If you’re cleaning out a relative’s house, you probably will come across some items that evoke a feeling of being a time capsule. One such mystery tool is the old-fashioned flour wand, which is, quite literally, a wire coil that little resembles a baking tool or kitchen utensil and looks more like an abstract sculpture. Generations ago it was essential to kitchenware.
The old-fashioned flour wand is a mixing tool that is manual, made of metal wire molded into a coil spring with a heavy handle. It looks like a whisk, but is meant to do something else.
Folding wet and dry ingredients together without mixing too much.
This simple object would allow everyday mixing for baking.
