Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisipro 3-Piece Silicone Whisk Set, Green
Customer Review: Buy 100% Silicone, NOT Cuisipro's 'Silicone Wrapped Wire '!
Summary: 1 Stars
In an effort to not scratch our cookware (be it metal, ceramic, stoneware, porcelain, enamel-coated, glass, etc.) with metal wire whisks, we look for alternatives.We try plastic whisks. Although it sounds like a good idea - because most plastics don't scratch - most plastics make lousy whisks. If they're too stiff they are hard to work with and you risk damaging your ceramic, stoneware, and enamel. If they're too flexible they don't do a good job because most flexible plastics are too flimsy. All in all, plastic whisks are not well-suited for the job but at least they don't damage our cookware as much as steel does. (Perhaps, on the other hand, you have found a good plastic whisk. In that case, please let the rest of us know which brand it is by kindly leaving a review here! Thank you!)
The answer to plastic whisks, however, is usually worse than plastic. It's called 'Silicone Wrapped Wire.' This sounds like an even better idea because silicone never scratches! In actuality, it doesn't last very long (if you cook) and soon you're scratching your cookware with steel. This brand is one of those. (Again, maybe you have found a good whisk made with 'silicone wrapped wire.' In that case, please let the rest of us know which brand it is by kindly leaving a review here! Thank you!)
But I don't leave reviews unless I leave you with GOOD NEWS! After searching and hoping and waiting FINALLY we cooks have a suitable alternative to stainless steel whisks! It's called Silicone whisks! Not to be confused with coatings of silicone, these whisks are made of pure silicone and can withstand temperatures of up to 800 degrees F. They are new on the market, and at the time of this writing, the only known brand is Le Creuset - a French company whose items are sold at Amazon.com

Description of Cuisipro 3-Piece Silicone Whisk Set, Green
Ideal for stovetop cooking and for nonstick cookware, the three silicone whisks in this set meet exacting 21st-century standards for both appearance and performance. Together, the whisks handle most kitchen needs. There's a 10-inch, 8-wire flat whisk for blending gravies and sauces in shallow pans; a 10-inch, 10-wire egg whisk for beating eggs, creams, and sauces; and a 10-inch, 16-wire piano whisk for mixing light batters. The flat and egg whisks are lightweight with slender handles. The piano whisk has a thick handle and enough heft to power through a batter. Securely connected to round, satin-finish, stainless-steel handles, the whisks' avocado-green, silicone-coated, stainless-steel wires are heat-resistant to 650 degrees F (345 degree C) and therefore perfect for using on the stovetop without danger of melting in hot sauces or by touching a burner. Because they're soft they won't harm nonstick cookware, and because they're flexible they follow the contours of a bowl or pan. Moreover, they won't discolor or absorb odors, and they go safely into the dishwasher. For convenient storage, the handles have hanging holes. --Fred BrackTool & Gadget Sets
