From silky mashed potatoes to soft baby purées, a quality potato masher makes quick work of cooked vegetables. This collection includes wire and nylon styles that are easy to handle and kind to your cookware. If you're prepping weeknight dinners or bulking up your batch cooking, a well-designed masher helps get the job done faster—and with less strain.
A good masher does more than just potatoes. These clever tools are also great for mashing pumpkin, carrots, peas, and even fruit. Going for lump-free mash? A peeler or corer will speed things up before boiling. For tougher prep jobs like slicing pumpkin or zucchini, a mandoline slicer can help save your wrists. And if you're flattening chicken or steak to go with your mash, a meat tenderiser pairs perfectly.
Wire mashers give you a fluffier finish, while nylon mashers are safe on non-stick surfaces. Soft-touch handles make it easy to mash without slipping, and most styles are dishwasher safe. You can even use them for guacamole, banana bread, or prepping baby meals. Tip: mash directly in the pot to save on dishes.
