I use this for so many things that I have lost count.  This whisk is not for whipping egg whites into clouds, this is for the other 500 things that a balloon whisk isn't best suited for because you can really get the bottom of the bowl or cup you mix in since the head is flat.

For example:

- Mixing vinaigrette
- Loosely whipping an egg before you put it in a recipe
- Tempering eggs before adding to hot liquid
- Mixing cream into melted chocolate for truffles
- Mixing up cornstarch or flour in hot liquid for thickening
- Mixing sugar with warm water before adding to lemonade
- Creating a slurry of spices and warm oil to brush on meats
- Reconstituting powdered milk without lumps
- Etc.

The only thing I would not recommend is mixing warm water and powdered egg whites together with this whisk, the tight coil quickly gets clogged.  Aside from that, I use it for everything.

Highly recommend!
