Explanation:

A pastry blender is a kitchen tool. Its main use is in baking. When making pastries like pie crusts, it helps to incorporate fat (such as butter or shortening) into flour. This creates a crumbly texture which is essential for many baked goods. Mixing batter is usually done with a whisk or a mixer. Kneading dough is for developing gluten (using hands or a dough scraper in some cases). Whipping cream is done with a whisk or an electric beater.
