Tiny Whisk or Flat Whisk?

Tiny Whisk or Flat Whisk? Let’s see what top YouTube cooks think…

Babish loves his Tiny Whisk. As seen below:

And J. Kenji López-Alt kind of infers that he started the Tiny Whisk craze first:

So the Tiny or Mini whisk seems to be a popular choice for kitchen cutlery by these two fine gents.

But….we here at The Cutlery Review recommend the flat whisk. It fits flat pans better, it will conform to any bowl, and it just seems work better. Amazing for cooking salsas! Try it for yourself.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make the cutlery rounder, we will make it rounder. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We control your cutlery.

Weird huh!? The guys over at Object Rights have designed this rounded flatware. Every knife, fork and spoon is fit to the circle of your plate.

Spoon Essential Oil Burner

Sooooo…this was sent in by a reader and we were a little taken aback initially. It is, practically, a DIY essential oil burner. It is a great use of an old spoon you might have kicking around and a block of wood. But this use of cutlery smacks of another popular use that seems unsavory.

So the question to our readers is what would your reaction be if you saw this in someone’s home?

The Fork was once considered immoral, unhygienic and a tool of the Devil.

That got your attention didn’t it? Evil cutlery?

Our friends at SmithsonianMag.com have published an amazing article that provides some amazing facts about regular household objects. Including a great bit on forks. And I quote:

In fact, the word “fork” is derived from the Latin furca, which means pitchfork. The first dining forks were used by the ruling class in the Middle East and the Byzantine Empire. In 1004, Maria Argyropoulina, niece of the Byzantine emperors Basil II and Constantine VIII, was married to the son of the Doge of Venice. She brought with her a little case of two-pronged golden forks, which she used at her wedding feast. The Venetians were shocked, and when Maria died three years later of the plague, Saint Peter Damian proclaimed it was God’s punishment. And with that, Saint Peter Damian closed the book on the fork in Europe for the next four hundred years.
