That's the way I learned to do it but I've seen other ways of folding on videos that seem to work well. These days, I just use a whisk.

A whisk? That is a wussy tool for folding when you could use a hand
mixer or, better yet, a stand mixer.



























Do I need a sarcasm emoji?

You likely use chop sticks.

I don't use chop sticks but I've seen people use them to mix batter. That's the nuttiest damn thing I ever seen!

Horse and buggy utensils.
I saw the good Iron Chef, Morimoto (sp?) cook his entire meal with
chopsticks one episode. That seemed dumb to me yet he won. heheh Guess
it's just a traditional thing to do.

What cracks me up is the average american eats all their food with forks
and spoons yet when they order chinese food, many eat with the pair of
sticks. lol Guess that's also just a traditional thing to do.

I always that was really weird too.

I don't believe that people should cook with chopsticks. That's just so silly. It is entire appropriate to eat Chinese food with chopsticks - unless you don't know how to use chopsticks. Chinese restaurant chopsticks are tough to use because they're long and made of plastic. We ate at a Thai restaurant recently. We like to use chopsticks. The Thais would probably think that's just weird - they like to use forks and spoons.

Folding *whipped* ingredients together requires a spatula, dipshits.
Doesn't matter what you used to whip the ingredients which are being
folded together. Use a spatula. DUH.

It's possible to fold with your hands as Sheldon said, but with typical
home-cook quantities, so much would stay on your hands (and have
to be washed off), that it wouldn't be worth it.

True. The comments about whisks and beaters is how you could prepare
the stuff which is shown in the video to be folded together gently using
- OMG - a spatula.

Personally, I have not had to fold any sort of dessert stuff (which is
what that looked like) in decades. Still, the spatula was clearly
demonstrated.
