 Smooth potatoes, and very easy to use! May 13, 2008

I purchased my ricer a little over a month and have used it several times. With each use, I like this ricer more and more. Though it is plastic, this ricer is very sturdy and is designed very well. The handles are comfortable and I find the pot grip to be useful in keeping the ricer from falling into the pot. I tend to fill the hopper as much as I can, but I haven't had any problem squeezing the potatoes through. Not much force is needed!
The ricing disks are easy to change and clean: just squeeze the two tabs on the insert to remove it from the hopper, change the disk and finally replace the insert.

This ricer is terrific. I read about it in the America's Test Kitchen cookbook and also their web page. Before I bought the ricer, I used my stand mixer and had to whip the potatoes pretty aggressively to make sure there were only a few lumps. My mashed potatoes were popular with guests but I think it was the huge amount of butter and half-and-half that I use. I could not believe the improvement when I started using the ricer. The potatoes are silky smooth and do not have a trace of air from over mixing. I like to clean most things by hand although the ricer is dishwasher friendly. The ricer disassembles nicely for cleaning and goes back together in a snap (literally). It also has two disks for different jobs. I like this device so much that I plan to buy another one and give it to my daughter-in-law for her upcoming baby shower (along with other stuff of course - this ricer only costs 12 bucks)! The ricer can do double duty by pureeing or mashing food for the baby as well as making first class mashed potatoes. You can't go wrong with this ricer.

I bought this after seeing it on America's Test Kitchen. It got rave reviews on the show, and it gets rave reviews in my kitchen. Our potatoes are now light and fluffy - after using the ricer, I can "mash" them by stirring them with a fork! Good stuff.

I have never been able to make good mashed potatoes, this duty falls to family members for holiday meals. I am an avid fan of Cook's Illustrated and they recommended this Ricer. It is wonderful; your results will be consistent every time. The unit is easy to assemble, clean and store. It is light weight and easy to use. It is an excellent product.

WOW! I love this ricer! Ok, so this is my very first ricer, so I can't exactly compare it to any other brands I've tried; however, this one works great, is easy to clean and is pretty darn cute - with it's lime green center piece. I had considered buying one from Target or the grocery store near us, but the one at Target looked really cheap and clunky, and the one at the grocery store looked very sturdy, but it was $30. So this one seems like a great deal - it's cute, it's not cheap looking or feeling and it was only $15.
I just made a batch of mashed potatoes and they came out AMAZING. Super smooth and just melted in my mouth. I was so excited by the results I had to jump on here and review it.
I originally bought this with the idea that it would help me make baby food for my little one here, but I think I'll be using it a lot this winter making mashed potatoes for the whole family. And to boot - it's FUN to use! I mean, if I ever find myself not using it, I can give it to my kids for their play-dough activities. It's perfect for that!
If you like mashed potatoes, I 100% recommend it. I wish I had discovered this tool years ago!
