Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Trudeau Nonstick Dough Blender
Customer Review: Functional, Comfortable, Fabulous!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this dough blender! I had for years been itching to buy a dough blender and had decided that the wire-types (like OXO's) would be too flimsy for me. Many of the others I had looked at seemed uncomfortable or awkward to hold and use for long periods of time. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into when I bought this product, but I'm glad I did make the purchase.
I use my dough blender mostly to chop in chilled/frozen butter to make pie crusts. It's easy, speedy, and effective. I can obtain a smooth and consistent "breadcrumb" texture in a matter of minutes.
Very sturdy construction, thick metal doesn't fold or shift under pressure. The handle is very comfortable, shock absorbent, non-slip rubber, comfortably sized for one hand. The blender itself fits into a medium bowl and its curvature assists with the blending process. Because the blades/tines have some height (vs. wire tines), you will get bits and pieces stuck on them, but it's really easy to stick a finger or a sponge in between the tines and clean them out. Clean up is super easy. I was very pleased with this purchase.

Description of Trudeau Nonstick Dough Blender
Non-Stick Dough Blender, soft ergonomic horizontal handle, superior durability, high-heat resistance, easy-to-clean convenience.This lightweight and easy-to-clean dough cutter is the tool of choice for making delicate piecrusts, biscuits, and pastries from scratch. Unlike an expensive food processor, it won't over-blend the ingredients, and it's much easier on your hands than using knives or forks. Simply rock the five gently curved blades back and forth over the fat and flour; they'll cut them together in a fraction of the time of the two-knife technique. Because the blades are nonstick, they clean up easily in the dishwasher and won't clog or adhere to the butter or shortening. Durable, dishwasher-safe, and heat-resistant, this sleekly designed dough blender features an ergonomic rubberized handle and is comfortably balanced in the hand. Equally convenient for chopping nuts, dried fruits, and chocolate, it measures 5-1/2 by 4-3/4 by 1-3/4 and is covered by a five-year warranty. --Mary Park
