Its two-piece design is made of stainless steel and nylon and can be easily disassembled and cleaned: The Helix series includes a garlic press, potato masher and citrus juicer. Product Features Innovative twisting movement makes it easier to crush. Ideal for creating smooth mashed potatoes and vegetable puree. Durable stainless steel and nylon construction.
