With a simple twist of the handle, this clever design switches between two different types of whisk. In its closed or flat position, it's ideal for stirring sauces or making gravy as its heat-resistant, silicone- coated stainless-steel wires are perfect for scraping and combining ingredients together. In its open position, it becomes a conventional balloon whisk that's perfect for whipping cream or beating egg whites into peaks. Suitable for non-stick cookware, it also folds flat for compact storage. Silicone wires heat-resistant up to 200'C/392'F. Dishwasher safe.
