I was very happy to find this all-stainless steel basic potato ricer! I had one like it for years and loaned it to someone, and never got it back. Sad! I wanted to buy a new one, but those I saw in some kitchen stores all had black foamy handles and other parts--very unappealing!This one is streamlined and easy to use, and makes perfect riced potato, which can be mixed with butter, salt and a bit of milk for creamy mashed potato. There are many other uses for it also--one can rice sweet potatoes for sweet potato pie or casserole, and one can use it to make baby food from cooked fruits and vegetables. You will not be disappointed in this great piece of kitchen equipment! I love it!

I wanted to see what the hype was about using one of these for mashed potatoes and I'm glad I did. These made some of the most silky, smooth, creamy, delicate mashed potatoes I've ever ate from homemade. I followed a Youtuber Josh Weissman on how he made his KFC mashed potatoes and they were a hit at home. No more pulling out kitchen aid egg beaters to mash our potatoes. Now we can do it without a potato tornado flying around our kitchen. They cleaned up pretty well too. Didn't take too much pressure pushing the potatoes out. Felt sturdy even when sometimes I felt like the hopper was really full and was really pushing to get them mashed. It held up so far. I only used them once so time will tell. I did mash the potatoes while they were still hot. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

I bought this after reading about people using this in recipes for spinach dip. I hemmed and hawed, considering how rarely I would use it, but it was well worth it. After thawing the spinach, I dropped it in this ricer and squeezed and voila! Nice and dry to proceed with the recipe. Far better than using a colander, or trying to squeeze dry with cheese cloth. Now that I have it, I'm sure to find other uses. Well made, quality product.

Our last device was flimsy and bent, this one is solid. It should last a long time. We use it to sqeeze water out of potatoes to make latkes, very fast processing.

It's just like the one my grandmother used to make mashed potatoes. I have expanded on its use to make deviled eggs (creamy yellow), mashed sweet potatoes, and mashed cauliflower.

I am really glad I chose this ricer of the many available on Amazon. This ricer replaces one that was ancient, beat-up one that I've used for years after buying it used off a card table at a local flea market. I'm glad I bought this model to replace it - many I checked on Amazon were too small. Also, this one is all metal. Most ricers I saw on the site are part plastic. In addition, this one has holes in the side, not just the bottom, like the old one it replaces. Very few of the new models do. Yes, I have to put it over and down a bit into a pan or bowl when I use it, but the holes on the side make a big difference in the ease and speed of operation. Also, the basket is large enough to accommodate a whole potato or potato and a half depending on the size. I've used it now twice and it functions perfectly and makes great mashed potatoes. I really wouldn't make mashed potatoes without a ricer, as I wouldn't bother with peeling the potatoes. With a ricer, you don't have to -- just cut em up, boil up tender, and put em through the ricer. Throw the skins away after you put the potato through the sieve. The skins stay in the basket. The mashed potatoes taste better too when cooked with skins on.

Works great, not hard to use and I have very weak hand muscles.

I am a professional and i have to make a deep 1/3 pan of mash every morning. (For non-professionals, that's about 1.5 gallons)
Our kitchen has a rotating ricer, which i absolutely hate. Its hard to use and the potatoes come out gluey from being over processed. I got this little ricer and my mash comes out perfect and i have gotten the process down to 5 minutes after steaming my potatoes. It also comes apart so you can just spray it down and run it through the dishwasher. My only complaint is that i wish it were a little bigger, but I'm not going to take away stars for that because the description clearly states its measurements. ;)
