I would have no place to store any more spoons and spatulas. However, if they have a hole at the end of the handle, I can usually find a place to hang them.

I also like turquoise, and I have kitchen scissors with turquoise handles that are hanging in my kitchen.

I do not have a dough whisk - what kind of dough is it used for? It looks like it would be better for batter than for dough.

Most of my cooking spoons are wooden, but quite a few are silicon. I don't have any that would make scratches. For silicon spatulas and spoons, I prefer ones that are one piece and do not have separate handles. I've tried to get rid of all spatulas that have separable handles.

All of your pieces are pretty, but I wonder how the spoon will feel in your hand when you are using it.

I'll have to look more closely, but I'm pretty sure the spoon is one piece. i do have and use wooden spoons (which I love) and silicone “spoonulas”, which are useful, though they creep me out a bit, This is a deep bowled, rigid spoon that should function like my stainless ones. Different thing. All of my previous silicone pieces have wood handles. i don't mind them. All the new pieces feel nice in the hand, but I won't know for sure until I use them against weight,

The Danish Dough Whisk is for stirring up bread. It's best for single loaf, plain bread, but always useful. Just pull it through a couple of times and you're good to go. Much less messy than hands, and much better for even distribution, and much less mess and cleanup water than mixer/FP/breadmaker. This is the first I've seen that wasn't plain wood. Its handle seems designed for use in actual dough, though the whole thing is lighter and smaller than my wood handled one, I really did just buy it to be pretty, and maybe use in a demo. People like seeing attractive things, and imagining themselves looking good, even when the homely workhorse might be better. ;) But I haven't used it yet—it might be better!

It's the scoop at the end of the spatula that I wonder about. If I'm making a dozen cookies, I use a fork and a prep bowl, start to finish, For a full sized batch, msde in the mixer, I use a scraper, but then wouldn't want to reverse it to portion dozens of dough balls. What I think it will be best for, beyond decoration, is adjusting moisture content. The inevitable mid-mess reach for a spoon or little prep bowl when one needs a drip of water. Having an attached spoon seems like a nice little boon. Assuming one isn't using the notched scraper and mixer. :)

I've only seen the Danish dough whisk with a wooden handle. Mine came out of the handle and wouldn't stay in after a few years, so I've been reluctant to buy one again. I miss it.

Let me know how you like this one. Is it as sturdy for bread dough as the wooden handle?

We'll have to see. I was very careful choosing my wooden handle dough whisk, and I've been lucky so far. I do hand wash it, not that much of a wash is needed, because I don't want it to sit damp, That might help keep it from coming apart.

I thought that the spatula had a ball at the end of it - I guess it is a spoon on the other side.

I can see that your new spoon is one piece, since it is one color. I have some silicon spoons/spatulas that have wooden handles, and they have held up well, but I cannot put them in the DW. I did get rid of all spatulas that had plastic heads and separate plastic handles.

You convinced me that I need a dough spatula, and so I ordered a pair of them - one for each house. The ones I ordered only have one small loop, but I think that will make them somewhat easier to clean. I've been mixing a lot of my doughs by hand, and it looks like this might make it easier. I don't have a stand mixer in Cathedral City, and I do not like making dough in the food processor. I make a lot of pizza dough there, and this looks like a good tool for that. I also bake bread every week or two, and I've been mixing that dough mainly with my hands, but I start with a wooden spoon.

I never use metal spoons or forks for mixing. I do have some mini-whisks that I use instead of forks, however, but I never use anything metal in a pan, unless it is cast iron.

It's actually kind of hard to tell on the spoon whether it's one or two pieces. I'm not sure. The dough whisk has a metal disk holding the wires, which is flush, and has little room for crud. The spatulas, obviously, have separate handles. The ball/spoon at the end of the one says 1 TBS and is stiff silicone so you can push the dough out of it, but would have to push super hard to invert it.

I put my wood handled silicone in the DW all the time and they're fine. I do use eco-friendly detergent, though.

What is the size (overall length) of your new dough whisk? I probably should have bought one like yours, since I like the color.

I don't mind washing the silicon with wooden handles by hand. There are a few things that I have that I use so often that I always wash them by hand, so that I can quickly use them again. This includes a couple of spatulas that I have hanging on my refrigerator:

These magnetic hooks are very strong and keep what I need to have handy by the stovetop.

They also have a turned style plain scraper and baloon whisk.

This is the wooden one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002U85906/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The reason I wouldn't want to put this wood one in the DW is that there's a little wood showing in the center of the cap, where a little dough can catch.

I'll let you know about the utility. I think the wire on the old one is superior, but it only has to be good enough.

I love your notched scraper. I don't have anything like that.

Plllog I was so disappointed when the hook came out of the handle. I just wipe it off, usually, it doesn't need soaking. And when I did soak it was just the head, never the handle.

Wow! That's bad, Jasdip! They're so danged cheap there's no way to tell the knock offs from the good ones! I've always been concerned about what is essentially a glue joint, but with your care it's even worse that it came apart! A few times I've had an issue with a kitchen tool which was worth taking to customer service, but two were big name brands who replaced the items, and one was a small brand I was just giving feedback to, who replaced the item even so. The dough whisks are mostly odd brands that get their items from the same factory. No markings, and no recourse, Sigh. So that's an advantage to the pretty one, but without the sale, you could get three of the homely ones for the same price.

Love the idea of the notch for scraping beaters. I have to admit that I usually use my fingers!

I received my dough whisks today, and I have to say that yours looks significantly better - partly because of the placement of the two smaller circles. Mine has one small circle, and it is placed closer to the handle, which I think will be less efficient. However, it might work well enough for my purposes, and I do not have anything else like it to compare it to.

I think it will allow me to use my hands less when mixing pizza dough, and that is probably the main reason I wanted to get it. I'll see how it works on bread dough also, but I make pizza much more often than I bake loaves of bread.

My old one has heavier wire and it's dimensional, not flat. I think those are good traits. :) if I get a chance tomorrow, I'll make bread, and report back.

Pizza is like enough to bread. I don't find a difference mixing. Hands are still necessary for the last dregs of flour, and for pulling the dough ball, but the dough whisk is great for must of it. I use it for mixing dry ingredients, rather than a regular whisk, too.

Enjoy your purchase! I hope they work well for you.

I like the 'wood turning' molded ones.

We have had more than the usual breakage recently. It is interesting what tools become favorites. Some i've had for years. Some come highly recommended i rarely touch. One ugly red silicone measure with tBsp and tsp on each end is my go-to for everything. No diging and clanking for the metal ones. Being red it is immediately located. Feels good in the hand.

My Danish dough whisks are the dimensional ones. I purchased 3 back in 2013 says my amazon history. They really do wonders with mixing. Everything from mixing the dry goods to the thick wet add-ins. Excellent for arthritis. I gifted my parents one with some small bread pans and grain/seed bread 'kits' a few years ago. The recipe was complete with pictures. Next visit it was nowhere to be found. Finally found it hanging in the tool shed on the pegboard. This past visit it has gone missing again. Never found it. Dad was using a pastry cutter, lol.

Recently purchased a set baby whisks. Using more than expected. They fit right in the front of the drawer under the main prep area. Much better than a fork.

I bought mine at Lee Valley. It's a store that specializes in woodworking, gardening, kitchen gadgets, all kinds of fun things. I'm not sure if it's solely a Canadian store or not.

I really miss it so I'm going to treat myself to another. I'll ask them if there's any kind of lifetime guarantee, but I highly doubt it. According to their site the whisks are made in Poland. They sell 2 sizes, this is the smaller at $12.50. I bought the larger one; the handle is quite a bit longer at 14" but I figured it was best for leverage. I may be wrong in my thinking.

Jasdip, that looks identical to the ones I bought, and I got two of them for $9. They are 13.19" long and are made in Poland.

The difference with pizza dough is that I generally use no more than 2 cups of flour in one batch, which makes two 11" diameter pizzas. My bread doughs are at least twice as big, and that is significant when it comes to mixing. I like working with smaller batches of dough, as they are easier to mix.

Thanks Lars, so you have the longer length as well. They sell for $14 each. I think the longer length would be better, as I mentioned.

We have LeeValley stateside. Not sure about retails stores like in Canada, but at some point they moved a distribution mail order here years ago. Solid company i would think would honor a replacement? They seem to have good quality control that Amazon lacks.

One of mine came apart but i managed to get it back in and has held.

Sleevendog's picture looks like what I have. My mother has similar baby whisks. They're excellent, I agree. True about the Amazon quality control—one must check the reviews--but I find their customer service to be excellent.

Reality proves theory. The new blue dough whisk is prettier than useful, and the handle forces one to hold it in the way it wants, so is less comfortable.

I made a stiff dough in my Anchor Hocking 2 quart covered measuring jug, as so often in the past, to test it. This is one of my usual daily breads, with the close texture (more flour), rather than the higher hydration version. The new whisk was actually better at stirring the herbs and salt into the flour. The daintiness seemed to get it in the edges better.

Add the water, though, and it had a hard time getting through it all, then got stuck as the dough got sticky. I finished pulling it together by hand. It'll do fine for softer bread, but I wanted to really test it. As to sturdiness, it does feel hardy. It's the conformation of the wire that's the issue, not the construction. It does look pretty in my bread utensils box.

I had to smile at this Plllog ". It does look pretty in my bread utensils box." That really doesn't sound like something you'd willingly say. You're so precise, and scientific, knowledgeable about things. LOL. Even if it's not 100% as functional as you'd like, you'll keep it.

Well, I did say in the top post that I mostly bought it because it was pretty, ;) And half price. ;)

No need to tell me the joy and benefits of buying a kitchen item just because it's a pretty color. 🙂

I am something of an expert in that area......

I think the ones I bought will work well for my pizza doughs, since they are much smaller. I also think that this tool will be good for pancake batter, as well as crumpet batter, except that I do not make those anymore.
