I was wondering if the whisk attachment is desirable or needed, for example, to whip cream? Or if you have one, do use use it and for what?

I don't think I would ever use a whisk... and I use this thing for a lot of stuff. I make protein drink smoothies, even with ice, although I've heard that crushing ice may shorten the life of the blender. I make salad dressings and puree my husband's soups right in his soup mug. I've mashed potatoes with it, but I like my potatoes pretty stiff and it labored a bit with that job. It's not an all-purpose tool, it's great at what it does, but I still need a mixer. But... probably not a stand blender. I love it cuz I can zoom together my protein drink, whir it around in a mug with a little soapy water in it, run it under the faucet, and it goes back in the drawer.

The whisk attachment is perfect for whipping cream, but it is not heavy duty. For other things than cream, or big quantities, I use my stand mixer.

I don't have the whisk attachment, I use the main attachment to scramble eggs, make malts, puree. I have used it to whi cream putting it in a chilled deep bowl

I gave up. I could not get the whisk to make whipped cream, it was pretty useless in beating eggs...I really tried to make it work, but ended up returning them (I bought the set of 3) to the store where I bought them.

Without having ever made soap I guess it would all depend on whether or not you want air added to the mixture. If there should not be air and only a dense bar then do not use the balloon whisks. I have a flat whisk I use to remove lumps and blend so it sounds like that's what you might need.

it can't take place of a blender and won't work well on fruit. However, it will whip the heck out of any liquid, it does an amazing job on powders too (i.e. protein powder mixes, powdered goats milk and other powdered supplements).Key thing to know, never submerge the handle in liquid other than plain clean water. the liquid level should never be higher than the handle at it's lowest point.This is a truly awesome whisk replacement, frothing milk, making which cream etc. couldn't be easier. I highly recommend this product. ~mike

Yes! The whisk attachment is splendid for whipping cream. Would recommend a deep bowl though. I use these steel ones from Cuisinart I found on Amazon too.

There was a whisk attachment for the DLC-7 Super Pro. It was an optional accessory. So I think that there is one.

We have had no trouble with the attachments. We have a metal hook, plastic/metal whip and another attachment. All in all this has been a great mixer for us. we have used it extensively and have had no problem!

I love my whisk. I don't know how I baked without it. I doubt Sour Dough will harm the stainless steel... Mine seems pretty tough, showing no wear after heavy use. As for size... I have only used the 14" whisk, but I am a 6'1" bread baker. The 11" whisk may work better if you are more petite.

Well, if you're looking for something that will equal an electric mixer or one of those battery-operated milk frothers, this won't be good for that. I still have mine and I love it. I use it at least once or twice a week to scramble eggs or mix up canned tomato soup, stuff like that...anything that requires mixing via a whisk. There's no real technique other than not being heavy-handed -if this is shoved up and down too hard it's going to break or cause a lot of fatigue. I've found it's good for small pans or mixing in a smaller mixing/cereal bowl without a lot of splashing around. Hope that helps.

Yes. That is the version I use this with. It really is just a wisk, doesn't scrape the edges like the beaters do. I use it to mAke whipped cream mostly and it works great.

It comes with 3 attachments. The whisk , the cake batter and the dough batter

I've found that it works great for mixing cake batters, though I have not tried it with thicker consistencies like brownies. I suspect the whisk tines may be too small for heavier things like cookie & bread dough. Cakes are great!

Yes. with either the whisks or standard blades. This thing is awesome you'll love it. I know I do!

I use it differently for different purposes. For blending dry ingredients I use it like a spoon; for heavy doughs I'll use it like a whisk and spoon- stirring, folding and going around vertically like a bicycle wheel. I use the edge of the large diameter to get into the bottom corners of the Cambros that I mix bread dough in. It's a wonderful tool -hope this helps!

I actually have more than one whisk, but this larger size is a good all around tool. It obviously does not fit into perhaps a measuring cup, etc so you need to decide your own application.

I have had mine now for about 6 months and it is my favorite whisk ever! I wish I had one that was a little smaller too, but this one is perfect for most things! The wires on mine have not gotten bent and I put mine in a drawer that is PRETTY FULL!
