Abstract
A wire whisk that is safe for use on non-stick cookware with an array of flexible wire loops, each loop having two ends secured to the inner end of the handle. The whisk has silicone tubing surrounding each wire loop to render it heat resistant but non-abrasive for use on non-stick coating surfaces. Silicone tubing together with internal wire loops preserves the superior whipping action of flexible wire with the non-stick non-abrasive properties of a silicone surface. The wire loops and associated tubing may be disposed in any conventional whisk configuration such as that of a piano whisk; an egg whisk; a flat whisk; a balloon whisk; or a Swedish style/helical wire configuration.
