Love Curtis Stone Gadget!!

The one that is for breaking up ground beef when cooking or on the other end, you can mash up things like egg salad or potatoes.

Make fast and easy job of your ground meat cooking with no strain on your wrist with this great gadget. I was So Sure I did NOT need it.

After reading on here from another poster, I got it, and so happy I did!!!!

I agree. I have his set of cookware and many of the gadgets. I love this masher because I have arthritis and it does a great job of breaking up the meat. Also the handle covers for your fry pans. The only problem I have is the baking sheets. I have used the big ones and had no problem but the smaller version have scratched. I returned and received new ones and now the small one scratched again. He says you can use metal utensils and I usually don't. But, this last cookie batch, after using his spatula the pan scratched. Oh well. But his cookware is wonderful.

@Monketoes I also have his countertop lid holder I keep on my stove #337-110, works great. When you need to take the lid off a pan it sits on the holder and also catches any liquids.

As a gadget gal I found that thing interesting.....

Chop on one end & mash on the other.

I had that thing and although it's a great idea and works well, I found it would move all over the stove and eventually end up touching the flame and it got partially melted! So I had to toss it for fear of burning down my kitchen. The meat masher thing looks good but I just use a potato masher.

That thing looks interesting, but every time I look at it I envision pressing down on the blade end with my open palm to mash something with the perforated end. Seems as if it would hurt. Do you use the mashing end, and if you do, can you apply serious pressure without pressing down on the blade end? How does that work?

Over priced.

I bought a similar tool at a cooks outlet store for $1.99.

Hi there! No, not at all...does NOT hurt in the least!

I ordered a cheaper one at Amazon. Will see if it does the job. I did not need the masher side.

I already have the Tfal Potato masher that is the same as this....I own 2 mashers for beef, and such that I bought from BB&B, and one is the original masher, that works wonderful, but now they have another that has a soft handle that I go to first, as with my muscle disease, works better for me than my wooden utinsels for breaking up my ground beef, and for not "mashing" potatoes, but making smashed potatoes, with the skins still on....Cost less than $10.00. I have found that I have fallen in love with the dough hooks on my KitchenAid hand/stand mixer for mixing a lot of every day items that you would mix by hand, including dips, meatloaf, pimento cheese, and such items...And, by hand, I mean by "hand", or hand mixing....There is a difference....

Thanks, that's good to know. I'll put it on my list of things to check on come the 30th. They often do extra-special pricing on the day of his TS, and this one is an anniversary. We'll see.

Whoohooo @Monketoes! Glad to hear it works well. Keep up the great work....I seem to remember when you were not quite confident in cooking all kinds of different things and now here you are! Love it!!!! I might just be making a road trip down to sample some of your delicious cooking.

And in the meantime, I might just have to get one of these tools. I use so much ground beef during the winter between chili, sloppy joes, etc. I think this would be worth it.

Re: Love Curtis Stone Gadget!!

I have one. I like the side for breaking up ground beef. But if you use the masher it is uncomfortable on your hand pushing down on the other end to answer a previously asked question.

He's on HSN all day Sat. Haven't seen Wolfgang in awhile. Maybe

PittyD, LOL! OMG...I could not cook Jack Chit, LOL. You were also a great Cheerleader for me too. If not for a few of y'all @The House we

would still be eating out all the time or take out.

I bought this to have for exactly what you are thinking! Get it. I

can't believe how quick and easy it makes it. I really dont use the

mashing end but it works well when Curtis Stone does.

He's so cute, too

Love you forever Honey Bun

I think I know the one you mean, and I wanted it too, until I read a review that said its made in three parts and the buyer's broke apart. I thought it was piece.
