LF Metal Whisk with Threads for Professional Mixers

A whisk aerates liquids and light batters by drawing air into the mixture. The thin metal wires cut through the mass, creating small bubbles that expand when heated, giving mousses, meringues and whipped creams their volume. The 2 mm threads on this whisk are fine enough to incorporate air quickly without overworking the mixture, yet strong enough to withstand the torque of a planetary mixer.

The operator attaches the whisk to the mixer's beater shaft, ensuring the threads seat securely. Once the bowl is locked in place, the whisk orbits the bowl while spinning on its own axis, folding the mixture continuously from the centre to the sides. The operator sets the speed according to the recipe—low for delicate emulsions, higher for stiff peaks—then monitors the texture until the desired consistency is reached. When finished, the whisk is unclamped and lifted clear of the bowl.

The whisk is made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to hold a fine edge on the threads. The wires are formed into a balloon shape, which maximises the surface area in contact with the mixture and reduces the time needed to reach full volume.

This whisk fits DITO ELECTROLUX and KITCHENAID planetary mixers, including the K45, KSM150, Artisan, Classic and 5K45SSEWH models. It is listed in the catering catalogue under mixer accessories for professional kitchens.
