Cheap Calphalon Nylon Utensils Potato Masher

Customer Ratings:

I have a girlfriend but when I'm in the kitchen, Calphalon is my paramour.

Which is why this masher saddens me. The other reviewers have it right, smooth design, sturdy construction, gets into tight spaces, and a strong tactile response. But those are things I look for in a hammer, not a potato masher.

The mashing end is HIGHLY inefficient: holes are too small, plastic supersedes the space available for pressing food through. And so much is stuck in those holes and on the underside of the masher once you're through. A plain wire masher won't scratch your nonstick pans (assuming you're acquainted with finesse), isn't a tenth as wasteful, and is MUCH more efficient.

Bottom Line:

I strongly suggest getting something else to fulfill your mashing needs.

I was a little hesitant about trying this masher because it is thicker than the metal one I had been using. I usually slide the masher under the potatoes as I mash to move the bottom to the top for mashing. I have been getting away from the metal tools to protect my new stainless cookware. So I decided to try this masher. I'm glad I did!! It works great and my old metal masher is now in the box for Goodwill.

I really hate to do this, but I feel obligated because I spent so long searching for the right potato masher and settled on this one based on the previous reviews. Simply put, it broke the very first time I used it. I was making mashed potatoes, and when I went to actually do the mashing, the handle became detached. I don't think I was using it roughly, just the way I would think it should be used. Anyway, I do not recommend this product, although Calphalon usually does not disappoint.

I purchased this masher with high expectations given the Calphalon name, the design, and the material. However, the first time I used it the top part came off and kept coming off while trying to mash the potatoes. Needless to say, I was very disappointed.
