Not comparable to the thin wires of ordinary whisks: the spiral, and thus longer, wires of the 'Speed Quirl' displace about twice the usual amount with each stroke. This saves you time and effort. Even more ingenious: the springy spirals incorporate significantly more air into dishes. This makes whipped cream, beaten egg whites, zabaglione, etc. even fluffier. Mayonnaise, omelette batter, and stirred dough are smoother and lump-free.
