OXO Nylon Potato Masher: Soft-Grip Handle, Dishwasher-Safe, Black, 10.2" Length, 3.9" Width, Ideal for Potatoes & Beans

Review is for: OXO Nylon Potato Masher I have owned one of these for at least 30 years. It has been very durable and does a great job of making potatoes into marvelous mashers. You can get the consistency that you want. Remember, to get the soft creamy buttery ones you need to add the butter first so the heat of the taters melts it. Do some mashing to blend that in and to make it easier to incorporate milk or cream to avoid splashing. Warm milk or cream in microwave to keep it ready to serve. It does the job very well. The rounded bottom edge gets into the perimeter of the bowl. Also the best place to mash is a flat bottom stoneware bowl. If you have one with taller sides they are great. This item is very easy to clean. I usually just swipe most of the taters off the tines with a spatula, bop it in the side of my bowl ( not too hard) to remove more of the taters between the tines, then immediately rinse and let it soak in another bowl till after dinner where I wash it properly. Residual potatoes will rinse away. I just want to mention the reason for purchase is that these are gifts to others. My masher is still in top shape. After years and years, there is no damage. The newer ones are a tad smaller than the one from the 1990s but it looks very well made too. I like OXO products because they earned my trust. However, I have a critical eye and will not purchase if I find a better item at a better price.

I’m so happy I finally found this kitchen tool that isn’t wrecking the bottom of my pan when I make mashed potatoes. This is my go to kitchen tool when I take out the potatoes and helps makes them the perfect texture. It fits in my drawer nice too! It’s light weight yet sturdy and I won’t be able to live without this now!

Plastic changed from previous versions. Need to very matte plastic sheds material and cleans as well as before.

This is a good masher. I make sweet pitatato casserole with it mashed poattaoes yukka potatato guacamole for amazing smooth texture. I don't need to pull out a mixer. This works just fine. Great result

Nice to grip handle and sturdy masher that is evenly distributed when you press down to mash (unlike those mashers that are ‘bent’ ) Has lasted a good while now, easily cleaned in the microwave.

It works really well! The rounded edges help when you want to mash potatoes in the pan. I was sad my previous masher broke until I got to use this one. I would buy this one again!

It does it’s job well and it’s sturdy

Good quality does a great job

My husband loves this potato masher. He says the texture it creates is perfect.
