The PARMA spiral whisk has more air compared to regular whisks and also mixes ingredients faster. The spiral whisk is great for stirring sauces as it whips the sauce finely to avoid lumps. The PARMA series is made of stainless steel as it does not absorb odors from the food and is dishwasher safe. All shapes are well thought out and the handles should be comfortable to hold. All products from the PARMA series have a hanging loop so you can hang them on a kitchen bar together.
