OXOGood Grips Stainless Steel Smooth Potato Masher, Black/Silver

This is one of the best utensils in my kitchen, arthritis has taken some of my strength from my hands. It is great to use this smaller, takes up less room, easy to use and not flimsy. It works great to help me mash carrots/potatoes/onions again without dreading the pain in my hands. The metal is sturdy.

This is the best potato masher I’ve had. Being stainless steel is great (my old cheap grocery store one rusted) but the handle of the OXO masher is the absolute best part of this tool! It’s comfortable to use. My old masher had a straight handle which could be hard and painful to use. The gridded bottom that smashes the potatoes is curved perfectly to hit the bottom of the pan right up to the sides. Plus it’s good sized so less smashing is needed! OXO products are fairly inexpensive for such well made and well thought out designs. I highly recommend this masher.

Very much perfect for our use. Does the job of mashing. Easy Cleaning

The design and shape of this potato masher, as with just about all Oxo products, is very intelligently designed. It works well with minimum pressure. The flat handle across the top gives you best strength and pressure in mashing with no hand strain at all. Highly recommend!

This potato masher is quite nice for several reasons.First, the manufacturing seems top notch. It's quite sturdy and doesn't seem as though it will be easy to bend without using much more force than is necessary for mashing potatoes.Second, the design is quite nice. The horizontal handle provides a more natural method of holding the utensil. This makes it much easier to use than standard vertical handled mashers. The holes seem to be appropriately spaced and the right size as well. It looks very similar to coarsely ricing the potatoes when they "squeeze" through the holes.Third, I wash it in the top rack of my dishwasher which means washing is easy. I haven't noticed any discoloration yet, but it is possible with time the handle will fade. Not something I'm worried about though.The only drawback to a horizontal masher is storage. A vertical masher is easier to put in a drawer or utensil holder. This is a very minor drawback though and obvious when looking at the masher. I wouldn't recommend getting a folding horizontal masher instead of this one though. That would just introduce an additional fail point.

I am a cook with shoulder issues and mashing potatoes has caused a lot of pain. I bought this masher to see if it would put less strain on my shoulder and it did! The only drawback is the length. I frequently cook for a crowd and the next time I make potatoes for more than 6 or 8 people I think I will have to divide the potatoes to keep from burning my knuckles. On the other hand it's nice and sturdy and a bit easier to clean than my previous masher.

Works great, easy to clean!
