It’s a good utensil but its size and weight make it difficult to use and clean. If ricing something firm like a baked sweet potato significant arm strength is needed. Soft stuff like banana or watery cooked spinach are much easier. Lucky me – my kitchen sink is two bowl and one is narrower than the other and I can rest this thing across the span from sink divider to countertop. That way all I have to do is press down on the handle on top and that makes it a lot easier than having to exert pressure from both sides. Because of how big and cumbersome it is it’s difficult to wash too. If I couldn’t rest it on a solid supporting surface like I do I would not use it much. But with my setup I do use it often and get good results. Better than setting up a food processor.

I was impressed by the sturdiness and quality when I took the potato ricer out of the box. Used it for the first time yesterday, and loved the ease of use and capacity. I was able to place a whole boiled Yukon gold potato in the ricer. My hands are small and not very strong, but I had no problem at all using this ricer. Clean up was easier than expected. The ricer takes up a fair amount of storage space because of the large capacity. Extremely pleased with my purchase.

I bought this handheld ricer to make mashed potatoes for a dozen people this past Thanksgiving. I’ve worked in professional kitchens where we used a food mill to process large quantities of potatoes and other root vegetables, however, for my use case (just 2 lbs of boiled potatoes) this ricer was perfect. I was able to process almost an entire large potato at once, though a bit of the unprocessed parts spilled over the sides due to overfilling…and a bit of impatience. To clean, I simply threw it in the dishwasher.

I wish I would’ve purchased this gem a lot sooner….it’s 100% stainless steel and makes the smoothest mashed potatoes, sweet and white! I used this for the baked sweet potatoes for sweet potato pie and it took seconds to put the filling together. It’s also easy to clean! The plunger part swings all the way out so you can easily scrape bits off and rinse all the parts. It’s dishwasher safe, which is a must in todays world.
Please note it’s quite large. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but it’s bigger than I’d imagined. I don’t mind at all bc it needs to have some heft to it. It’s a better quality than the one I was gonna buy from the Williams Sonoma store (theirs was partially plastic and double the cost). It’s gonna be great for squeezing out the bits of herbs from oils and tinctures as well.

I love that the plates are easily interchangeable, the product is easy to clean and easy to use. I had one before that from stokes and the upper part that pushed the potatoes kept coming off and it was difficult to clean so it’s a big improvement!

I’ve had a few of these of the years. Simple design and works great. I’ve only used it for making mashed potatoes and gnocchi. I think it’s a bit more necessary for gnocchi to get a homogeneous product. Mashed potatoes could be done almost as easily by hand.
For the price, convenience, consistency and ease of cleaning I think it’s a worthwhile purchase.

Easy to use, easy to clean. Rices potatoes pretty good. I will be careful with it, as it’s not great quality.

This thing worked great and is well built and should last for a long time. My wife and I both liked the results using this device for the first time. It was easy to clean and the potatoes were nice and fluffy. We liked them right from the ricer, with some butter added and even added a little milk and they were great no matter how we prepared them! We are very happy!

Pros:
Consistent Texture: This potato ricer produces very smooth and consistent mashed potatoes. The small holes in the ricer help break down the potatoes effectively, creating a velvety texture.
Easy to Use: This potato ricer is very straightforward to use. You place the cooked potatoes into the chamber, and by pressing down, the mashed potatoes are forced through the small holes. This process requires minimal effort.
Versatile: While primarily used for potatoes, I’ve used this potato ricer also for other vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, or squash. It’s a versatile tool for various recipes.
Less Gluey Texture: Unlike mashing with a regular potato masher or electric mixer, a ricer doesn’t overwork the potatoes, which can lead to a gluey texture. It keeps the starches in the potatoes from being overactivated, resulting in lighter and fluffier mashed potatoes. I learned that from Gordon Ramsey!
Easy to Clean: This potato ricer is easy to clean, as it has removable parts that can be placed in the dishwasher or cleaned by hand. I’ve done both with this one.
Cons:
Limited to Mashed Texture: While potato ricers excel at producing smooth, creamy mashed potatoes, they aren’t suitable for dishes where you want a chunky or rustic texture. For those cases, a masher might be more appropriate.
Storage: Potato ricers in general can be bulky and may take up space in your kitchen. Look for models with a compact design if you have limited storage.
Not Ideal for Large Batches: If you need to mash a significant quantity of potatoes, using a potato ricer can be time-consuming compared to using an electric mixer. But the flavor is the pay-off.
In summary, this potato ricer is an excellent addition to your kitchen if you appreciate perfectly smooth and creamy mashed potatoes and other vegetables. Its ease of use and ability to maintain a desirable texture make it a valuable tool for creating delicious side dishes.
