LOL. Snowball, the thing on the left is known as a brotpisker, or Danish dough whisk. It is one of the most useful things I own. The loopy construction of the wiring means that ingredients blend together quickly without lumping, which is good for things like muffins, where you don’t want to overmix the batter (overmixing can toughen quick breads). On the other hand, because the handle is long and sturdy, it gives you a lot of leverage, so you can use it to mix heavier, stiffer things like bread dough.
It does look smutty, doesn’t it? The really sexy one, though, is the one on the far left. It’s about two feet long and I bought it for novelty’s sake, just so I could have a really big whisk. One of my baker pals calls it my discipline whisk. And yes, goliard honey, it’s *all* in the utensils.
