It's just a potato masher, right? Then I can't explain why it's so fantastic, but it is! It's not shaped anything like other potato mashers, which is what drew me to it in the first place. The ergonomic handle is great, it's very sturdy, has a nifty bowl scraper and mashes like a dream. Before getting this, I used my Kitchenaid stand mixer to make mashed potatoes. My husband took one crack at some cooked potatoes with this thing and was amazed. Perfectly smooth mashed potatoes with hardly any effort. I've since also used it to mash other things, like when I was trying to extract juice from some pineapple chunks. Worked great for that too! Someone else had mentioned it was hard to fit in a drawer.... we have what I would consider to be perfectly standard sized drawers and it fits just fine.Best Deals for Jamie Oliver Stainless Steel Masher
I have bought several potato mashers over the last few months in an effort to find a good one, and this one is absolutely the best of the lot. It is made of very heavy metal so it doesn't bend, and it smashes even undercooked potatoes. The size is perfect small enough to fit into a smaller bowl for avocados, but large enough to handle a big batch of potatoes. And it is tall enough that you don't burn your hands when you first dig in and the handle has rubber for a good grip. The holes are different sizes so you get a fairly smooth consistency. This is the one I use now.Honest reviews on Jamie Oliver Stainless Steel Masher
I don't mash potatoes, but if I ever choose to do so, this ill definitely be my first choice. No, I got it to mash beans. Pinto and black beans for bean dip, pinto beans for refried beans, and garbanzos for hummus. I also use it for mashing the split peas that I stew into soup in my slow cooker. A wire masher wouldn't work well for these jobs. A food processor is an unnecessary sledgehammer for the smaller jobs that I do, and I don't feel like spending the money right now anyway.This masher is very sturdy, with stainless surfaces that make it pretty easy to clean ss well. The handle is comfortably curved and ergonomic. It's appearance is sleek and cooler, much nicer than I expected from the picture.
Using this tool to mash beans has also turned out to be surprisingly easy. I usually heat them some in a sauté pan or 12-inch skillet to get plenty of flat surface to work with. And then I mash. This has been practically effortless. There is a tendency for the mash to go through the holes and gather on top of the mashing surface, but this is easily cleaned off with a Xyliss spreading knife.
Since I bought this used from the Amazon Warehouse, I paid a bit less than the current list price. And I have to say, it is one of the best $10 purchases I've ever made.
