Cook’s Illustrated has rated this potato ricer #1, and it’s ready to move quickly through piles of potatoes to make smooth, fluffy mashed potatoes. The contoured handles are comfortable and the pot extension holds the ricer steady over most pots. It comes with 2 interchangeable stainless steel plates; medium and coarse. Working like a giant garlic press, you just place cooked potatoes or other cooked vegetables and fruits into the hopper. Then squeeze the handles to move the plunger down to force the food through a perforated disk. It can also be used to squeeze dry spinach or other cooked greens before adding them to omelets and casseroles.
