his Dual-Action Potato Masher with its spring-loaded design eliminates lumps with every press of the handle. More efficient than using typical mashers, its open-wire design breaks apart softer cooked food, then extrudes it, to eliminate lumps and create extra-creamy textures. This Potato Masher is a versatile addition to cooking tools for mashing potatoes, yams, pumpkin, squash, rutabagas, turnips, parsnips, carrots, apples, bananas, and more. Made from 18/8 stainless steel, this masher is sturdy and durable, and will never rust. Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. (Designs may vary).
