A potato masher can crush fruit or other ingredients to the texture specified by a tested recipe.
What to look for
Avoid over-puréeing unless the process specifically permits it.
Product options
OXO Good Grips stainless-steel smooth potato masher
A sturdy, comfortable option for crushing cooked fruit or vegetables when a tested recipe specifically calls for mashing. Mash only to the texture directed by the recipe; changing particle size can alter heat penetration and is not a substitute for a tested process.

Safe-use reminder
Equipment does not make an untested recipe safe. Use a current authoritative home-canning process that specifies the food, preparation, jar size, canner type, time or pressure, and altitude adjustment. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s current instructions.
