Some people prefer to use hand powered mashers to conserve power. Others claim they're useless and only get in the way. Any opinions?

Dave in PA:I personally have power beaters made by Black and Decker. It has a 'Turbo' button and I think the same electric motor as my small drill. The longer than normal cord is permanantly attached by the manufacturer. It can be an entanglement hazard, but I just route the cord around the canisters and to the right of the mixing bowl since I am right handed. This leaves my left hand available to grip the bowl and rotate it. Positive control of the bowl is important, especially when you begin to beat the potatoes. IF you are going to use the beater for something else in the same meal, a back up set of blades should be ready to go where you can easily reach them with your left hand.
Lil' Irish Temper:Dave,
I don't know who your certification agency was, but the one I went to PADI (Potato And Dairy Instructors) IS the foremost experts in the industry.
Are you TRYING to put someone in harms way ?
crpntr133:So is anyone here a DM? (Dairy Master)
