I'm not saying it works faster, but it sure seems so! My strawberries meet the whipped cream rapidly and deliciously. It works so well that I ordered, received, and have happily used its shorter sibling, the 14" version that's perfect for my favorite stainless steel bowl, which is taller and more narrow than the huge, wider one. I'm keeping both, as well as my balloon whisk and the 'freakishly-small' one - similar to the one Chef John occasionally mentions in Food Wishes on YouTube. That's where I first saw the unusual-looking Piano Whisk. The other whisks s will easily find good, new homes. Upgrade and reduce!
