Is it good to mash bananas?

I would assume it would be but I have never used it for that! Sorry don't have a better answer.

I've never considered using it for that; I think I'd rather mash them with a fork or put them into a blender. A food mill is more suited to squeezing pulp and juices out of fruits and vegetables (such as cooked apples or tomatoes) while retaining the peel and seeds.

we haven't used it for bananas, but my husband has used ours very successfully to rice boiled potatoes for gnocchi. i'd think it could handle reasonably ripe bananas no problem.

I drink it with water or sometimes work in a mashed banana. It's OK with water but not great. I just down it then wash my mouth out to get rid of the taste it inevitably leaves. Remember - it's protein and just plain isn't going to taste that good. Hope that helps.

Wow...I don't know! I'd live to know the answer tho, if someone does. It'd be great to not take up all that room in the 'fridge and still have excellent bananas all week. Seems to me tho, the cold is probably necessary? Pls let me know if you get a definitive answer!

I always have it with some non-dairy milk & fruit. It's sweet, though, so you don't need a lot of sweet fruit. Bananas work well.

Don't be silly. Obviously if you use it on a metric banana, it will produce metric slices.

This works great for smashing soft fruits and vegetables. I use it for mashing things that baby is going to be eating right away. I prefer using an electric processor when making larger amounts of purees to freeze. This essentially works like a potato masher and leaves some larger chunks.

Yes John, the machine works best with yuca or cassava - the green bananas are a bit tricky and have had mixed reviews.

Yes. It makes pretty good catsup. You can use your favorite recipe. Just cut in half.

Yes. It easily mixes with water, milk, formula And breast milk. It doesnt taste appealing so i mash a banana and mix it with it to get my son to eat it v

It will mash very ripe peaches somewhat. Not a problem if you're breaking down peaches for cooking, but it can make a messy situation if you're just breaking them down for a snack.

I love this mixer. It is very convenient but I have have never tried to puree a banana.

Not sure how well this would work for cooked beans. It should work very well. I use it to mash fruit for making wine. I have mashed bananas for wine and it worked very well.

No, i have not used bananas. I usually use frozen frozen fruit with sugar-free fat-free vanilla yogurt. The yogurt makes the texture to be smooth and creamy. I evenly mix the frozen fruit with yogurt and Splenda first before adding the ingredients down in the the shoot.

My son is 6.5 mths old and I use it everyday to mash up fresh foods such as bananas or avocado. I'm sure it would work well on cooked foods as well. The bowl is small though so if you're looking to make one meal at a time, it would be fine but making larger quantities to freeze or store might be tedious and time consuming.

I can't answer the question because mine is sitting in a drawer--it didn't work. In fact it caused my bananas to ripen faster and get spots

I know the flavor is not that good but the results are worth it. When I was making the shake, I used one banana or 1/2 plus other fruit. I also used cantelope, pineapple or kiwi. This helped improve the taste.
