Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 3 Piece Stainless Steel Balloon Whisk Set
Customer Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted a set of whisks, and thought this product looked like good value for money. I am glad to say that I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to others. All the whisks seem very sturdy and differing sizes should suit most cooking requirements.
I did try to use the small whisk in order to beat a batch of very thick batter, and found it was totally ineffective. The batter clung to the whisk's wires and turned into a thick gluey ball: not what I wanted. This, however, was probably a result of my own error in using the wrong tool for the job, and not so much a problem with the product.
All in all, a good purchase. I did not give them five stars because the handles are just a little too bulky for me - I have small hands, and I do find that these are not entirely easy for me to grip. However, compared to the alternatives available, I feel that these whisks were still the best choice.
Customer Review: Good basic whisks
Summary: 4 Stars
These are well made, basic whisks, and are a good value!
However, if you are considering buying them, think about this. The smallest whisk has a very short and small handle. Since our hands aren't smaller when we are using a small whisk, this makes extended use of the whisk (if you have a large hand) inconvenient and tiring, especially if you are trying to whisk a fairly thick batter for example.
Second, consider how you store your whisks. If in a drawer, these are fine. If you want to hang them over your stove, they don't have hanger loops on the butt of the handle.
With those considerations in mind, these are very good products.
Customer Review: good whisks for a good price, but sharp handle
Summary: 4 Stars
My only complaint about these whisks is that the top of the handles (the round bit at the end) is sharp. This will probably get somewhat worn with time but it's not very comfortable right now. I could hold the whisk differently, of course, but that would be less natural for me. It's a minor complaint, because these whisks seem very solid otherwise. I've put them through the dishwasher without having water leak into the handles (an issue with another whisk I own) and the complaint I have isn't really a big deal unless you do a lot of hand-whisking. I use my stand mixer for that kind of thing, so I'm only ever holding the whisk for a few seconds.Customer Review: Excellent value!
Summary: 4 Stars
There's not much one can say about something as basic as these whisks. When I was in the market for a new set of whisks, I was looking for round handles and (preferably) metal construction. Most of what I found was REALLY expensive. I gambled and purchased these several months ago (after all how bad can they be for this price?). I have been pleasantly surprised at how much I like these whisks! They are light, strong, and comfortable in my hand. I am sure I might like the expensive ones better, but these are the better value.
Buy these and put the money you saved toward cookware where it will make a real difference.
Customer Review: SUPER VALUE
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a sturdy set, quality Stainless, well made. I've seen identical sets sell for outrageous high prices, just because of a designer name. A fancy name, does a lousy job of mixing anything. These are strong enough to mix whatever you need, without worrying about flimsy tools wasting your time and ingredients.
Well made for the job, and ready to perform as expected. You will not be disappointed, these are very good tools. Saving a bundle of cash, makes the icing you can whip up, even sweeter!
