Know before you buy
Stainless steel is highly resistant to both staining and scratching. Unlike wood muddlers, this tool will not absorb fruit juices or odors, ensuring it stays clean and hygienic over time.
Yes, the smooth head is designed to press and release the essential oils from herbs and juices from fruits without shredding them. This prevents bitter flavors that can occur if ingredients are over-muddled or torn.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the polished finish and prevent any potential water spots.
The straight handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip that allows for consistent downward pressure. This design is particularly helpful when muddling tougher ingredients like sugar cubes or firm citrus peels.
While the stainless steel is durable, you should always muddle with care to avoid cracking your glassware. We recommend using a sturdy mixing glass or a shaker tin rather than thin, delicate crystal.
