Makes a nice decorative piece
It is small and adorable. I've used it for muddling several times now, giving it a quick swish of warm, lightly soapy dishwater for cleaning and the finish is wearing off the rounded end/tip of the muddler making it now unusable, in my opinion. Maybe this is common with citrus use, but why add a finish to anything that will be used for food prep?!
I was muddling for Mojito's (simple syrup, mint and sliced lime) but I had also been using the end of my maple rolling pin before I bought this one, without any issues but my maple pin does not have a "finish" on it, it is just regular wood, hand made by a friend which I will now continue to use until I can find a muddler without an added "finish" that will peel, fade or otherwise degrade with use.
I'm disappointed in this product as I can no longer use it for its' intended purpose but will keep it on my bar just because it is so darn cute.
