Chef'n FreshForce Potato Ricer Stainless Steel, for Smooth Mashed Potatoes, 32 x 9 x 12 cm

Product Information

I’m already excited for my next meal using this nifty gadget — I’m aiming to make some guacamole with it this weekend, but truly, the uses for this potato ricer are endless. But hear me out: I only just graduated college, during which most of my dishes were selected for their ease and speed. I always thought it would take way too long to actually mash potatoes — and why do that when you can get some frozen ones from Trader Joe’s or add water to the microwavable kind?

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. It was very easy to use, and gave silky, soft purées, except for the parsnips, which left a little veg in the chamber. One of our top choices, the Joseph Joseph Helix ricer, takes this idea to the next level by removing the need to squeeze the handles altogether.The interchangeable discs are a breeze to switch out, and it’s so handy to have three different sizes to work with. 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.

For people who have grip issues, this might be a preferable choice, but overall, the mechanism was far less efficient than the conventional design. The first question we sought out to answer when finding the best potato ricer was actually, do you need a potato ricer at all? And, I’ll admit it: They came out way better than all the premade ones I’ve been making over the past couple years.
