An electric whisk is provided having an electric battery compartment 2 and a sliding closure (40, Fig 1) for the compartment 2, with means 8 to ensure that the closure (40) cannot be deployed to close the compartment 2 without providing an electrical connection. In alternative aspects, the whisk includes a guard 20 to at least partially prevent liquid from entering the whisk housing 1 at the place at which the whisk axle 11 emerges from the housing 1. A method is also provided to electroplate the whisk housing 1 whilst protecting the electric motor 10 from the electrolyte with wax or paint. |
