Title: Totally worthless!
Review: I was visiting a friend who didn't own a pastry cutter, so we ran to the store to get one. All they had was this Oxo Dough Blender, so even though I prefer a blender with blades, I bought this by default. What a mistake! When I tried to chop the shortening into the flour (for a pie crust), this piece of junk only SMASHED the shortening into the flour, and I couldn't create the 'pea-sized' shortening pieces that allow you to have a light, flaky crust.I do not recommend this blender at all! It ruined my pie crust! I only recommend a pastry blender/cutter with BLADES that chop the shortening into the flour, or the butter into a streusel topping. Oxo actually sells a correctly bladed one (the "Oxo Good Grips Dough Blender with Blades"), so why would you buy their inferior dough blender??
