What is the bamix® whisking disc for?

While the multipurpose blade chops and purées, the whisking disc has a very different job: it adds air to the mix. Whenever you want to whip something until it’s light, frothy or creamy, it’s the right choice. Find out here what you can use the whisking disc for and how it works.

What the whisking disc can do

• Whipping cream: fluffy cream in seconds. Find out more in Whipping cream & egg whites.
• Whipping egg whites: firm, stable egg whites for soufflés, meringues and sponge cake.
• Mayonnaise & sauces: emulsifies ingredients until creamy and stable. See Mayonnaise in 30 seconds.
• Foams & espumas: for fine dining and creative desserts.
• Milk foam: for cappuccino and latte macchiato.

How does the whisking disc work?

The perforated disc doesn’t beat; it circulates. Its rapid rotation gently incorporates air into the ingredients, creating volume without breaking down the mixture. The right technique is key: hold the bamix® relatively still and let the disc do the work rather than stirring frantically.

Tips for perfect results

• Keep things cool: Cream and the bowl should be well chilled for more volume.
• Use a tall container: This prevents splashing and allows the mixture to circulate optimally.
• Don’t overwhip: Stop whipping the cream in time so it doesn’t turn into butter.
• Use fresh eggs for whipped egg whites: and a completely grease-free container.

Whisking disc, multipurpose blade or beater?

The whisking disc is one of four attachments that fit directly onto the hand blender, each with a different job:

• Whisking disc = incorporates air (whipping, frothing, emulsifying).
• Multipurpose blade = chopping & puréeing.
• Beater = mixing & binding (batters, dressings, scrambled eggs).
• Meat & vegetable blade = coarse chopping.

For grinding hard, dry ingredients, use the Processor instead (with the powder disc insert for fine spices). This isn’t an attachment that fits directly onto the blender, but a separate accessory. The attachment overview explains which one to use when.

Where can I get the whisking disc?

Many sets already include the whisking disc, such as the Superbox. You can also find it on its own in the bamix® attachments collection. Find out what each set contains in What’s included in the bamix® set?

Conclusion

The whisking disc is the specialist for whipping and turns your bamix® into a fully fledged whisk. Combined with the multipurpose blade and the other attachments, it makes the bamix® the world’s smallest food processor. Find out more in the hand blender guide.
