Not comparable to the thin stirring wires of regular whisks: the spiral and therefore longer wires of the 'Speed Quirl' move approximately twice as much as the usual amount with each stroke. That saves you time and effort. Even more ingenious: the springy spirals force significantly more air through the food. This makes whipped cream, beaten egg whites, zabaglione, etc. even fluffier. Mayonnaise, omelette dough and stir dough are smoother and free from lumps.
