I love this tool. Don't let the less than prefect rating fool ya.It is great for mixing and smashing etc. I use it mostly for squishing bananas for banana bread. It does a fantastic job.My only concern is that it wobbles a little because of the way the handle is attached. This may be a feature in other uses but for how I use it, it moves a little more than what I would like. I would like to see one where the handle is cast as part of the tool instead of a separate piece added to it. I may have to look at that if I need another one in the future.Overall a good kitchen tool and a whole heck of a lot easier to use to cut up bananas for bread than squishing them with the potato masher..Super sturdy, can be used to cut any food into small pieces. I used it to cut off large piece of butter without any effort. A very good toolNeeds to be a little bigger in the hands areaWell made and comfortable to use. Blades are sharp and a solid gauge.This is not only easy to use but also easy to clean. I've used it about 4 times already and it didn't rust on me. I'm cool with it.Sturdier than any I have bought before.I liked it to make biscuits and pie crust. It did an excellent job! It was very easy to manipulate.This is sturdy, sharp, and perfect. I love the color, and I love the quality.I use this for several things, ironically not pastries. I use it to mash avocados, for mashed potatoes, for hard boiled eggs for egg salad sandwiches. And I usually hand wash it. It’s been great and I liked that I could choose a colour to coordinate with my other kitchen accessories.main reason for buying was for when i make biscuits. so much easier than trying to cut in the shortening with a fork.El mango está muy cómodo para trabajar las masas. Y el tamaño está idealThis pastry blender will save you time. Solid and sharpe.My daughter and I used this last night to make peanut butter cookies. Works really well and the handle was comfortable. Love the blue too!
