A kitchen tool with wires or loops used to beat, whip, or blend eggs and other ingredients to incorporate air.
From 'egg' + 'whisk' (from Old Norse 'viska'), a compound kitchen term describing the tool's primary use of whisking eggs.
The development of the wire eggwhisk in the 1800s revolutionized baking by making it possible to incorporate air into eggs consistently—before this, cooks had to beat eggs with forks or spoons for exhausting lengths of time!
