Pasta nights just become much easier with this handy tool.
Promising review: "Okay, I've seen this type of product being used online in many cooking videos and demos. So, I decided to get one to try it out. It took a little getting used to, but once I did, I was able to easily break up my ground meat, which made it cook faster. I love it! I wish this meat masher had been introduced years ago when my kids were still at home. It would have made dinners even quicker. It's also easy to clean because it's dishwasher safe as well. As far as storing it, it's no wider than most ladles, pancake turners, or other large cooking utensils. So if you're able to store your utensils in the drawer, this would fit just the same."—Ruby S
