   Hold the bowl rim with your non-dominant hand and the whisk handle in your dominant hand.

   Tip the bowl slightly toward you and move the whisk in small, quick circles along the bottom.

   On another day, show the rotary beater: hold the top handle still, set the beaters in the egg, and turn the side handle round and round.

   Tap the whisk on the rim. An adult cooks the eggs. Wash hands after handling raw egg.
