This review is from: Calphalon Nylon Potato Masher (Kitchen)

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.

This review is from: Calphalon Nylon Potato Masher (Kitchen)

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 had doubts whether this would scratch my pans but it did not and mashed my potatoes just the way I like them.
