Nice way to include a technique in your ad. I'm certain to what your selling but perhaps if you included the tea bag you'd have a more complete package.

To clarify, for small amounts i whisk is used, in probably every major restaurant today. But for a large amount, like cakes a mixer is used commercially. I wouldn't know about households/home use.

Yes, if you used a whisk long ago, and not much since you went electric, that was your old way. And in general, everything electric is equated with modern.

Maybe I don't spend enough time in the kitchen but doesn't everyone still use a wire whisk to beat eggs?! It just doesn't feel like 'old ways' enough to me. It's a great image and it's hard to mark you down for it, but I have to do a -1 out of respect to all the others that seem better interpreted imho Brilliant shot in every other respect. Irene, I think the image is awesome and congrats on the ribbon... but I too at first felt that it was a bit of a stretch. I couldn't, however, force myself to vote it down low, because it is such a wonderful image. In retrospect, just because something is STILL done a certain way, does not make it not an old way.

Hi Leroy. Thanks for commenting. I didn't mean this image to be a stretch in any way. I use my electric mixer most of the time and I hadn't used the whisk for the longest time (I've had it for over 20 years). Even my dear old Mother-in-law uses her electric mixer regularly ;-) However, I see where you're coming from and thanks for not voting me down even though you had your doubts. The whisk was an "old way" for me and certainly no shoehorn.
