Crafted for tradition and designed for everyday use, this machacador masher is a beloved kitchen essential in Mexican cooking—ideal for making creamy guacamole and authentic refried beans (frijoles refritos).

Each piece is hand-carved from solid wood and finished with natural burn accents, a technique done by artisans in Mexico. Lightweight and sturdy, it fits comfortably in your hand for direct mashing in bowls or cooking pans.

Over time, the wood deepens in color, gaining a warm patina unique to your home kitchen. Each tool carries the marks of the hands that shaped it—no two are alike.

Made by HERNÁN, a woman-owned brand working with artisan producers across Mexico to bring traditional culinary tools and ingredients to a wider world. Through every product, HERNÁN supports local craftsmanship and helps preserve Mexico’s rich food heritage.

Includes a traditional Frijoles Refritos recipe and care instructions.
