Whisks, sometimes called whips, are perfect for stirring sauces, soups, and liquid mixtures or for whipping ingredients to get more volume.

There are two major kinds:
Piano whisk (read more here)
French whisk (read more here)

The most convenient size for a household is about 12″ (including the handle). The piano whip will have significantly more use so that should be the first type to buy. It is good to have at least a couple of piano whisks since they will be used often. And then it is good to have at least one 12” French whisk that will be irreplaceable for thickening content.

Whisks are better to buy in a professional grade (full stainless steel) since they perform much better and last significantly longer. The great news is that commercial whisks are not significantly more expensive than those for households.
