Lurch 1-Piece Potato Masher Stainless Steel

this is a very high Quality Potato Masher. it's as good as you'll get. I know this as I've used others. and none have been as good as this one. it's a well designed item. you could say made to professional standards as the steel used is thicker heavier and sturdier than some other mashers I've seen. also the bottom of the Mashers base plate has a slightly larger surface area than some other inferior Mashers out there. the holes on the base plate are a good size without being to big. just about right.but don't let the picture of it on amazon fool you as this masher is much sturdier than it looks in person. the amazon picture doesn't do it justice. it's also very comfortable to hold and use.ok" so it's not the cheapest out there. but at least you get what you pay for with this one. it's bottom sole plate being all "one piece with the side rails" and having a good weight to it. no plastic bits to break. just pure German Made Quality at it's very best. you really cant go wrong in choosing this well made Masher. if it's Quality your looking for then that's Exactly what you get. I have no doubt that this Masher will easily last a lifetime. 100% recommended

I bought this because my old 'good grips' masher was coated in plastic and some had broken off leaving gaps for old bits of food to accumulate. I wanted one with a crosspiece handle as it makes it easier to exert downward force. Two similar devices had photos from people of the uprights bending, this one seems to be stronger. It does a good job of mashing. It has no small gaps where food can lodge. There were no rough or sharp edges. It cost more than the similar items, presumably as it is more sturdy. Think it will give good long service.

Sometimes you get what you pay for and while this is not cheap it feels like it will last a lifetime. The masher plate and arms are made of a single piece of stainless steel and are not riveted to each other unlike some of the similar models. The handle is wide and comfortable to hold if a little chilly in the winter and the whole item has a feeling of quality and durability.Mashes well with plenty of holes and quickly produces proper hand mashed potato or swede. Easy to clean and no rubber grips to worry about in the dishwasher. A well designed, quality item.

This is a very good sturdy piece of quality masher I've had in years definitely recommended it. The only thing is i wish the handle was a little bit bigger for me thats because iv got big hands

This potato masher is certainly sturdy,quite solidly made for long lasting use. Easy to achieve a perfectly smooth ( no nasty lumps) creamy mash with this professional kitchen utensil. All it needs is a quick wash with a little soapy water to keep it fresh.Copes with a good amount of potatoes in a saucepan, making light work of the job.Great product at an excellent price, I certainly recommend this as a quality item at value for money price.

I won't say I've tried them all but I'm always on the lookout for good kitchen tools and I'm in no doubt this is THE masher for the discriminating masher. It took a while for the penny to drop on the wisdom of the horizontal handle and now we see several manufacturers understand the mechanics of mashing. But this is a cut above. One piece base - I think the handle is welded but you can't see the join. A very slight camber - proud by c1 millimeter at the middle of the base - ensures every atom of potato is pulverised; no more masher-escapees - those solid flecks of potato you sometimes spot in what you might have thought was a homogeneous mess. Thicker grade steel than you'll see on probably any other masher. I've seen similar models develop a negative camber after extensive use so I'm sure this will hold its shape.Note that compared to the average masher this, with its larger face and perhaps with a greater proportion of its area devoted to squashing, may offer slightly more resistance at the beginning of the job, gradually easing up as the spuds submit. A superb tool.

nicely made and comfortable to use ,works well.

Only minor gripe: two narrow gaps between the handle and the rest of the implement. I’m hoping they don’t go deep and just the way the light catches them. Time will tell. The holes are a little sharp, so don’t be tempted to run your finger across them to scoff the remaining mash!! :)This is the best masher I’ve bought - comfortable to use and really sturdy, like it’s built to last. Impressed so far. Fingers crossed no issues down the line but, it’s a solid construction so looks promising.
