Kitchen "Candy" ~ Or, Look What I Just Got!

[msmofet]

Might be at Canadian Tire. I also use Lee Valley and Williams Food Equipment. I have seen it, and saved to an onsite wish list for at least one of those stores.

Sometimes it's hard to tell from the pictures. But, for all I know, we get a different version, with metric, here in Canada. I'm curious about that too.

My 2 cup OXO (like above) has ML measurements on one side.

Here's a picture from Amazon. I hope it helps.

Thanks for the info. Cool.

I ordered myself a few things from Amazon. These came yesterday.
I really like OXO products.

A while ago I mentioned in another thread that my SO always chose the wrong tool for the job.

The other day she wanted to whip some frosting so she grabbed my OXO 9" whisk and promptly broke it.

I replaced it with this:

Nice handle on that new one Andy, like it.

I prefer really wide/big balloon on my whisks. Hard to find them.

I don't have a balloon whisk. Just two regular whisks of different sizes. I don't really have a need for a balloon. I don't often make whipped cream or meringues. These whisks do everything else.

I have 3 of the OXO Grinders. One for salt and two for pepper (black in one, mixed colors in the other). Like you, I love them.

If you ever make breads or pizza crust, I find that a Danish Whisk is so helpful! Much easier that getting the stand mixer out and then cleaning it too. I love mine.

Ginny, I like to use mine for some cookie and muffin recipes too.

Agreed! Lots of uses for dough and batters!

+2! I also use mine getting the mixer bowl ready when making bread, as well as when making dishes that do not need the mixer.

Seems to me that it would be kinda difficult to mix bread or pizza dough with one of those. Maybe my doughs are thicker than what you're used to or your wrists are stronger.

That's what I thought when I first heard about it. But, it was cheap enough, so I thought I would try it. It works! At least enough to get it together so I can knead the dough.

Anyway, SO would have a challenge to break it?

When I make bagels, for example, I knead the dough for 10 minutes in my KA. That's equivalent to 20 minutes by hand. I don't care to sign up for that.

Agreed & I don't blame you one bit!

 

[pepperhead212]

Most of the bread doughs I start the day before, or earlier, with the dough whisk, in smaller amounts, with more liquid % - then the mixer finishes the work! No way I do it start to finish by hand, except maybe when I make some flat breads, that only has a couple of cups of flour, and doesn't get kneaded much.

 

[msmofet]

I have one of those dough whisks. I use it to start/mix no knead bread.


All my other dough gets done in the bread maker on dough cycle, then shaped and finished in the oven.
