ABOVE: 11-inch stainless steel Oxo balloon whisk. $6.99 at Marshall’s.

I rarely get this excited about something like a balloon whisk – OK, actually I am a total kitchen gadget geek –but the Oxo 11″ balloon whisk I just picked up is totally blogworthy.
After leaving a whisk in New Hampshire, I was looking for a decent replacement and the Oxo solves a couple of problems, chiefly the annoying heavy handles that tend to tip the whisk out of a bowl when you set it down for a minute.
The handle itself is very short and has a rounded end which allows it to fit perfectly in the palm of your hand for an easier whisking motion.
Plus it was seven bucks.

Great wisk! Used it myself and never lets me down
