Answer 2

I got this recipe when I was in Key West. It for a pre-baked pie shell. I had it with both a cookie shell and a graham shell there. I would use a beater anywhere it says "beat."
4 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup Key Lime juice (they sell it in a bottle in the grocery store)
6 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Preheat oven to 325. Beat 4 egg yolks. Add condensed milk and lime juice. Pour into baked pie shell.
For topping: Beat 4 egg whites. Blend in sugar and cream of tartar until stiff and peaks form. Bake until egg whites are golden brown.

Answer 3

Whenever I cook, traditional or not, I always use a hand wisk unless the batter is to thick. But in my opnion I have always thought that a hand wisk is the best thing to use because it gives the food a hand done look.

Answer 5

Hand whisking is preferable because it doesn't cause excess froth that mars the surface of the finished pie.
