Handmade sourdough starter whisk

These are essentially mini dough whisks, perfect for stirring starters and preferments in small containers, made of stainless-steel and wood. They are about 10" long from end to end, and 6" long from handle to loop. Stop using spoons or chopsticks and switch to one of these instead! (They are also excellent for stirring tahini or peanut butter.)

Now using premium hardwood, waxed handles with a zinc-plated ferrule, made in Maine.

These are made using new handles; if you are looking for the "antique" version, you'll find it elsewhere in the shop, though they may be sold out.

Notes for using your starter whisks:

- Whisks are not dishwasher-safe. Clean by hand only and avoid submerging the entire whisk in water.

- The handles are coated with wax. To keep the finish smooth and water-resistant, treat the handle with mineral oil or board wax periodically.

- Avoid using the whisk with *very* stiff starters or other liquids. The metal can bend if forced, or come loose from the handle if abused. If it bends, you should be able to gently flex it back into shape.
