Whisking eggs involves stirring eggs briskly and changing their consistency, thus giving them structure that is carried into the baked goods or dish you are preparing. Whole eggs or just the whites or yolks can be whisked, depending on the needs of the recipe.

What does whisked egg look like?

The egg whites have achieved a consistency similar to whipped cream and are thick and glossy. They shouldn't move when you tilt the bowl. This stage is good for making meringues. BUT make sure you don't overbeat the egg whites, otherwise they will go grainy.

How do you whisk an egg without a whisk?

You need: A whisk

Whisks add in air when you're blending ingredients such as eggs and whipping cream. If you don't have a whisk handy, you can achieve the same effect by taping together two forks. Find forks with the same-sized handles and tines. Place one on top of the other so that their tines overlap.
