Wire Whisk Tips
• A whisk is designed to whip liquids,
such as egg whites and cream. Do
not use the whisk for mixing thick
mixtures such as dough, fudge, or
mashed potatoes
• Your mixer is designed to whisk a
minimum of 2 large egg whites or 1
cup of cream. Mixer performance is
enhanced as the tip of the whisk is
immersed into the liquid. If smaller
quantities are needed, a hand mixer
is recommended.

bowl. Attach bowl and wire whisk. To
