The Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Spiral Whisk is a flat sauce whisk for professional and home cooks who make milk-based sauces that scorch on the bottom of the pan. Its hinged spiral head lies against the pan and sweeps the base as you stir, so béchamel and pastry cream cook evenly and do not stick. Matfer developed it with feedback from professional chefs.
Our chef uses this whisk and finds it performs extremely well. The head folds flat, which makes it a good choice for chefs who bring their own tools to work: it fits in a knife roll alongside their knives.
The coil lifts off the head for cleaning. The insulated Exoglass handle has a flared end that keeps the whisk from sliding into a deep pot. The whisk is NSF certified, dishwasher safe and covered by Matfer Bourgeat USA’s limited lifetime warranty.
Spiral Whisk or Piano Whisk
Use the spiral whisk for stirring on the stove. For whipping cream or beating egg whites, a wire whisk such as the Matfer Bourgeat 10-inch Piano Wire Exoglass Whip is the better tool.
