I have Calphalon Commercial Cookware it is nonstick and I have used a hand mixer in it for years. The only thing that they do not recommend is using a electric knife. I love it for it is pricey.
But I never suggest doing it to anyone because there are so many types of cookware. I do not watn to be the blame for messing up someone elses stuff. I actually went to a training class on types of cookware. There are so many differant types with in a brand. So I always sugget non metal utensils, handwashing and do not use Pam or areosol cooking spray.

You are too funny!! Perky as the day is long....:D
 
I am going to have to go through and read this entire thread so I can catch up on the converstation....I can see this is know longer about a whisk!! HA!:eek::D
 
Whewww, now that I am caught up I will comment. I know y'all are just waiting on pins and needles to "hear" my opinion!:eek:

Rachel Ray - I like to watch her shows I record her cooking show and talk show. If it looks intersting I watch it, if not I delete it. I watch her but I RARELY ever cook anything that she cooks and when I have we have not liked it. Turkey burger is the nastiest thing I have ever tried!

Paula Deen - LOVE LOVE LOVE her! Have all her books and record her shows. I don't like PArty as much as I use to, depends on the guest. I have tried many of her recipes and have loved them all. Even my picky husband likes hers. I read the biography and was disappointed about the affair with a married man! But at least she had the guts to own up to her mistakes and not try to white wash over them. I could have done without the language. I do not curse and do not like to hear or read it. A friend went to her show and was VERY disappointed and told me she was glad I did not go. A client of our was at Party one time and loved it but it took 6 hours to tape. She got to meet her.

Giada - Russell loves to look at her too. I like her but do not watch her that often. I have always like her pronouncing Italian but I have read so many complaints on here about it after NFNS that it is starting to get on my nerves too, ha!

Ina - I watch very seldom but have liked what I watched.

Alton Brown - I think he is an IDIOT but I have watched him and do watch Iron Chef some. He does give ineresting tid bits.


Bobby Flay - I have watched Throwdown and I like it. I have been more exposed to him on NFNS and will probably start watching more.

Guy - I like him and he has continued to grow on me. Me and Russell both love DD&D. At first I did not like him and his crazy hair though!

Sandra Lee - I like her shows. Got a cookbook of hers but not impressed so far. I haven't used any recipe yet though. I love the tablescapes but would never have the money to buy it or the place to store it though.

I LOVE Paula's magazine. I keep everyone of them and buy the special issues. I missed the first two specials. Ordered one and got the other when we went to Savannah to complete my collection. I have Uncle Bubba's and Jamie and Bobby's too.

I get RR's but I could do without it. As a matter of fact I had let my subscription expire and my MIL renewed it for me when someone was selling magazine b/c she knows I like RR but did not know I did not care if I got the mag, ha! Sweet of her though! RR's cookware is over priced but if I could sell my stuff for that price I would too - who wouldn't!!!!
 
Sorry Jen, I raved about Sandra Lee to you, sorry you don't care for her cookbook, I love all of mine :)


Yeah, we are farrrr off from the whisk topic :)

No problem. I may have ordered the wrong one. And I haven't had a lot of time to really look at it. I got it right around the time I had Cole and now with me doing WW I know it was not be very "friendly." HA!
