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.

I do not think that a mixer would damage the bowls because of their durability. However, the bowls are flexible which means you wouldn't be able to easily mix things in them with an electric mixer because you wouldn't have a firm surface to beat against.

Re Moe&Company; response, YES, that is exactly right! I have some very expensive pots that have been damaged with beaters! Now, I cook my potatoes in one of my stainless steel pots, so I can mash them in it with no problem!

yes, I use it for mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc. A great stirring spoon while cooking too.

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...

I don't have this particular model, however I add butter to drained potatoes, and use a hand masher for the first step. I then move to the blending attachment to break up into smaller pieces. I then the add the milk, salt & pepper and move to the whip attachment. They are amazing, smooth and light. My blender attachment finally broke after years of use and I made without the blending step. Ugh... buying a new hand blender today!!

You probably don't want to try this to crush ice. You can use it for soft, cooked potatoes to make mashed potatoes.

I have used an immersion handheld mixer with no scratching that I noticed, but I'm pretty sure a regular beater mixer would leave some utensil markings.

I wouldn't but you could mix something thin like chocolate milk. We have only mixed little blocks, puff balls, paper pieces, etc. I don't want to get anything sweet up into the motor section of the mixer.

Yes. Just make sure you recipe doesn't have ingredients that timers shouldn't be used with.

I have not actually used the beater this way, but the attachments are secure when I use them for anything else. I think it would work well to make your sauce.

Either plate would work for mashed potatoes. The plate with the smallest holes would make smoother and creamier potatoes.

The flat 3 blade beater will whip mashed potatoes,but they will still be lumpy. Better to get whisk, that is my suguestion.

It does a great job in mashing potatoes. If you are only making a small amount a hand mixer would do just fine.

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

NO! I liked it for potatoes, you have to add a little water to it which softens the peel. I loved it but extremely noisy.. I can't peel anything anymore so this was good so Long as I uses it before anyone got home. It broke apart after a few months use due to overly large potatoes. The washers bent and broke apart inside the machine.

Yes it could but increase some liquid. I use the water the potatoes cooked in. I add the liquid to the powdered cream and mix well then add to the potatoes.
