Product Description: If you've watched a few cooking shows you've probably seen one of these in action. Many professional chefs swear by this method of ricing rather than mashing potatoes. This is an excellent device for straining tomatoes and fruits as well-great for homemade baby food!
Amazon.com Review: If you've never experienced a potato ricer, it's not too late to make up for lost time. This simple implement doesn't have a digital clock, doesn't blink when it's ready, and doesn't have a tiny computer chip imbedded in it to do all the work. It takes a bit of pressing and squeezing, but the light and airy potatoes that result will be both memorable and worth the work. Place boiled potatoes in the bowl of the ricer, set it across a saucepan (using the ridge on the head of the bowl), and press the potatoes through the disk--that's it. Stir in a bit of butter and cream, dust with paprika, and enjoy. And be sure to try the ricer with other root vegetables, such as carrots, yams, and turnips. --C. Whitney-Ward

I have been using this for a year now. It's stainless steel, goes in the dishwasher without rusting, although a little awkward in there but I manage to open it and it gets clean. You can mash potatos with the skin on, but the skin remains in "the hopper", which is good if you want skinless potatos, not so good if you like to include them. It will also clog it up so you need to keep clearing it out. The handle is sturdy enough to do the job without bending, but it does take some amount of strength to push through so it's not for those lacking in that department. I didn't want to spend the extra ... Read More
Rating: - Good Ricer
I'm pleased with this product...it does what it's supposed to with little effort. The handles are very long and can be a bit awkward when you're a short cook like I am but that's the only real issue I have with it, and that's minor! It's easy to clean and seems to be made well so I'm sure that it will last for years to come. I would buy it again!

This ricer is very handy. Three interchangable discs enable you to make a variety of food without other accessories. It worths the price and it is well built.

Amazing gnocchi! We could never make great gnocchi before we had this, now it's quite easy! We love it, it's very well made, easy to use, easy to clean.
Rating: - Great product, long lasting, good quality
I like the quality and that it comes with 3 disks. I haven't tried making the German noodles yet, but I will soon. I paid too much for it, but noticed that is now on sale for under $25....that's a deal! I paid close to $40, which was a little too expensive for a ricer, but I'm happy with it.
