Many times the question is posed as to which kitchen tool a cook would want to have in their work area. Mine is The Cuisipro Digital Balloon Whisk. Anyone who has ever made ice cream base, pastry cream, custard, caramel, candy and pudding will know, that these recipes need to be cooked to a certain temperature, before they are considered done. If the heat is too high you will scorch or burn your sauce.
Using this brilliant tool has been a faster and more accurate way for me to produce perfect pastry cream, without having to try to hold a candy thermometer and keep whisking. This way you continue whisking and simply glance at the digital read-out. It cuts down on whisking and it keeps my sauces and custards perfect every time.
It is heat resistant and registers form 40º to 400º. I love it!
