Great pastry blender not flimsy like the ones my mom and grandma used back in the day i am new to the baking scene so i dont know much about what to use this with but i am excited to learn my mom and i are talking about pies bread and rolls so this will be fun d the package was perfectly wrapped and was in the appropriate size box for the size of the item and i received it very quickly d thank you so much i am very happy with my purchase it is a great value for the money spent
