OXO SteeL Potato Masher

If you're the kind of cook who prefers mashed over whipped potatoes, this masher by Oxo may very well become your next best friend. With its stainless-steel wire head, the masher cuts through your potatoes and other fruits and vegetables, working especially well with yams, carrots, apples, and bananas. The large, comfortable handle is made of brushed stainless steel with rubber fins for comfort and will remain cool to the touch. It's also nonslip under wet or dry conditions. And the large hanging hole in the handle makes storage easy. Like all Oxo products, this tool is dishwasher-safe. --Laurie Notaro
