Abstract
A pastry blender or cooked fruit and vegetable masher has a base portion, a side portion and a handle member and is such that the handle is separated from the base portion. The base portion includes an edge frame member that preferably is in the form of a continuous closed loop. The base portion further includes a plurality of cutter wire members which extend between opposed portions of the edge frame member. The cutter wire members preferably have a cross-sectional profile that includes a generally triangularly shaped first region that tapers from a wide portion to an apex; and a second region that preferably is angled or arcuately sloped to encourage foodstuffs to slide off the second region. The cutter wire members are positioned in spaced parallel relation one to another and are rigidly secured to the edge frame member. The spacing between the cutter wire members is at least five times the greatest horizontal width of any one cutter wire member.
