Is the handle sealed to the whisk wires? Can water enter the handle?

yes the handle and wires are sealed and no water can get in the handle. This is a nice product and I use it quite a bit.

It is sealed and pretty watertight, but it is plastic; rodents can chew through it, and then your stuff will be contaminated. For your intended use you need a metal container.

I have 13 of these whisks. Neither the students or I have found they get wet; I even tried pouring water from the tap directly onto the base of the whisk (at the top of the handle and no water ran out upon shaking.

Yes, it is a handle. But the hole is because it is also a Carbon filter spot. I will double check when I get home to see if water would go through it but I'm guessing it will because its just a carbon sheet and a not very sealed cover.

The handle is rubberized and offers great grip. Not sure if there is plastic under it though.

I have used this whisk several times and haven't had any issues with the wires bending or shifting out of shape. It's quite sturdy.

The handle does have an indention where it meets the pot body, however, I have tried pushing a toothpick into the hole and it doesn't go in but about 1/8 of an inch. I also added water to the pot and turned it on its handle to see if I could get water to enter the handle or produce air bubbles, but it does not. My impression is that it is not an area liquid could penetrate the handle and I have never had any issues with mold.

It's probably impossible for water not to get into it but I haven't really noticed any poring out after I rinse It off its a really tight fit! But I also usually don't get the handle wet if I can help it just in case

No. It's glass. There is a metal band holding the handle on but the part that isn't glass is plastic.

If I remember correctly, the top is sealed, but able to be punched out to allow for the insertion of the drain pipe. Hope this helps.

Handle "feels" solid, but it is not, and water can accumulate inside. The exterior tube is steel, about 0.022 inch thick surrounding an inner rubber tube, the black rubber visible at the end of the handle where the exterior steel tube is cut away. This assembly slides up over a sturdy metal frame, making an almost water-tight seal. With the handles pointed upward, it probably would would be nearly waterproof in a dishwasher. Cleanup is super easy, since you just flip the handles to push leftover garlic out of the press. Then a knife or similar instrument can easily clear out the garlic from the press chamber. I don't peel the garlic, so the husk all comes out easily. Handle "feels" solid, but it is not, and water can accumulate inside.

No - nothing exposed inside. Just straight, good steel. The handles seem to be attached with 10 small rivets on the outside. I've filled it with water and felt little or no give when lifting the pot.

No, there is no place for water to collect the handle is solid rubber and at least on the one I have there is no gap at all around the handle.

Yes, it is. :) But - agree with others regarding the mechanics. The whisk thingie (technical, I know) attaches like a magnet. The base of the frother has contacts that you can't get wet. So, hand wash carefully. The frother doesn't actually hold so much milk that there would be a ton of left over. Hope that helps.

I have not tested it to see if it is waterproof, but based on the construction I would have to say NO. There is not a sealed houseing for the hot wire

No the handle doesn't have an opening to let water in. I haven't had any issues as of yet.
