Traditional potato masher WMF 1871696030

The WMF 1871696030 traditional potato masher is a stainless steel kitchen tool designed for efficient mashing of potatoes and other soft vegetables. At 290 mm in length, it provides a comfortable grip and a round mashing surface that reaches close to pan edges for thorough puréeing. Constructed from durable stainless steel and finished with a polished appearance, this masher integrates with the Profi Plus series of matching utensils and is suitable for home and professional kitchens.

Advantages

The solid stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and stability during repeated use, while the 290 mm length balances leverage and control for comfortable mashing. The round mashing plate is shaped to access small potatoes and the pan edge, enabling smoother, more even purées and soups. The polished finish and compact design make the tool simple to clean and visually consistent with other Profi Plus utensils.

How to use

Use the masher on cooked, softened ingredients placed in a saucepan or bowl.
