I had never heard of a Potato Ricer before last week but once I saw one I had to give it a try.

You will never have egg salad a fluffy as this. I used the small insert and once hard boiled and peeled they easily squeeze thru this tool.

So nice.

I always mashed potatoes with a hand masher. They never came out this consistent. I used the large insert for this. Cut the potato in half and place the skin side up. After mashing it thru the skin stays behind and you pick them out.

Look at that.

Thanks a nice ricer! I forget how long we have had one but learned about them from Gordon Ramsay. They are a wonder tool that every kitchen should have!!

When my kitchen is overflowing with crap and my wife wants to know why, I'm not gonna say anything. Just gonna have her jump on SMF and browse.

I'd hate to enable you further but I feel like that mayyyy be the point of this thread.

But if you've never used a food mill, they're potato ricers on steroids.

I got my Son a ricer for Christmas . It's a great tool to have .
He's working on doing Gnocchi .

Cut the potato in half and place the skin side up. After mashing it thru the skin stays behind and you pick them out.

Same with whole tomatoes .

We have one. Although not as fancy as yours. It does have it's place, but I still like doing my mash tator's the old fashion way.

Thankfully I'm out of that boat of having to answer to anyone now on what I buy....But, do I really USE that dining room table that much....Racks for my cooking gadgets would be ok in the formal dining room right?
And that ricer gadget might come in handy!

Added to my wishlist. It's my go to list when I get credits for Amazon screw ups which as of late have been frequent. My last two orders were fully credited with no requirement to return the items. +$50 for me

not that it will apply to you Chris, but I use this masher for guacamole.

They are a must have when making Kartoffelpuffer. German potato pancakes. IMHO.
I use my salad shooter to rice.

 

[02ebz06]

We have a ricer and one like gmc2003 has.
Rarely use either.
I like the idea of using the ricer for eggs.

Jaw on the floor. First time I ever saw anyone mention that. One of my fave foods and have not perfected yet.

Can you "rice" a raw onion in these things?

Oh now that would be super useful!

Now that would get one in my hands.
