Mistral Pastry Chef Maker

Don't buy this useless piece of equipment. I had it sitting in my cupboard for about a year and finally pulled it out a month ago, have used it three times and on the third time I could smell an electrical smell and then it triggered our power off to the whole house.

There are so many ridges and areas that get full of gunk and are inaccessible to clean. Also the closing mechanism is badly flawed in being incredibly difficult and stubborn to operate and requires your… Read more

hands to be scalded by steam in use. A dog of a product. I wonder about the processes involved in releasing such a bad item and what this says about Mistral as a company.
