Mashing the taro: Mashing the cooked taro is similar to mashing potato. I used a large wooden muddler (for drinks and sauerkraut) but I've seen many recipes use electric utensils like a mixer or a kitchenaid. you could also try an electric beater. In the end, some parts of my taro would not mash properly so I ran the poi through a strainer but you can also serve it a bit chunky.
