In the wide world of nifty kitchen gadgets that simplify our lives, some shine and others lackluster. But one of his humble Kmart discoveries has gone on to become a big hit in his Australian mother's kitchen, proving that sometimes the simplest tools are the most effective.
It all started when one clever shopper shared her find on the Kmart Mums Facebook group while proudly showing off her recently purchased $5 mince masher. After seeing American moms raving about mince mashers on her YouTube, she was on a mission to find one of her own. After she encountered high prices on Amazon and her eBay, a chance find at her local Kmart changed her fortunes.

“Win for $5, less than the cost of a latte!! Game changer to mince that bad guy!! Because I'm #mincingboss,” she exclaimed.
This handheld cookware is designed to crush and blend ground meat, ensuring an even consistency for even cooking. It's also heat resistant, safe to use in nonstick pots, and dishwasher safe. 3 out of 3 points.
“I have one too and this is a game changer!! Much better than a spatula or wooden spoon!” chimed another fan. And the chorus of praise didn't stop there. Another satisfied shopper said, “It worked. It was much faster than using a spoon.”
“This is great. It's so quick and easy.”
“It feels great! Best $5 I've ever spent!”
“It's perfect for breaking up semi-frozen mince that you can't do with a spoon. You won't regret it. I love it too,” said another satisfied customer.
But this handy tool isn't just a one-trick pony. One group member pointed out, “We use it for a lot of other things too. It's great for mashing avocados.” In fact, this little wonder from Kmart seems to be all about versatility, with some people saying they've used it to mash fruits and vegetables for their babies, and others saying it's perfect for curing everyday frustrations. Some people joke.

But as is often the case, what the Internet gives you, it also takes away from you.
“I thought this was painful,” one group member confessed. “The minced meat gets stuck in the corners and is difficult to clean. Now I only use a wooden spoon.”
And some skeptics question whether this gadget is really worth the hype, or even necessary at all. One realist advised, “Save your $5 and use a wooden spoon or whisk you already have at home. They'll do the job perfectly.” “A potato masher is so much easier,” chimed in another.
But even amidst the mixed reviews, one sentiment remains constant. That's the joy of discovering a useful kitchen tool that revolutionizes meal preparation for some people, even if it's off-base for others.
One user kindly said, “If you think this has changed your mincing game, I'm really happy.”
