While visiting my grandmother in France, I noticed something unusual in her kitchen. It was a heavy, cast-iron device with a curved handle and a small mesh screen at the bottom. I stared at it for a while, confused about its purpose.
“Grandma, what’s this?” I asked, turning the strange object in my hands.
“Oh, that’s my old mashed potato masher,” she smiled.
I didn’t think much of it at the time, but later I saw her expertly peel and boil a potato. Then she placed it in the device, turned the handle, and perfectly smooth, fluffy mashed potatoes came out onto the plate.
I was stunned. All my life, I believed mashed potatoes could only be made with a regular masher or a blender. But this method was something else – no lumps, light, and fluffy – completely different from what I was used to!
Curious, I looked it up and discovered that this kind of machine is quite popular, especially for those who enjoy traditional cooking methods.
These machines are commonly used to make baby food, sauces, puree soups, and mashed potatoes.
Unlike blenders, which chop food with blades, these machines push food through a mesh, creating a smoother, airier consistency.
Now I’m certain of one thing: for the best mashed potatoes, I’ll trust my grandmother’s secret!
