This stainless steel pastry blender is ideal for making pastry dough for crispy pie crusts and delicate biscuits. It is used to mix butter and flour - without melting the butter with the heat of your hands. The pastry blender ensures that the fat is evenly distributed in small pieces throughout the flour, which is important for achieving a crispy texture. Wash with hot water and soap before first use. Suitable for dishwasher. Wash at low temperature.
