Just saw one of these on a video in my feed and was thinking how I may just need one. More uses than just beef.

Frickin’ unitasker.
All you need is a potato masher.

I think I just read My First Ammosexual Breakfast Manual. Wait, it’s for already ground beef…perhaps it is for keeping OG Kosher in a place where sunny day flooding prevents anything being buried a full year? Hazing Apple Products (which need a tri-wing paddle?) So many options I hadn’t considered.

The OXO Ground Beef Chopper is part of our daily family ritual
I think I might have been watching too many, “Ask a Mortician” videos with Caitlin Doughty. I misread the headline as, “The OXO Ground Beef Chopper is part of our daily funeral ritual”.

Yes, I have a potato ricer…doesn’t work with meat as well. I had trouble on prior recipe where I had to mash up a bunch of pork meat. This seems to be better.
For potatoes, my ricer works just fine though.

Yes! I will likely never buy any of these products, but I would buy that book. If it were illustrated, graphic novel style.

We eat a lot of hamburger helper and own one of those. It’s not OXO but it is the same.
My wife loves it because it’s easy to hold with her arthritis.
While we’re on the subject of ground beef, the secret to good nachos is twice ground ground beef. We use one of those hand grinder things after the meat is seasoned. It creates a real fine ground beef just like that authentic Taco place with the big bell.

@frauenfelder is gloriously deep into his sendup of J. Peterman Seinfeld character. I say… bring it on!
Again, I should have looked two inches higher before posting. The sordid, sad story of a life riddled with the anxiety of having to expend energy, when doing so would have rewarded me with knowledge… but the thought of an OXO Ground Beef Chopper fills me with courage; my next attempt at Sauce Bolognese will be a success.

A pastry cutter is best for this sort of chopping function, too. Seems to me a potato masher light make some too fine ground beef. Too close to Taco Bell’s “meat”. And I like Taco Bell!

Not if one’s intent is to break up ground beef into smaller bits while it’s cooking up in a non-stick pan. I’ve always used a non-stick pan safe spatula for that, but – being single-blade – it takes awhile. A multi-blade utensil would make much quicker work of it. A potato masher’s openings would make things very slow going while simultaneously flattening the beef instead of breaking it up.
