Precision Kitchenware - Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Potato Masher

4/15/17 Update: Flies off the handle (literally)! I've had to downgrade my rating from 5 stars to 2. It was a great masher for the 3 months that it worked, but on Easter Sunday the handle separated from the masher part. The two parts slip back together again but don't stay. It seems like another one of those items that looks great & sturdy, but not constructed with the same quality in mind. Item is NOT DURABLE and comes with a SHORT LIFESPAN. Not a great value even as an add-on purchase which it was for me.Original Post 1/20/17 (5 Stars):Mashed potatoes beg to be mashed the old fashioned way, by hand. Let’s face it, it’s simply sacrilege to use a mixer, food processor, food mill or ricer to make mashed potatoes, plus you run the risk of over working your buds.Originally, I had the one arm masher (one arm connected to the mash plate) which I got rid of promptly due to the awkwardness of mashing. Next up was the “S” style which was great but I wanted something different, more comfortable to use, and required a little less effort to obtain my desired consistency. For an add-on item the Precision Kitchenware definitely fits the bill. It’s actually heavy duty and solidly built compared to my old “S” masher. The metal is thick and sturdy with a rubber/silicon grip which is rather comfortable for the handle (not that hard plastic I had before), and the plate holes are unique as they are oval shaped. So far, I have tested this baby on potatoes, cauliflower, and yams for giggles and find the amount of mash-throughs appear less than with my older lighter “S” masher. Overall, for the value this is a great sturdy masher which promises to handle any abuse you can put it through, is quick and easy to clean, and guarantees to deliver years of fluffy billowy clouds of heavenly mashed potatoes to your menu! Can you tell? I love this masher & I love mashed potatoes! Let's see how long it lasts.

Sturdy and looks elegant. Happy with the purchase.

heavy duty and works great

Better than I expected for the price! Well made, sturdy construction and solid weight to it that will make it perfect for my intended usage.

The product states that it is 5.5 x 5.5 inches and that was the dimensions I needed. It actually measures 3.25" x 3.25". What a puny mashing head! It is sturdy but I am extremely disappointed in this product and would not recommend your products to anyone if you do not even know how to use a ruler!

Works better than the other products

I bought this masher after seeing it several times on a variety of cooking shows. I find it cumbersome to use though. Takes a lot of effort to mash vegetables. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but I find myself missing my old school masher.

bummer. I bought this for thanksgiving dinner mashed potatoes. the handle and the forked part separated while mashing potatoes within seconds of use. what a hassle. :( Looks pretty though but what good is it if it doesn't work.

Positiv: sieht hochwertig aus, funktioniert gut, angenehmes ArbeitenNegativ: Ich hab ihn jetzt schon länger und durch die vielen Spülmaschinengänge hat sich jetzt der Griff gelöst, der offensichtlich nur geklebt war. Ist aber nicht weiter schlimm. Lässt sich leicht reparieren. Außerdem nimmt er viel Platz beim lagern ein, was man ja aber schon auf dem Bild sehen kann.Fazit: Für mich ist er perfekt, weil es sich damit gut und angenehm arbeiten lässt. Ich würde ihn wieder kaufen.

Der Handgriff ist aus einem griffigen Kunststoff gefertigt und eingermaßen ergonomisch geformt. Die Metallbügel sind stabil und verbiegen sich auch bei größerem Krafteinsatz. Die Lochboden ist fein genug um die gewünschte Konsitenz vom Kartoffelstampf zu erzielen. Der Stampfer kann sehr einfach ohne Hilfsmittel gereinigt werden.

Selbstgemachter Katoffelstampf Hmmmm lecker. Durchdachte Formgebung so wird auch das letzte Stück gedrückt :)). Liegt gut in der Hand, Material u. Verarbeitung sind sehr gut. Meine Kaufempfehlung 100%.
