Made from ceramic, Helen Chen's Non-Stick Matcha Whisk Holder and Dryer is sturdy, durable, and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Its unique design safely nests inner whisk tines inside the center opening while outer tines hug the outside of the stand to maintain their original curved shape. It allows air to circulate freely so the matcha whisk can dry thoroughly without molding. It helps maintain the whisk's original curved shape and keeps fragile tines from bending or becoming damaged. Simply run warm water over the matcha whisk tines with them facing downward and place whisk onto the holder to dry and preserve its original shape.
