Whole eggs or just the whites or yolks can be whisked, depending on the needs of the recipe. Many recipes include whisking eggs, particularly egg whites, as a crucial step.

Whether beating egg whites for a meringue or whole eggs for a cake, preparing your eggs first and using the right equipment will help you whisk your way to perfect results every time
