Machacadora | Wooden Bean Masher

Introducing the perfect kitchen tool for refining your refried beans (and simplifying sauerkraut preparation.)

This Michoacan-made machacadora is crafted from granadillo wood, unique to the region, offering durability unlike ordinary pine options.

Rancho Gordo recommends this method for irresistible refried beans: Sauté onions in lard, bacon fat, or olive oil, then add beans and their broth. Use the machacadora to blend to your desired texture.

This versatile tool also excels at mashing sauerkraut effortlessly.

Note that the machacadoras have a honey wax finish that evolves with use, and they're handmade, so each one is unique.
