Overview
A 10-inch flat whisk from OXO with four stainless steel wires and a non-slip handle, shaped for deglazing pans and making roux rather than general mixing.
The flat, four-wire head is the point of difference from a balloon whisk: it sits flush against the bottom of a pan, which is what makes it useful for scraping up fond when deglazing or working a roux smooth before it seizes into lumps. OXO's soft handle is built to absorb the pressure of that scraping motion rather than transfer it to the wrist.
- 10-inch flat whisk with 4 stainless steel wires
- Shaped for deglazing pans and making roux
- Soft, non-slip OXO handle
- Dishwasher safe
Who it's for
Suits anyone building sauces and gravies who deglazes pans or makes a roux often. Less essential for someone who only whisks eggs or light batters, where a standard balloon whisk already covers the job.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Flat wire head reaches flush against a pan bottom
- Non-slip handle absorbs pressure during scraping motions
- 10-inch length keeps hands clear of hot pans
- Flat shape is less suited to general whisking of eggs or batter
Performance notes
Because the four wires sit in a flat plane rather than a rounded cage, the whisk head keeps contact with the flat bottom of a pan through the whole stroke, which lets it work fond and roux loose without lifting off the surface the way a round whisk does.
