Best Egg Whisk Brands in India – Mishry
Team Mishry
Not one, not two, but we tested four methods to whisk eggs. The most efficient and time-saving method to whisk eggs manually is using this tool.
Whisking eggs manually can strain your hand and wrist if done continuously. Sure, electric beaters are an easy way out. But if you’re someone who prefers hand beaten eggs, we have an efficient solution for you that is also cost-effective.
We chose to test four methods of whisking eggs manually and turning them into omelets to see which method yielded the fluffiest one. We timed all the methods which helped us gauge the relation between time and effort we put into whisking a couple of eggs.
During our testing we found the spiral whisk (Top Pick) to be the most efficient method to whisk eggs manually in the shortest amount of time. More on how we tested these to find the best egg whisk is mentioned below.

Egg Whisk Brands – Everything You Need To Know
Here is all that you need to know about egg whisks, its types, material and average price.
1. Available Types
If categories broadly, egg whisks can be of two types-
- Manual
- Electric
As we are testing manual whisks today, they can be of different types –
- Forks
- Spiral whisk
- Balloon whisk
- Coil whisk
- Ball whisk
- French whisk
- Bamboo whisk
We picked four commonly available and most-used whisks. Ball whisks, French whisks and bamboo whisks were not a part of our review as they have specific functions and aren’t particularly used to whisk eggs.
2. Available Materials
Most commonly available material is stainless steel for all types of whisks. Some brands may also have silicone coated whisk wires. They also have different handles to make the grip comfortable –
- Silicone covered handle
- Stainless steel handle
- Wooden handle
3. Price Range
A single whisk can cost anywhere between Rs 100 to Rs 250 depending on the brand, whisk-type and material.
Needless to say, a fork is commonly available in all kitchens and doesn’t require an extra purchase.

Egg Whisk Brands – Our Review Factors
Our review process was divided in two stages –
Stage 1 – Timed whisking
Stage 2 – Cooking the omelete to check for fluffiness
During the timed whisking stage we cracked open two eggs in a glass bowl and whisked the eggs using a single tool. This process was timed.
Using the same batter, we immediately made an omelet to test the fluffiness as a part of stage 2. We only added pepper and a pinch of salt as seasoning. No veggies, butter or cheese were added. We then cut the omelet using a fork and knife to check the fluffiness.
Our review parameters are –
1. Effort
As we all have experienced this at some point in our lives, the circular movement of our wrists involved in whisking eggs can put a strain. We wanted to find out which tool/method of whisking requires the least effort thus causing the lowest strain on our wrists.
2. Time
Our whisking process was timed for all four tools. This helped us understand how fast and efficient the whole process of whisking is. Which tool helped make the fluffiest batch of eggs the quickest with least effort?
3. Material
The material of the whisk wires and whisk handle were also parameters. How sturdy or flimsy is the material used? Is the quality good or mediocre?
4. Grip + Comfort
How comfortable is the grip of the whisk? Slippery or steady?
When we beat or whisk an egg, it becomes lighter. Why?
The main reason to whisk an egg is to denature its protein. The chain of amino acids with internal bonds are broken when we beat an egg. This causes the protein strands in the egg to stretch and trap in the air. Thus making it lighter.

2. Coil Whisk: Mianku Stainless Steel Manual Egg Whisk
The coil egg beater had a combined hand movement of a balloon and spiral whisk. The handle has a loop if you wish to hand it on a kitchen hook or a drying unit.
The grip is very good and the smooth handle is comfortable to hold. Unfortunately the springing action of the whisk is not as smooth as our Top Pick.
This method strained our wrist a lot and wasn’t whisking eggs as fast as the spiral whisk which only took 30 seconds to fluff up two whole eggs.

- Whisking Time: 1 minute
Pros
- This whisk has a good grip.
- It is comfortable to hold.
Cons
- There aren’t any specific product-related cons, but this whisk took longer than our winner to whisk the same quantity of eggs. We also found the hand motion a bit confusing.
3. Balloon Whisk: Pindwarbros️ Stainless Steel Whisker
The most commonly available whisk is the balloon whisk. This whisk has a stainless steel body and a loop for hanging it. It did not win our review because it took the longest to beat the same amount of eggs as its counterparts. The hand movement strained our hand the fastest and it took 1 minute 11 seconds to finish the whisking process.
Features
- The MRP on the pack is Rs 599/-. We purchased it at Rs 199/- on a deal.

Cons
- The motion is not so comfortable as compared to other whisks.
- It took the longest to whisk the eggs using this tool.
4. Fork
Forks are easily available in every home. The fact that this was comparatively efficient and made a fluffy omelet without us buying a specific tool for this purpose. Whilst this did strain our wrist, its availability is a big plus. It takes whisking time of 1 minute 15 seconds.
Pros
- It is available in every home. No need for a special purchase.
Cons
- The motion of the fork can strain the hand within a few seconds, like that of the balloon whisk.
