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.

This is great for mashed potatoes, but I think the disc system of the cutters is difficult to use. I have never used it for egg salad, but think the whites would not cut through well. I have not used the food mill. If you have arthritis and turning, gripping, etc. is difficult. You may be better off going "old school" and using a potato masher (the kind on a stick handle, or an electric mixer) and egg slicer. That is what I use. I purchased this ricer to make lefse, where the potato is made into a bread dough, so must be silky smooth

My mixer makes superb mashed potatoes. It whips them to a perfect consistency.

There seems to be no problem of sticking. If I load too many/much potato it get messy, But my wife lets me rice potatoes for our family dinners. They are very fluffy without that beat up feel from a mixer.

If you mean the whisk attachment, I am certain the whisk would NOT work for potatoes, nor would any other whisk. Whisks are for incorporating (fluffing) air into things, such as whipping cream or mixing two liquid type things together. Potatoes are firm and need to be mashed or riced. The immersion blender itself, is powerful. I can hardly believe how quickly it smoothed out every thing I've tried thus far. My favorite part is how extremely easy it is to clean up afterwards.

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 have been using mine for everything. from hamburger helper to instant mashed potatoes. I havent had any problems. just make sure you wash it good first before using it (like the directions says).

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

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

I've never used this for potatoes but I am guessing because of the starches in potatoes that is why you are getting the gooey consistency, especially if you are doing it whole it is still warm/hot. Potatoes can be kind of delicate and get like that when they are over mashed. I can see this being amazing for mashing cauliflower though :)

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...

Depends on how he will be using it, or should I say with what equipment he will be using it with. The biggest concern is Phantom power. Many mixing consoles have this built in, but it will not work without it.

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.

Sure, it will work great. You could add a tbls of milk too to make potatoes looser. If it were me I would mix the milk and cream powder before adding to potatoes so you don't overmix the potatoes. Overmixing would be a big mistake and a common one.

I haven't personally done it, but I believe so. I used it when I was in a hurry once and made mashed/whipped potatoes. It was actually faster than using the regular beaters.

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!

Powder makes "whipped butter". Worked great as butter on mashed potatoes, etc. Not so good for frying pan - found foods stuck, although this was camp stove cooking. Good to add butter flavor where ever you need it.
