Mrs. Anderson’s Baking Pastry Dough Blender, Stainless Steel, 5-Blade Design

I see a lot of the old-timers and professionals on cooking shows using their hands to process butter or shortening with flour to make pastry. Not me...I don't seem to have the technique down, and the warmth from my hands seems to break down the fat. Using a metal pastry blender like this one keeps that warmth out, allowing me to cut down the cold butter/shortening and flour into the desired crumb size while not overworking. Being stainless, this item also washes up very nicely in the dishwasher, an added bonus. Love it!

I wore my old pastery blender out. So, I was looking for a new one. I reviewed many products and was looking for one that didn't cut into my hand as I was using it. I also wanted one that was durable, and dishwasher safe. This product meets all of the criteria that I was seeking to fill. It does a great job, with ease and comfort. I love that it is stainless steel also. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Replaced my old blender. This one is more durable. Made shortbread the other day but was not one of my best, but it could have been my mood.

Blades bend all over while blending ingredients. Besides the metal handle, the tool is flimsy and cheap.

My mother always used one and I wanted to make biscuits so I ordered it. Easy to use and rinse well and put it in the dishwasher

Love this pastry blender. Searched all over for one. Thank you, Amazon. Does a great job on pie crust dough.

For the price, I guess I shouldn't expect more from this. The only thing I can compare this to is my grandmother's AMAZING carbon-steel pastry blender (it got lost after her death, though... *sigh*), which could cut through frozen butter and not bend or break. The handle is wide, so it doesn't dig into your palm. Most of the little grooves and spaces around the handle are tight--where they exist--so this isn't a pain to clean. My main complaint is that this just isn't strong enough to handle well-chilled butter without bending the tines. It wasn't too bad, but I had to bend them back into place for the next round.

Works great

as described.

Fuerte resiste la presión de la mano, para integrar mantequilla fría a la harina para bisquets, no se calienta la mantequilla, muy rápido

This was a gift. Like the one I’ve had for years. Slats are much better than wires.

Given the price, they're not super heavy duty like old fashioned ones, but they work as well as one can expect. I used to hate making pie crust because I don't have a food processor, so I usually used a plastic scraper to cut the butter into the flour. So much easier now.

Genial en calidad y precio muy buen producto
