Potato Masher - Most Common Tool in the Kitchen
I was looking for a high quality potato masher and my friend suggested me to go for the Smooth Potato Masher from the Oxo Good Grips. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. One thing that I liked about this masher is that the surface area of the head is really big and it can easily take three to four boiled potatoes at a time. Start off by going to the store for your staple ingredients: potatoes, onion, cheese, salt, pepper, garlic, sour cream or heavy cream, and butter. This kitchen utensil is really something. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes, then stir with a whisk, or fork or hand mixer.
This is a healthy soup recipe that can be made from all natural (even organic) ingredients. Choose a masher with a good handle that is comfortable to use. Potatoes are a wonderful vegetable indeed. The choice is totally up to you, but if you eat potatoes with the skin on you are adding about 2 grams of fiber per serving. Potato Masher features a sturdy stainless steel wire head and a cushioned handle that absorbs pressure while you mash. If you’re kind to potatoes, they’ll be kind to you. To make creamy mashed potatoes or delicious “smashed” potatoes, you don’t need a lot of complicated fancy equipment. Try mashing yams, carrots, or other root vegetables, or make homemade baby food by mashing apples or bananas.
It takes up minimal space in your cupboard or drawer. The Oxo comes with Smooth Masher that is specially crafted to smash the potato smoothly with nice uniform texture. But having bought and used it, I am happy and do not regret. This is a mediocre potato masher and though it is superior to my previous plastic masher, I would never rate this above the potato ricer. Use a strong spoon to beat further, adding milk to achieve the consistency you desire. Having used to the traditional vertical tools, I found it funny to hold the other way all of a sudden and in course of time got used to it. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Typically it is held the weekend of the second to last football game of the season.
