This is a tool that we use when mashing food. We have to be careful not to hurt hands when using this tool. Proper way of using this tool would be holding the edge of the tool when washing food.  If someone did not have this item in their kitchen, they could use a spoon instead to mash it. I made a mash potato by using this tool. I shared this food with my brother. I followed a recipe that my mom uses. If I were to make this dish again, I would add more seasoning to mash potato. Since it wasn’t a hard recipe to follow, there weren’t any challenges to overcome. The final product was my greatest success in this dish. I was proud of making this food for my brother.
