Does anyone else have the whisk from Nigella Lawson? We bought a couple of them before we knew who she was (and I think they were on sale) and I think its the best whisk I've ever used. Ours is a light blue color that she seems to use a lot.

My favorite thing to make for dinner is reservations.
I've had mine for years..before I even knew who she was. Did she 'invent' these? She must have been very young if she did.
My grandfather was the inventor of the hand squeezing, flour sifter. We have the original proto-type and patent papers. He sold it to a major manufacturer way back when.
He also would design cookie cutters and make those in his basement. Had all the equipment and he would take us all down there for demonstrations. It was fascinating as he drew them and would use these big pieces of metal to make them one by one.
Also made specialty cake pans for bakers in Chicago. He was very talented...oh, and he was also a professional opera singer. His life was very full and he passed away at 89. So many wonderful memories!
I bought this whisk for my Mom---both she and I have used it and it's surprisingly very efficient; I think its looped shape, coupled with the closely set wire rings, beats a more controlled area. It's sort of like a modified fork .
...And "BerryBaby"--thanks for the wonderful story about your grandfather. What a resourceful and talented man!

Thank you, we were all quite proud of his accomplishments and contributions in his lifetime.
The one in the picture is from Nigella Lawson's own line of products. I don't find it very comfortable in my hand.
The one she originally used on Nigella Bites was called a MagiWhsik. Fante's (I believe) still sells them. It didn't have the big handle, but had a flat stainless handle.
No I haven't seen those around here in the hills yet.
