We especially like the hook, which helps to rest the ricer on the edge of a bowl or pan, adding to the ease of use. It has a gear mechanism that requires less effort by the user, ever so slightly out performing the Oxo on this metric.

If you’re thinking that you already have enough gadgets in your kitchen and you don’t want to add another one, think again.

I filled the small cup with about roughly half a potato — you could probably do bigger chunks if you wanted, but I wanted to be extra sure it would work smoothly, and I recommend you do the same.It really is as simple as it sounds, and thanks to the faultless design, it takes hardly any effort to press the potato through the holes. Otherwise its nice and sturdy - I also would have liked the holes to be slightly smaller but this is a personal thing.

The texture and quality of the purée, how easy it was to press, what was left behind and how easy was it to clean them after use.

People who’ve committed the cardinal sin of mashing potatoes with a hand mixer will be especially familiar with what happens when you over-beat potatoes: Restraint is key, and a potato ricer delivers. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. DO NOT make the same mistake that I did, this ricer that is linked is total rubbish, whereas the one that this review is for is great. I also filled it all the way to the top of the cup, but I suggest leaving a bit of space to have a bit more control and make less of a mess. A little tricky to hold steady over the pan and mash come round the sides of the plunger which you have to then push back into the next lot of potato.

All you have to do is rotate the bottom disk, and two square grids shift between large, medium, and small holes. But, unless you have a super-powerful dishwasher, don’t plan on a dirty hopper coming out perfectly clean. This was bought as a replacement for a plastic Kuhn Rikon potato ricer which broke after I used it for some potatoes that had cooled down a bit. We went with unpeeled potatoes because we thought the best ricer would be one that’s strong enough to allow the cook to bypass the peeler entirely.

It is robust, so even potatoes that are slightly undercooked can be pressed through and, because it partlydismantles, it is relatively easy to fit into the dishwasher. But make no mistake, in a resourceful chef’s hands, the tool can sub in for a surprising amount of unconventional kitchen jobs. Use it to make shepherd’s pie, pierogis, colcannon, potato croquettes, mashed potatoes, sweet potato mash and more – the results are so creamy you can forgo butter and milk.We and our partners use cookies and similar tech to improve your site experience, show you personalised ads, and learn from your behaviour so we can, for example, recommend products you'll love!
