KitchenAid Gourmet Stainless Steel Wire Masher
A sturdy, dishwasher safe wire masher for big batches, less handy for small soft foods.
The short version
- Cooks who make big pots of mashed potatoes for holidays and family dinners
- Anyone who wants a dishwasher safe masher with a long warranty
- You mostly mash small amounts, like one avocado or banana
- You want perfectly smooth, lump free potatoes
What owners like
- Handles large batches of potatoes quickly
- Comfortable grip on the handle
- Curved head scoops along the pot's edge
- Easy cleanup in the dishwasher
Common complaints
- Too big for small, soft jobs like mashing a banana
- A wire masher leaves more texture than a ricer
Based on Food Network's hands-on potato masher test, where it was named best classic masher, plus the maker's description on retailer listings and the Amazon listing..

What it does
A 10 inch hand masher with a zigzag stainless steel wire head, covered here in black because the Beetroot color could not be confirmed as currently sold.
- Thick 4.5 mm wire head that the maker says will not rust
- Curved zigzag base helps reach the edges of a round pot
- Handle shaped for comfort under heavy use
- Dishwasher safe
- Sold in several colors, including black and Aqua Sky
A solid pick for big batches of mashed potatoes, root vegetables and avocado, with a thick wire head and a dishwasher safe build backed by a lifetime limited warranty. The trade-off is that the wide head is clumsy for small or soft jobs like a single banana, and a ricer gives smoother potatoes if that is the goal.
