The Pampered Chef Pastry Blender

I like this pastry blender because it is all stainless steel. It doesn't absorb and is easily washed.

It doesn't have a comfort grip handle but that's okay with me because I don't use it so long that I'd need that.

I'm very happy with my purchase.

I highly recommend this product.

While I've been happy with other Pampered Chef products, there are better pastry blenders out there.

The problem with this one is the tine blades bend, so it's hard to cut butter mixtures into fine pieces.

The stainless steel is nice, there have been no problems with rusting, although the handle isn't particularly comfortable to use (and I have small hands).

Long ago I owned another garage-sale pastry blender that didn't have this problem. Unfortunately, the red paint on the old wooden handle flaked off so I got rid of it. Wish I would have sanded down the handle and kept it now!

Pampered Chef needs to work on this design. Their products aren't inexpensive so it makes me think twice about buying other products from the company, especially since it seems it would be a hassle to try to return anything. That's unfortunate, because I'm sure the people who count on income from Pampered Chef are having a hard enough time booking parties in the current economy.

Buy The Pampered Chef Pastry Blender Now

I am on my second pastry blender, the first one broke within one month of purchase. Yes it is guaranteed but when you have to send it back to the company at your expense which costs almost the price of the article to start with this defeats the purpose of the guarantee. Yes they sent me another and it is also broke. I don't think I will return it as there are a lot better pastry blenders out there. I will say that I thought it did a decent job when it wasn't broke. The one I buy at garage sales for 25 cents do just as good a job and will last 5 to 10 years. I will not be purchasing anything else from Pampered Chef as I see there guarantee as useless, if the price of the article was reasonable to start with then that would make a difference.

Purchased this Pampered Chef Pastry Blender, and it was just what the advertisement said it was, was delivered in a reasonable time, and at a reasonable cost.

Want The Pampered Chef Pastry Blender Discount?

I was excited to find this item second-hand, because I was starting to make my own pies, and wanted an easier way (than a fork) to blend butter and flour together. Anyone that makes pie crust knows that all the recipes call for using cold (very cold) butter. This pastry blender will not cut through cold butter without bending. Also, the round handle rolls when you press on it, making it hard to push straight down. Pampered Chef must have known about this, as they added a little tab to keep the handle from rolling, but the slot pushes away from the tab when the metal bends (when cutting cold butter). Even when the handle stays in place, it is ROUND METAL, so of course it will easily slide in your hand, especially if you have butter on them! Overall, this is a very poorly designed product!

I thought I had found such a deal, but this is no deal if it is this frustrating to use. Back to using my fork and my fingers, until I can get the other one on order (my next one will be the highly-rated Oxo Good Grips Dough Blender with Blades).

Also, unlike other reviewers, I have never been impressed with Pampered Chef's quality. My knives rust and have jagged edges (poor quality steel, I imagine), and the finish is coming off my garlic press INTO my pressed garlic (and I paid full price for those items). None of this stuff seems worth the money. OXO on the other hand has never disappointed yet.
