Well it mixed the flour and didn’t break like the flimsy light weight ones

i hope to get a few uses from this before I'm able to find a better one. I received it today, and the first thing I noticed was the blades were all bent to the side, so i'm trying to straighten them. if this is stainless, it's a very poor quality and seems very flimsy. also, it's scratched in a few places. the reviewer who said this was a cheap dollar store item probably wasn't far off. I've made sure the screws are both tight so the handle, hopefully, won't spin. I don't plan to try to chop any veggies with it (have other tools for that) ... will just be cutting cold butter into flour, and it might be good enough for that. anyway, the blades are blunt, not sharp. if the blades hadn't all been bent, I might have given it a higher rating or at least waited until after I used it the first time. from what I've read in reviews of this and other pastry blenders, it doesn't seem to matter how much money you spend on them, as they are mostly all pretty poor quality nowadays. if it turns out that this one works better than I think, i'll return and give it a little higher rating. I still can't believe ALL the blades were bent when I took it out of the mailing envelope! :( hopefully, cold butter won't be too difficult a task for it.UPDATE 11/04/14: decided to change to 4 stars ... used the cutter/blender, since I straightened the blades, and it appears to be working properly. one blade appears to be a little shorter than the others but doesn't seem to effect the blending ability.

The only complaint I have on this pastry blender is the handle. It moves. I tried to tighten the screws on each side which helped the first time to keep it steady but now it just moves all the time. The handle isn't sturdy and moves in my hand while I'm blending up my ingredients. The base of it is great and works very well it's just the handle that I have the issue with.

When I moved I must have lost my pastry blender. It was one of my favorite tools. I used it for chopping strawberries, mixing meatloaf, chopping candies for desserts. When I went to replace it I was stunned by the prices of many similar ones and the weakness of some others. This one was perfect. It will probably last twenty years. I was thrilled with the quality.

But no....This is so handy for chopping so many things. The blades are sharper and sturdier than I thought they would be. The handle is comfortable and easy to hold. I steam vegetables and use this to gently chop them into smaller pieces for soup. I chop/mash beans after cooking them in my slow cooker, to make a bean dip. No, it doesn't cut raw veggies unless they're relatively soft like broccoli, but not carrotts. It does chop/cut soft fruits for fruit salad, including skinless apples. Hard boiled eggs chop nicely too. I really didn't like those "handy choppers", they were too hard to clean and their bowls were too small. I use a wooden cutting board and can now chop almost anything. OK, so I make biscuits once a year for Thanksgiving and need this to blend the butter into the flour. Yes, works terrifric for that too!

This is something I grew up with. My daughter started baking and complained how tough it was using a fork to blend her ingredients so I simply looked for the best blender I could find. The handle on this and the spread make it a comfortable utensil a and cuts down her energy usage by half. Even if you don't use it much, it is a great thing to have on hand because those times you really need it you will bless your forethought.

I like this a lot and use it frequently for pie crusts and making topping for fruit crumbles. It's not the sturdiest thing I have used but I have had no issues with the handle like others have. It is more then adequate for day to day uses. Overall am very satisfied with it. It does a good job of mixing butter with flour turning it into "pebbles" in a shirt time.

Cooking is my hobby; while I don't get to really cook as often as I'd like, when I do I want to use the best ingredients and tools that I can afford on a grad student budget.Pies are one of my specialties, and until this week I'd used the old two-knife method for cutting shortening and butter into the flour crust mixture. Having been asked to make all the pies for a massive Thanksgiving dinner, I decided to splurge and purchase this pastry blender. I had one in the past, but it was incredibly cheap; the thing got so bent up after two or three uses that it had to be chucked. I have not, however, been disappointed in this blender. I "christened" it with a triple batch of pie dough this morning, and was extremely pleased with the comfortable handle and the sharp blades. Five stars! I'd definitely buy it again, though I don't anticipate having to do so for quite some time.
