But one part of baking I never used to enjoy was the mixing of the dough. At first, it gets all gummed up on the spoon or spatula. Then, once the dough comes together, it doesn&#8217;t seem as if you&#8217;re mixing the ingredients so much as pushing a big ball around the inside of the bowl.<\/p>\n<p>For a year, I&#8217;d seen the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B06ZYLPDYV\/cooltools-20\">dough whisk<\/a> ($9 for 2) in the King Arthur catalog. I never ordered it because I thought the wire part looked a bit fragile. I finally decided to give one a try, figuring I&#8217;d send it back if I didn&#8217;t like it. Well, I&#8217;m never sending it back.<\/p>\n<p>The whisk&#8217;s wire is extremely stiff. I&#8217;ve yet to encounter a dough it doesn&#8217;t slice through with ease. I don&#8217;t know how much thought went into designing the twists of the wire, but it&#8217;s amazingly efficient at bringing dough together. When I made a double batch recently, I was worried I might have given the whisk more than it could handle. Nope. Mixing took no more effort than a smaller batch.<\/p>\n<p>Clean-up is a breeze: Only a little bit of dough adheres to the wire, which is easy to dislodge with a wipe of the fingers. After that, it goes into the dishwasher.<\/p>\n<p>So far, I have the large model, but I&#8217;m planning to buy the smaller one to use in smaller mixing bowls. I suspect that once I also have the smaller one, I&#8217;ll never have to order another, unless it&#8217;s for a gift. I&#8217;ve seen similar-looking whisks on Amazon for a few dollars less, but I don&#8217;t know how well they&#8217;re constructed. King Arthur&#8217;s whisks have their logo on the wooden handles and feel very, very sturdy.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wire dough mixer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[26],"tags":[1320,2328],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4754"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4754"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4754\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33060,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4754\/revisions\/33060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
