Miracle Whisk feedback?
Has anyone tried the "Miracle Whisk" or any comments? I can't find any reviews online. Need to replace a rusted whisk anyways. This looks like a dream tool if it truly works as advertised on infomercial - stainless steel construction, dish washer safe, portable, whips up egg white in 2 mins.. etc.

Bought 2 of these at a craft show. The seller demonstrated the whisk by making a firm froth from skim milk. There had to have been some sort of thickening agent in his milk. I have repeatedly tried exactly what he said 1/4 c milk in a glass 2c measuring cup. I whisked for 1-2 mins (his was done in about 15 seconds). He turned his upside down it stayed in the cup. I ended up with a mess on the counter. When I contacted the Miracle Whisk company I was told they were not responsible. The person I bought from is a third party. When there is a no money back policy - you know it's for a reason.

Hey I just bought one of these at my local Fair. I think it is great. I admit that if I had only seen it on a TV infomercial I would not have bought it. But seeing it in person and using it at the fair sold it. I just made scrambled eggs this morning and then frothed up some fat free milk with Splenda in it for my coffee and it is smooth as silk. I don't know about longevity yet but definitely know about the function. It works great and is Stainless steel. BTW if you can find a local distributor you can get one for about $20 intead of 35.

Was just at the OC fair last night and picked one of these up and tried to make eggs this morning with it, but it seems that whatever makes it spin won't catch properly. Using about 8 eggs. The recipe book only mentions eggs in the meringue, so no real help there.
Looked for other reviews but found nothing. So far it seems like 20 bucks down the drain. Most things at OC fair are final sales only wih the exception of getting an exchanges, so we'll see if this one was just a dud.

My philosophy is that if a kitchen tool has existed for years and years there is a reason for it: because it does the job like nothing else can. Things like this Miracle Whisk are nothing but someone's wish to "get rich quick" by inventing a gadget to replace something that does not need to be improved. I really doubt anyone can improve on a good old fashioned whisk.

It seems like a poor product to me. I would never consider anything but a traditional balloon whisk. I can whip up egg whites or shipped cream in under 2 minutes with a standard industrial strength balloon whisk from a restaurant supply store.
Please don:t be afraid of the term industrial strength or restaurant supply store, what that actually means is a simple product that will last costs $10 instead of $20 for an inferior product sold elsewhere.

I never heard of this gadget before, and now I've seen the web site, I don't get it. It's a variation on the old egg beater with its handle you cranked round and round, only here you push the handle up and down. And at $35, it's expensive for what you get.

Their motto is, "Real cooks use real tools." A real whisk is the simplest thing in the world, just a handle directly attached to a bunch of wire loops that can be larger or smaller, bare stainless steel or plastic-coated depending on how you want to use it. No pushing the handle up and down, it's all in the wrist. And good whisks cost less than $10.

If that's too much work, then a powered hand mixer will do the work for you, and do it better than the Miracle Whisk can. Some cost less than the Miracle Whisk.
