Abstract
A combination whisk and spatula assembly includes a handle that has a flattened base and the handle is standable in an upright position having the flattened base resting on a horizontal support surface. A whisk is coupled to and extends away from the handle such that the whisk can be manipulated for mixing a fluid food material. A cup extends around the whisk and the cup captures fluid dripping from the whisk when the handle is stood upon the flattened base. A pair of blades is each coupled to the whisk and each of the blades has a curved profile. In this way each of the blades can be scraped against an inside surface of a mixing bowl for removing fluid food material from the inside surface of the mixing bowl.
Claims4
A combination whisk and spatula assembly for mixing a batter for cooking, said assembly comprising:
- a handle having a flattened base, said handle being standable in an upright position having said flattened base resting on a horizontal support surface;
- a cup being coupled to said handle;
- a whisk being coupled to and extending away from said handle wherein said whisk is configured to be manipulated for mixing a fluid food material, said cup extending around said whisk wherein said cup is configured to capture fluid dripping from said whisk when said handle is stood upon said flattened base;
- a pair of blades, each of said blades being coupled to said whisk, each of said blades having a curved profile wherein each of said blades is configured to be scraped against an inside surface of a mixing bowl for removing fluid food material from the inside surface of the mixing bowl, each of said blades having a tapered end positioned opposite said cup, said tapered ends being spaced from each other such that an end of said whisk extending between said blades is flush with said tapered ends of said blades;
- wherein said handle has a distal end with respect to said flattened base and an outer surface extending between said flattened base and said distal end, said outer surface being continuously arcuate about an axis extending between said distal end and said flattened base such that said handle has a cylindrical shape, said handle being elongated between said distal end and said flattened base, said outer surface tapering inwardly between said flattened base and said distal end such that said handle has a frustoconical shape;
- wherein said whisk comprises a plurality of members each being coupled to said distal end of said handle and forming an arc extending away from said distal end;
- wherein said plurality of members includes a set of first members and a set of second members;
- wherein said set of first members being arranged to form a bulb;
- and
- wherein each of said second members had a length being greater than a length of said first members, said set of second members surrounding said set of first members.
