I have come across lots of people who find mixing dough by hand to be a turn off. This tool removes that barrier and makes the process more enjoyable. Thanks for the comment.
@@thestrengthkitchenI haven't as yet. I was checking out some videos before I did. I'm a rookie at baking...just been a month since I started baking. I will mix by hand , as recommended, for sometime to come even though I'm 4'11" tall 😊
I bought one a while ago and with old hands now I find really helpful. Stopped using kitchen aid some time back. I learnt hand kneading first but wrists/hands bit worn out now😊😊
Baby baker here...thanks for the info. Been baking sourdough for 4 yrs and always interested in learning about new tools & techniques. 😊 Ps: my tartine & rye starters are 4 yrs young & strong. 😄
You said “…to start doughs of all kinds…” This is an excellent point! You can start mixing with this tool and then finish with your hands after the dough has mostly come together. It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing choice. Use the whisk and your hands. Thanks.
Yes! Use the whisk and your hands. The dough whisk can be a great “kickstarter” to get through the sticky phase; and then use the hands to bring it together. Thanks for the tip.
Which one do you have, the same one as me? Or do you have one with more or less loops? I think it’s a great tool, but the bread baking community seems surprisingly divided about it. Thanks.
@@thestrengthkitchen to be honest, 80% I use my Kitchen Aid handmixer, 19% the Standmixer and 1% the (trusty old) spoon as recommended by John Kirkwood whom I really like...
Whatever works to make bread baking easy. Whether it’s a wooden spoon or an electric mixer; as long as there is fresh baked bread in your house…you’re winning;)
I have that tool and like it. Started mixing by hand and then bought one. Clean hands is a huge plus.

it helps a lot. Brilliant invention! I use it over 5 years
Nice! It’s kind of amazing how just 3 circles of wire are so effective at mixing dough.
@@thestrengthkitchen in fact a spoon rather like pushes the dough. This system act slightly like a knife!
Yep, I know what you mean.
Thank you for your recommendations...super helpful!
@@umaghate123 Thanks. I’m glad you found it helpful. Did you get a dough whisk?

I use mine every week when I make bread. I love it. I’ve used it from the beginning.
Nice! Thanks for the comment.

Nice! Build a foundation by hand and then evolve/adapt as needed. Thanks for the comment.
I just bought one, have not use it yet, however I’m going to try it. Thank you
Nice! I recommend starting with a small batch of dough in the beginning;)
I was thinking of buying one when I actually found mine in a thrift store!
You never know what you will find at the thrift store. It’s a great place to go treasure hunting for kitchen tools.

Nice! It’s amazing how time flys and before you know it your Starter is practically part of your family. Thanks.
I use mine all of the time to start doughs of all kinds, especially my breads.
You said “…to start doughs of all kinds…”

Thanks.
With clean hands dip hands in water and blend/flip and turn dough. No sticky dough! You’re welcome. 😇
Thanks
I like mine. I start with it and then go in with hands afterward.
Yes! Use the whisk and your hands. The dough whisk can be a great “kickstarter” to get through the sticky phase; and then use the hands to bring it together. Thanks for the tip.
I got along without one for decades of baking, then I was given one. I’ve tried it, and I can say that it works. Is it necessary? By no means.
Agreed, not a necessity. All bread bakers should have mastery of mixing dough by hand. Thanks for the comment.
I love my dough whisk
Which one do you have, the same one as me? Or do you have one with more or less loops? I think it’s a great tool, but the bread baking community seems surprisingly divided about it. Thanks.
I purchased one thinking it made sense but the dough builds up inside the loops and is a pain to remove and clean. I will stick with a spoon
Haha! It seems like the kind of tool that you either love…or donate to goodwill;)
@@thestrengthkitchen😅😊
I use one to mix my poolish. I tried it for dough but arthritis and carpal tunnel brought me back to my mixer.
@@lisarct1012 whatever it takes to get fresh baked bread happening:)
It's there to keep the hands clean but in the end you have to wash it off anyway. Hmm. Might as well use the hands imo.
I think every bread baker should know how to mix dough by hand. Mixing dough by hand improves your skill and makes you more self sufficient. Thanks.
Good to see Saul Goodman reviewing dough whisks nowadays.
;)
I got one as a gift. I think it’s just a wire that gets googled up. I think it’s a silly toy. I prefer a wooden spoon and my hand
Haha! Drop it off at Goodwill;) Thanks for the comment.
If you have moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome, it will hurt a lot using this.
Good to know. Thanks for the tip.
I have one but I don't like it, it is a pain to clean and I prefere my good old big wooden spoon..... if not the stand mixer 😂
I have never mixed dough with a wooden spoon. I’ll have to do just to have an opinion about it;) Thanks.
