Publication number: 20050083777Abstract: The present invention relates to a kitchen utensil such as a whisk having a handle and at least one elongate member attached to the handle for contacting at least one of a food and a food preparation surface. The at least one elongate member has a cross-sectional profile that is non-round. Preferably, the elongate member comprises a central core and a resilient covering having a non-round peripheral cross-sectional shape at least one of V, flower, star, square and cog shapes. The elongate member may be shaped to conform to the internal profile of a vessel. Such kitchen utensils provide improved whisking, mixing, beating and scraping action.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: April 21, 2005Applicant: Browne & Co.

Patent number: 6454456Abstract: A wire kitchen utensil that is safe for use on non-stick cookware with an array of flexible wire loops, each loop having two ends secured to the inner end of the handle. The utensil has resilient tubing surrounding each wire loop to render it heat resistant but non-abrasive for use on non-stick coating surfaces. Resilient tubing together with internal wire loops preserves the superior whipping action of flexible wire with the non-stick non-abrasive properties of a heat resistant resilient surface. The wire loops and associated tubing may be disposed in any conventional configuration such as that of a pastry blender, potato masher, piano whisk; an egg whisk; a flat whisk; a balloon whisk; or a Swedish style/helical wire configuration.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2001Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: Browne & Co., Ltd.Inventor: Peter Browne

Patent number: 6257752Abstract: A wire whisk that is safe for use on non-stick cookware with an array of flexible wire loops, each loop having two ends secured to the inner end of the handle. The whisk has silicone tubing surrounding each wire loop to render it heat resistant but non-abrasive for use on non-stick coating surfaces. Silicone tubing together with internal wire loops preserves the superior whipping action of flexible wire with the non-stick non-abrasive properties of a silicone surface. The wire loops and associated tubing may be disposed in any conventional whisk configuration such as that of a piano whisk; an egg whisk; a flat whisk; a balloon whisk; or a Swedish style/helical wire configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2000Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Browne & Co.

Patent number: 5912039Abstract: A device and method for generating a frothed milk product from a milk composition employs a planar agitator blade having opposed, smooth flat faces extending perpendicularly of a longitudinal axis of rotation, and a smooth cylindrical outer wall between the flat faces; the outer wall has a circumferential length significantly greater than the distance between the opposed faces. The device produces thick milk shakes even when employing no-fat or low fat milk or yogurt in place of normal homogeneous milk. A blender having a blender blade with opposed flat surfaces and a smooth cylindrical outer blade wall, and having ribs extending radially outwardly along the opposed surfaces, serves to puree fruit or vegetable morsels with the milk composition, to produce fruit or vegetable flavored milk shakes.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1997Date of Patent: June 15, 1999Assignee: Browne & Co. Ltd.Inventor: Peter Browne
