Mrs. Anderson's Pastry Blender is a professional-quality must-have of pastry tools designed for home bakers, pastry chefs and professional chefs. It's a great addition to baking tools for mixing cooking and baking ingredients and tackling tasks that require more muscle, like blending thicker batters and heavier doughs. The sturdy, flat blades quickly cut in firmer ingredients, like butter, shortening, and cream cheese, breaking them into smaller pieces while blending wet and dry ingredients evenly throughout the dough for a better taste and consistency.
