Whisks can be tough to clean. All those skinny tines are great for emulsifying a vinaigrette or beating eggs whites, but they create lots of hard-to-reach spots to clean later. And especially when you’re cooking with bacteria-prone foods (like eggs!) or clingy, oily ones (like olive oil!), you really want to make sure your whisk gets thoroughly cleaned.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time wedging soapy sponges between the tines, trying to clean each one off individually. But I’ve frequently worried that I was still missing something, especially in the narrowest spots where the tines connect to the handle. (And if it’s a wooden handle, you can’t exactly put it in the dishwasher! Or maybe you don’t have a dishwasher?)
So when I heard about this trick, a light bulb went off for me. It’s so simple, and yet so effective!
