ps. I recently found the pitcher online. It is linked below.

Thoughts? Anyone?

Check out the cooking forum, too. Lots of knowledgeable people there, too.

Could it be an alternative form of a millinillo? They are used for making Mexican hot chocolate. Usually the wisk is made of wood. It is put in the pitcher and used as you described, by rubbing the handle between your palms to mix and aerate the hot chocolate. NancyLouise

NancyLouise that is awesome! Thank you. I had to try a number of variants of spelling but eventually found a wealth of pictures and other information about molinillo stirrers.

My whisk is somewhat similar to some of those stirrers. I will have to try it with hot chocolate sometime.

There is something very satisfying about using it. Whatever is whisked stays nicely contained in the pitcher; it is easier to clean and quieter than an electric appliance, and it gives a great feeling of blending without using any electricity.

I better stop before going too far over the top.

Thanks again, the molinillo is very similar but not quite the item I need. I just *know* the whisk is still available somewhere.

All insights are appreciated.

Hello,

I am still looking for the mystery whisk.

Perhaps someone could suggest a good forum outside of the Gardenweb universe.

Thank you in advance!
