the same style of non-slip grip as our top contender. The stainless steel tines are organized so that the outside one is stiff and easily able to break up clumps; the inside tines are softer and flexible, allowing for more delicate mixing, resulting in a silky smooth consistency.
