Over the years I have gekleppert me with its big brother -noch without Silikonkugeln- almost deaf. All the greater was my joy that it now also gives the flash silently! It really is scratch technically better for coated pans ...) Who now thinks, however, that are 3 sizes perfect for different sized pots / bowls, you are wrong a little! The handling of this whisk is the following: it does not move with it as with a mixing spoon, but added the "clapper" off the cuff in vibration. And the longer the clapper are, the easier and easier it goes. 21 cm sounds only times quite long for a whisk. But if you subtract the length of the handle and hanger, there is not much that could swing there. More specifically: the whole is somewhat equivocal. In tougher ground works on the turn or the components still quite good. The more fluid, more ... not. For me, there is no reason to see grumpy. A new big brother -with Silikonkugeln- comes into the house and I have the choice! Use the 2 with me in any case.
