Troubleshooting
Whisk is not performing as expected (e.g., not incorporating air effectively)
Ensure the wires are clean and free from any residue. Check that the whisk is being used with appropriate ingredients and technique for the desired outcome (e.g., proper angle for whisking).
Silicone coating appears damaged or scratched
Inspect the wires carefully. If the silicone coating is significantly compromised, discontinue use to avoid potential damage to cookware or ingestion of small particles. Minor scuffs are typically cosmetic and do not affect performance.
Food residue is difficult to remove
Soak the whisk head in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before washing. For stubborn residue, a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive sponge may help. If dishwasher safe, running it through a cycle can also help loosen debris.
