How to beat eggs quickly if you don't have a whisk and a mixer: an ingenious life hack

There are quite a few recipes that call for perfectly beaten eggs. You can do this with a mixer or a kitchen whisk – whatever you have at hand. But what if you don't have either? Don't panic. After all, there is a way out of even such situations.

The idea was published on the lubowlmt blog about useful life hacks and tips on Instagram.

To beat eggs perfectly without a mixer or whisk, you need two ordinary forks. They need to be connected so that the tines intersect with each other (see photo). In this position, holding both handles, beat the eggs.

This life hack can be used when making biscuits. After all, perfectly beaten eggs are an important component that makes such pastries very fluffy, airy, and soft.
