Wire Whip
The Wire Whip is meant primarily for incorporating air into: eggs egg whites whipping cream some candies angel food cake mayonnaise.
The standard wire whip has stainless steel wires and a hub made of burnished aluminum.
Because the hub is burnished aluminum, the wire whip is not Dishwasher safe.
If washed repeatedly in the Dishwasher the hub will become pitted and give off a grayish residue.
NOTE: The professional 11 wire whip is the only whip that is entirely stainless, and therefore can go into the Dishwasher.
It is available on select model mixers and has an elliptical shape.
NOTE: If you use the wire whip for cookies, batters, mashed potatoes, or other mixtures, the tines may separate from the hub.
The flat beater is to be used for those.
