Know before you buy
Yes. For optimal performance and to ensure the bristles are tough and resilient, you should immerse the whisk in boiling water for a few minutes before its first use.
The whisk is designed with a medium-duty abrasiveness level and is specifically intended for stainless steel surfaces. We recommend testing it on a small, inconspicuous area of your non-stick cookware first to ensure it does not cause scratching.
Because it is crafted from natural cereal root, the entire whisk is fully compostable. You can simply place it in your compost bin once it has reached the end of its functional life.
The double-winding construction provides extra firmness to the cereal root bristles. This makes the whisk particularly effective at scrubbing away stubborn food residue from pots and pans.
To keep the whisk in good condition, rinse it thoroughly after each use and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Keeping it dry between uses will help extend the lifespan of the natural materials.
