| Masha |
If you have ever tried to achieved mashed potato in a food processor you will know the gluey mess that results. This new product is different. It actually creates, smooth and fluffy mashed potato super quickly. Instead of blades, it uses a Rotor cone (see picture below) to spin and squeeze the mash through the outer mesh.
So far I have tried it on mashed potato and the white bean mash (see recipe below) and it has worked really well. It is also able to puree baby food, make dips, and rub butter into flour (I can't wait to try this with scones!).
So far the things I love about the Masha are:
- It makes mashed potato quickly.
- It is easy to assemble and to clean (no more trying to clean the strainer).
- It can go in the dishwasher.
- No blades so it is safe.
- It feels well made and not like it will break after a few uses.
- It doesn't just make mashed potato.
The only thing that I found difficult about the Masha is that it seems to work best with larger quantities. When I first tried it out with mashed potato I had to chase it around the pan a bit. Otherwise it is a great product and I am looking forward to using it for lots of other recipes.
Here is one that I created with Cannellini beans as a really easy and quick side dish.
White Bean Mash
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 clove garlic (crushed)
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 can of (cannellini ) white beans
salt (to taste)
1.Put the olive oil in a saucepan, and mix in the garlic. Add the the lemon zest and warm through.
2.Drain the beans and rinse under a tap, then add to the pan and warm through.
3.Remove from heat and allow the pan to cool slightly.
4.Using the Masher, mash the beans until they are the consistency of mash potato (although it will be thicker).
5.Season and add extra lemon juice to taste.
Masha is available online for $59.95
