by Gabriella

More air is beat into the eggs using this method, and the omelet is much lighter when you use a wire whisk.

Most whisks are made from stainless steel wire, but they are made from other materials, including wood and nylon plastic, or silicone-coated wire.

Keep in mind that, since most whisks are made of metal, they are not good for the non-stick coating of your pots and pans.
