The SSW018 is an 18-inch stainless steel whisk used in commercial kitchens for emulsifying sauces, aerating batters, and blending liquid ingredients at scale. Line cooks and prep staff operate it during batch preparation for hotels, restaurants, and catering operations. Wire loop construction handles volumes from 5 to 20 litres depending on vessel size.
Commercial Application
Used during sauce preparation, batter mixing, and emulsion work in high-volume kitchens. The 18-inch length reaches into deep stockpots and mixing bowls without requiring staff to lean over hot surfaces. Saves time during multi-batch production shifts.
Deployed during morning prep for hollandaise, béchamel, and pastry batters. Also used during service for pan sauce finishing and gravy emulsification. The extended handle keeps hands away from heat sources during active cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the wire loops?
A: Food-grade stainless steel construction meeting CE hygiene standards. Specific alloy grade (304 or 430) confirmed on request. Both grades resist corrosion in commercial kitchen environments.
Q: What vessel depth does an 18-inch whisk accommodate?
A: Works efficiently in stockpots and mixing bowls 30–40cm deep. Allows whisking action without operator contact with vessel rim. Verify your deepest vessel depth before ordering.
Q: Can this whisk handle high-temperature sauce work?
A: Stainless steel construction tolerates direct contact with simmering liquids during sauce preparation. Handle length keeps hands away from heat sources. Not designed for deep-frying temperatures above 180°C.
Q: How many litres of batter can this whisk handle per batch?
A: Efficient mixing in 5–20 litre batches depending on viscosity and vessel shape. Smaller whisks required for under 5 litres. Larger balloon whisks more efficient above 20 litres.
Q: Is this whisk dishwasher-safe for commercial machines?
A: Single-piece stainless steel construction withstands commercial dishwasher cycles. No wooden or plastic components to degrade. Position vertically in rack to prevent wire deformation during wash cycle.
