Good morning! I had a question that I forgot to ask last week after my first show. A customer was wondering about the potato masher - I guess she had purchased it a few years ago. For some reason or other, it ended up on the front lawn and her son ran it over with his motorcycle....:confused:
Anyways, the only way to purchase the masher now is with the other nylon tools, but she doesn't need the other ones, and she also didn't want like the
mix and masher. Is there anything I can do?
 
Nope. If she wants the masher, she needs the whole nylon tool set.

Why doesn't she like the Mix N Masher? I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that thing! Prefer it much more than the masher!

she said it looks flimsy??
 
It does look flimsy, but it actually works really well!! I use it to chop up my ground beef too.... Let me check at home, I may have the nylon masher..which I have never used! (I think I bought all of the nylon utensils from my show before I signed) ....would she be interested in a "used" one?

Ooh, I don't know! but I'll try to contact her today and ask! Thanks jenniferknapp!
 
The Mix N Masher is great. I would encourage her to try it (if Jennifer doesn't find her old masher). I used the old one a lot, but I really like the new.
 
Sorry, but I don't have the old style one....but I would suggest the mix n masher as well....and stress the guarantee, if she doens't love it, she can return it within the first 30 days... give her "your guarantee" that it isn't too flimsy and will work great!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a potato masher used for?

A potato masher is primarily used for mashing cooked potatoes, but it can also be used for other soft vegetables and fruits, such as avocados, bananas, and cooked carrots. It helps create a smooth or chunky texture depending on how much you mash.

How do I clean my potato masher?

To clean your potato masher, simply rinse it under warm water to remove any food particles. For a deeper clean, you can wash it with warm, soapy water and a sponge. If it's dishwasher safe, you can place it on the top rack of your dishwasher for easy cleaning.

Can I use a potato masher for other foods?

Yes, a potato masher can be used for various foods beyond potatoes. It works well for mashing avocados for guacamole, breaking down cooked beans for refried beans, or even mashing soft fruits like strawberries or peaches for desserts.

What should I look for when buying a potato masher?

When buying a potato masher, consider the material (stainless steel or plastic), the design (flat or ricer style), and the handle comfort. A sturdy, well-designed masher will make the mashing process easier and more efficient.

Is there a way to make mashing easier?

To make mashing easier, ensure your potatoes are cooked thoroughly and are hot when mashing. You can also cut them into smaller pieces before boiling to speed up the cooking process. Using a masher with a comfortable grip can also help reduce strain on your hands.
