The whisk(er), the masher, the peeler

Whisk - "A whisk having axially elongated handle assembly and a plurality of resilient wire whisk elements mounted in fixed position on the handle assembly."
Putting it simply, the whisk is used to hand whip eggs, cream, or sauces. It works by beating air into the mixtures thereby increasing their volumes, making it light and fluffy. The more wires on a whisk the more effective it will be. To be perfectly honest I do not own a whisk. I use a very delicate gadget called "the fork". I welcome any debate of the fork vs. the whisk.

Masher - 1)(v.)A kitchen utensil designed to crush a food (such as cooked potatoes) into a smooth, evenly textured mixture. 2)(n.) Individual who is a big fan of the long running sitcom starring Alan Alda.
This utensil not only mashes potatoes or other cooked vegetables, but also gives your forearm a good workout. Yes, you can use a fork instead. You might even fascinate your friends and family with a bent fork or two. The masher's design delivers more efficient power to the spuds...especially when they are a whole.

Peeler-A kitchen utensil designed to peel away the outer skin of vegetables.
What an amazing device! Can be used for cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc... The trick is to remove the peel as thinly as possible so as to preserve the vitamins that lie right under the skin. The better peelers are those that have a swivel-action blade (like Men's razors) that conforms to the contour of the vegetable being peeled. Hmm...I wonder if a razor would do the trick for a carrot... or if a peeler would do the trick on a beard.
