can I mash potatoes in it with electric mixmaster and not harm surface?

I read all the literature that comes with it and all I CAN FIND IS NOT TO USE ABRASIVE CLRANER. I DON'T THINK I WOULD CHANCE IT OR GO TO

I would recommend you use a plastic potato masher rather than the electric mixmaster. Otherwise, I believe you could potentially harm the surface.

Never tried baking potatoes in it but I guess you could. The dials could be confusing for toasting or baking but I haven't found any other units that are better for this price range.

Absolutely... I would recommend mixing it with the hot water before adding it to the casserole so that you don't get lumps..I usually buy the potatoes au gratin box (any brand) as the "base", then I slice up potatoes that I have pre-cooked (at least partially) and add a bit of additional milk to cover all of the potatoes... as an extra flavor I sometimes add cut up brocolli florets and sometimes cut up red, green, yellow and orange bell peppers and of course onions too... YUM...

Abolutely. I use them all the time for making cookies and mashed potatoes, both using a hand mixer.

I would not recommend this product for potatoes. I would suggest a mandolin

Really not the use this is intended for - you'd have to be pretty strong to mash those down. It's really for kitchen and household use, and for that it does a good job.

I used it with potato's too ... And potatoes are usually misshapen anyway. And I was pleased with the results.

This pot is actually quite small for that task. It could be used for cooking potatoes, but boiling water in cast iron tends to rust them. If you are single you might have enough room to do your potatoes and mash them in the pot though. AND if you rinse and oil it after you are finished cooking with it, it should be okay, but a larger stainless steel pot might serve you better here. I love cast iron, but somethings aren't ideal in them. (IE: tomatoes takes the finish off)

I haven't tried that. I suppose you could if the potatoes were extremely done, maybe overcooked.

I have just started using it myself. Heats up leftovers well and quickly. I'm not sur how it would do with a potatoe. Might be best to micro those.

I think it might be a little small for mashed potato packets. I use it for gravy packages and powdered soup mix, dip mixes, etc. If there is a size up from this one, you might do a little better. You could probably fit one or two larger packets of mashed potatoes, but that would probably be it.

I combined it with molasses and it worked well. I also used a bowl mixer due to the volume I used. It is too thick for a beater mixer.

The top of mine has cracked. Not much and I filled it with glue and made it flat and even. So I would say no do not use it for a mixer. It is a lot of extra space for pots and pans etc.

I just used it to make mayo. I mixed it in the plastic cup that came with it, and placed the mixer flat against the bottom. I just checked, and there were no scratch marks on the bottom. My guess is if it doesn't scratch plastic you'll be safe. Hope this helps!

No. Use a coarser grater for a potato. This is very fine and good for tasks like zesting lemon and orange peel, and grating ginger.

I wouldn't buy this specifically for that purpose. i suppose you could make Potatoes au Gratin in this, but I would suggest a baking dish, such as a pyrex or a ceramic baking dish.

Absolutely ! Works great right out of the box - I was so excited to make potato pancakes that I didn't even think to wash the grater parts.Simple stated this is a great machine and well worth the investment.
