Would this be suitable for mashing strawberries?

I personally don't think it's great for strawberries. I just did a test. My strawberries were not softened in any way, just got them out of the fridge. But the masher's metal pieces are pretty thick and wide apart. My strawberries never got fully mashed and pieces kept sticking in between the metal. Not sure if you're softening the berries first. But even if you did, I don't think this masher will finely mash berries. Someone else may have had success doing so, but I'd stick with just potatoes for this masher.

While I haven't tried this on on anything other than boiled potatoes, my feeling is that this would not work very well to mash fresh strawberries. It's round edges would probably just slip around the chunks of strawberry. I think you would have more success using the "grid" type of masher.

Yes. I use it to make smoothies. It makes short work of frozen strawberries and frozen bananas as well.

Absolutely. I've used it to blend hot gravy straight from the oven roaster. cooked veggies and all.

It is very fine mesh and would probably work well... I use it for all kinds of things from straining tea to cleaningberries etc... very pleased with it...

Well, if you're looking for something that will equal an electric mixer or one of those battery-operated milk frothers, this won't be good for that. I still have mine and I love it. I use it at least once or twice a week to scramble eggs or mix up canned tomato soup, stuff like that...anything that requires mixing via a whisk. There's no real technique other than not being heavy-handed -if this is shoved up and down too hard it's going to break or cause a lot of fatigue. I've found it's good for small pans or mixing in a smaller mixing/cereal bowl without a lot of splashing around. Hope that helps.

I looked at the metal drive from underneath and it looks identical. It should work, howver this blade is justna mixer. It will not cut strawberries or even bananas. It wont crush ice either. Just for milk, ice cream, powder shakes and anything that doesnt need to break down. So know that its limited to just mixing. I dont use it much since I like to add fruits and ice. Wish you well.

I have used this product in the garden on pepper plants and was extremely pleased with the results. There should be no problem using one on each strawberry plant.Big Jim

I would think so. I use mine to cut out piecrust dough and they are good with that. I guess it depends on what type of fruit and how firm it will be.

I think it would just fine, if the strawberries are nice and ripe. I think I has issues with the mushrooms because they were firm and spongy, if that makes sense!!

yes, it is good for all kinds of batters, especially since it has the handle and a non-skid ring on the bottom that prevents it from sliding on the counter top. Good for biscuit mixing since you don't want it to be mixed too smoothly.

YES! We use it to mash and blend ingredients for guacamole all the time. Much easier to control the texture with this than to use a blender. Easier to clean too.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife.It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

Hi Terri. Though I have not tried it with strawberries, I believe it definitely would as I use it to strain coffee grounds and it works just fine with that.

It will work on leafy greens with something heavy behind it, like a carrot or something other wise you'll have more green in the grinder. It will juice them though so far I'm satisfied with the product, expected a little bit more from it but it's OK. Only complaint frozen strawberries didn't work very well, there was juice but I had to take the machine apart and clean it. It's excellent for the price range though.

Yes, it's probably big enough for a quart of strawberries. We use ours everyday.

There is a baby food strainer for food processers. I have used it for strawberries.

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.
