Know before you buy
A flat whisk is designed to maintain constant contact with the bottom of your pan. This makes it significantly more effective at deglazing, scraping up browned bits, and preventing ingredients from scorching or clumping.
Because this whisk is constructed entirely from stainless steel, it can scratch non-stick coatings. It is best reserved for stainless steel, enameled, or cast iron cookware.
No, this whisk is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water to preserve the integrity of the stainless steel wires.
The 10-inch length is optimized for standard saucepans and skillets. While it works well for most stovetop tasks, it may be too short for very deep stockpots or large Dutch ovens.
Yes, the flat design allows you to work the whisk across the entire surface area of the pan bottom, which is the most effective way to incorporate flour or thickeners and break up stubborn lumps.
