Universal Whisk
The De Buyer Goma 20cm Universal Whisk is a compact, versatile kitchen whisk designed for everyday mixing, beating, aerating and emulsifying. Made in France, it features spring stainless steel wires that provide the flexibility and movement needed for everything from whisking eggs and cream to bringing together smooth sauces and dressings.
At 20cm long, its smaller size gives you excellent control when working with modest quantities, making it particularly handy for smaller bowls, pans and jugs. Use it to make a silky vinaigrette, loosen a sauce, beat eggs for an omelette or incorporate air into cream and egg whites. The stainless steel wires are securely fixed into the handle, creating a robust utensil suited to frequent use.
The insulated ergonomic handle has an anti-slip finish for a comfortable grip, while its curved shape helps prevent the whisk from slipping into your mixing bowl or saucepan.

Why choose a 20cm whisk instead of a larger balloon whisk?
A 20cm whisk offers greater control when working with smaller quantities and fits more comfortably inside small bowls, saucepans and measuring jugs. It is particularly practical for dressings, individual portions, eggs and small batches of sauce.
What are spring stainless steel whisk wires designed to do?
Spring stainless steel wires flex as they move through a mixture, helping ingredients combine efficiently while incorporating air where required. Stainless steel also provides the strength and durability needed for a frequently used kitchen utensil.
Why does the shape of a whisk handle matter?
A well-designed handle can make repetitive whisking more comfortable and provide better control over the utensil. The curved Goma handle also serves a practical purpose by helping stop the whisk from sliding completely into a bowl or saucepan when you put it down.
