SRS... me too, during the process of making fishcakes. However! I let the spuds cool BEFORE I "mashed" them. Damn near like asphalt! The 300w motor was moaning cyclicly under the load but it got the job done. Adding the fish increased the laod but, by golly, she chewed thru the task and it didn't hurt my arthrtic hands! I have never seen mashed spuds that thick and sticky in my life. Making the cakes was a chore. = I am impressed! Should bought one years ago.

On to pizza dough next. Or maybe another batch of fish cakes... mine are gone.
