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

Not unless it is extremely thick.The wire whisks are for whipping a thin batter like a cake. The paddles are for thick dough like cookies.Bread has its own attachment.

It does not come with a whisk attachment though it has high speeds and can whip anything

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.

This is the one and only mixer you will need in your lifetime. I have made whipped cream, marshmallows, cake, cookies and bread. Everything mixed just perfectly. You are provided with two bowls, the mixer attachment goes with the one for whipping. Good luck!

sorry, i have never tried to get other attachments . this is adequate for my needs..eggs, potatoes, cream. blending things.

Yes, and it is made for kneading dough and really does a nice job in the appropriate speed and mixer. Start slow. I have the Cuisinart Hand mixer 3 speeds (CHM-3), and it came only with whiskers (beaters), so I click these kneading hooks in and works perfectly! And do not try to adapt any whisker (beaters) to knead any dough (light or heavy whatsoever), because they will pull up the dough to the posts holes and clog it/

Absolutely. The whisk attachment is AMAZING with the small stuff like that.

Hi Peggy, If you are talking about the center pegged rod attached to the bowl for the attachments, then yes it does and all of my old attachments have worked great. If you mean the actual whip attachments then no it does not come with those. If you have an old whip attachment that will work perfectly. If you are ordering a new whip attachment, just make sure it works with the older Universal, and not just the Universal Plus. My Bosch is about 20 years old, so I really have to make sure that the parts I order work with the older models, as the parts are so expensive (but totally worth it). This new bowl has made my Bosch like new again!!

Do you mean "scrape" out the dough? Once in a while I've had the dough stick a little, but not to the point of becoming troublesome or annoying. I did see this mentioned by another reviewer before I purchased. So far I've only used the scoop for cookie making but I must say I love it. I've found my family loves the small size cookies best.

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!

Because the whisk is balloon-shaped two of them side-by-side in the existing holes wouldn't work. So, if you're looking for light-duty beating, or don't have or don't want to take out your stand mixer, this works fine.

The product is designed to add to whipping cream at the time you are whipping it. So I add a package to a half pint of heavy cream and whip it together.

Unfortunately, I haven't tried it for anything but ice cream yet, so can't give a good answer. I would think you'd need a second spoon to scrape the dough off the ice cream scoop, as it had no "releaser", but otherwise it would work just the same as a tablespoon, or whatever tool you used to use.

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.

Hi Jill. I'm not sure if a mixer would be ok. Cooper is so soft. I usually do the hand whip thing...it's a workout but it's also kind of fun actually. I would be careful if using a hand mixer. Maybe try to whip as much as you can with hand mixer without touching the cooper and then finish it off by hand; if that makes sense. Good luck!

Yes, it doesn't whisk cream as well as I expected, but it's very good for getting lumps out of gravy and custard. Also good for eggs and batter
