All you Luddites out there will appreciate the vintage-style petite masher from Sur La Table's Things Cooks Love collection. I never thought I'd say this about a kitchen utensil, but this wood-handled tool, made by artisans in Massachusetts, is rather beautiful. It works better than a fork for mashing small amounts of food, like berries and peas, and it's perfect for making guacamole. It can also be used to soften butter and blend pastry dough.
