The Vase Whisk by Kuhn Rikon

WHAT IS IT?

The Vase Whisk mixes salad dressings and marinades to a perfection. Sounding like a baby's whisk, this solid container and the stainless steel whisk within, ensures that dressings are evenly mixed when shaken. It's Swiss so quality is high and it's ergonomic.
