Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Brasserie in York needed a whisk that could withstand the daily punishment of a busy service, particularly for their signature sauces and custards made in hot pans. Their standard whisks would often have handles that would degrade or wires that would bend after only a few weeks of use.
"We were going through whisks every month. The wires would splay or the handles would melt. Since switching to the Matfer Bourgeat model, we haven't had to replace a single one. It’s just solid, reliable, and does the job without any fuss, day in, day out."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The switch resulted in a significant drop in kitchen utensil replacements and improved staff morale by providing a tool that was truly fit for purpose.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give it a good wash in hot, soapy water before its first use.
- That's it! It's ready to start whisking.
Keeping It Going
- Completely dishwasher safe for easy and thorough cleaning.
- Always store it in a dry place, either hung up or in a utensil holder.
- Periodically check that the wires are still secure, though it's built to last.
- Avoid using on non-stick cookware to prevent scratching the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this whisk fully dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, both the stainless steel wires and the waterproof Exoglass handle are designed to be completely safe for commercial dishwashers.
Q: What exactly is Exoglass?
A: It's a patented composite material made by Matfer Bourgeat, known for being extremely durable, non-porous, hygienic, and heat-resistant up to 220°C.
Q: Can I use this whisk in my non-stick pans?
A: It's not recommended. The stainless steel wires can scratch non-stick surfaces. We suggest a silicone-coated whisk for use with non-stick cookware.
Q: How 'sturdy' are the wires? Will they bend?
A: These are made with 'shape memory' stainless steel, meaning they are very rigid and designed to resist bending or deforming, even with thick, heavy mixtures.
Q: Is the handle comfortable to use for extended periods?
A: Yes, it's ergonomically designed with a slight bulge to ensure a secure and comfortable grip during prolonged use.
Q: What is the main advantage of this over a cheaper whisk?
A: Durability and hygiene. It's built to withstand the rigours of a professional kitchen, won't melt or break easily, and is far easier to keep sanitised than whisks with unsealed handles.
Q: Is this Matfer Bourgeat exoglass 500mm whisk suitable for a home kitchen?
A: While it's of exceptional quality, its 20-inch size is quite large for most domestic tasks and bowls. It's primarily designed for commercial-scale food preparation.
Q: Are the wires fixed into the handle?
A: Yes, they are permanently fixed and sealed into the handle. This prevents them from twisting, pulling out, or creating a hygiene trap.

Ever wondered what 'Exoglass' actually is? Think of it as the superhero of handle materials. Unlike standard plastic handles that can soften or melt near a hot stove, or traditional wooden handles that can crack, absorb odours, and harbour germs, Exoglass is a special composite material. It's completely non-porous and waterproof, which means it’s incredibly hygienic and a breeze to clean—it can go straight in the dishwasher without a second thought. On top of that, it’s highly durable and resistant to heat up to 220°C, so you can rest it on the side of a hot pan without worrying. It’s the smart choice for a safer, cleaner, and longer-lasting kitchen tool.
