What is a Whisk Attachment?
Amongst the standard equipment provided with a Spar planetary mixer are a variety of extremely useful attachments. As well as the invaluable flat beater and dough hook, there is also a whisk attachment. What does a whisk attachment look like? It is a quality, stainless steel wire balloon whisk, and is interchangeable with the usual central paddle in a planetary mixer. The whisk mixer attachment should be used when you want to whip more air into a mixture. This will also increase volume. For instance, a balloon wire whisk whip attachment is ideal for whipping up egg whites and sugar when making meringues.
Why Use a Whisk Mixer Attachment?
A wire whisk attachment does exactly the same job as a hand-held whisk would do. But the great advantage of using a whisk attachment with a planetary mixer is that you can produce significantly larger quantities. Whisking eggs, cream and other mixtures is labour intensive and time consuming. By using a purpose-designed whisk attachment, caterers are more efficient and quality is consistent. We supply planetary mixers with helpful whisk mixer attachments to a wide variety of businesses and organisations. Whether it’s in a restaurant, school, bakery or hospital, taking advantage of what you can do with a wire whisk attachment can be transformative.
How Wire Whisk Attachments are Commonly Used
Cooks commonly employ a whisk attachment to beat egg whites to their highest peaks, to finish off mashed potatoes and to whip cream. Heavy cream is quickly aerated, making your planetary mixer the perfect whipped cream maker. The wire whisk can also be used to cream butter and sugar, ensuring it is light and fluffy. So a whisk mixer attachment is great for the early stages of a cake or biscuit mixture, prior to changing to a paddle or dough hook attachment.
