This innovative Potato Masher lets you make smooth mashed potatoes with less pressure on your hands. A broad, soft, horizontal handle lets you press straight down while it cushions your grip and absorbs pressure. A fine-grid, stainless steel mashing plate yields smooth mashed potatoes with no lumps. This tool is also ideal for mashing yams, carrots, or other root vegetables, or making homemade baby food by mashing apples or bananas.
