What can a pinwheel on a stick do?Anyone who’s tried to crumble ground beef in a pan with a fork or spatula will tell you that this novel product is a game changer. Its one-of-a-kind design with five beveled nylon blades breaks foods into a nice consistency for even cooking. Here are 10 ways it can improve everyday cooking in your kitchen.
1. Crumble beef, chicken, turkey & sausage -It breaks up meat into fine, uniform crumbles for even cooking.
