I selected this one mainly because it would arrive the fastest, but also because I generally like OXO products. Works great for making homemade potato gnocchi and it’s not difficult to clean or store.

I bought this to replace an old, rusty potato ricer I have had since my college days. I am happy to report that it is extremely well made and makes SUPER smooth textured mashed potatoes. I do however, find it somewhat of a challenge to squeeze the handles at times and will often use the edge of the cooking pot to get the kind of pressure I need. This is peculiar because I am pretty sure that OXO Good Grips brand tools were created to make tasks like these easier.

Thos is the second one of these I've purchased. I bought the second one for my daughter because she kept borrowing mine. So it was time for her to have her own! Easy to clean if you spray it out as soon as you are finished with it. No lumps! I dont even use a mixer after. I just stir in some butter. Everyone should use this for perfect mashed potatoes.

I used to own a different design that had holes on the side as well, and it made a big mess. I love how the holes are only at the bottom of the ricer. I have had this for a few months now, and am very satisfied with it. It’s the right size and appears to be sturdy. Great value for the price!

There may be some variations in manufacturing of this product, but I haven't had the problem some people have had with the food oozing out the sides. It works great - I've so far used it with yukon gold potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and turnips and everything has worked just fine. I like the fluffiness of the vegetables and the fact that they hold together a bit more than if I puree them in a blender or food processor. It leaves a little more integrity to the veggies in a soup or a sauce over pasta or in breads, but still gives a nice soft fluffy texture. Even though it's fairly small, processing the foods goes pretty quickly and it's easier to use than the larger ones I've tried. Easy to clean, dishwasher safe but I usually wash by hand, which is also easy to do. I've used this every couple of days since I got it and I'm very fond of it. I haven't found any other way to duplicate the texture this gives, although I have and use a blender, food processor and very nice knives. It is important to know that you need to cook hard veggies to a fairly soft consistency - it won't work well with hard (or extremely firm) textures. And if you want to let the ricer sort out your peels (I usually just peel first), make sure you put the peel side against the pressure plate so the fleshy bits can come out of the holes.

Easy to clean, very lightweight, highly recommended.I used it to make gnocchi, and it worked excellently. When I was very young, my family lived in Italy for a few years, and my mom learned to make gnocchi there. Gnocchi, if you've never heard of it, is a potato pasta. Basically you use potatoes, flour, and an egg. You boil the potatoes, then peel them and mash them, then add an egg and some four. When it's all mixed, you roll it out, cut it into pieces, boil the pieces, and have them with a spaghetti sauce. The main ingredient is the potatoes.My mom has made gnocchi through the years and it's one of my favorite pasta dishes. Mine never came out as good as my mom's, however. Other people liked them, but they'd never had my mom's, so they didn't know how much better it could be. I was over at my mom's a few months ago while she was making it, and I saw her putting her potatoes in a big plastic bowl with a handle on it that she was turning and the potatoes were coming out of the bottom, through the grill almost mashed already. Quite surprised, I asked her what it was. She said it was a potato ricer.I'd never used one, nor heard of one. I'd just take the boiled potatoes out of the pot, wait until they cooled, then mash them by hand, or using a flat round metal tool. But it always had lumps in it, regardless of how long I mashed. But here my mom had a potato ricer!I got on Amazon, looking for something like my mom had, but couldn't find one, and chanced upon this. I decided to give it a try, as it had to be better than mashing by hand.It's best if you only do half a potato at a time, but it comes out of the bottom just great. No more mashing by hand, no more lumps, very nearly mashed already. So I added the other ingredients, kneaded them all together, then rolled it out, cut it into pieces, rolled them on the board, put them in the boiling water, added sauce to the finished pieces and WOW! No more lumps! The potato dough came out great, no more lumps in the pieces!The finished product finally rivaled my mom's. The people I fixed it for said it was great, as they always have, but this time, *I* finally felt I'd succeeded in making gnocchi as good as my mom's. I actually did a victory dance in the kitchen. While using the gnocchi board for the first time helped (my mom never uses one), it was this ricer that made the most difference. Not one lump. Completely mashed.I'd never been able to do it before, and without this ricer, I'd still never have done it, and be disappointed every time I make it.Very easy to use. You cut the potatoes in half, put the pieces in, squeeze, and an almost mashed potato comes out of the bottom. All you have to do is add whatever ingredients you like for your mashed potatoes and lightly mix it. The potatoes that come out of this ricer are pretty well done as they are.I'd really recommend this. Like I say, no lumps whatsoever, and ready to use. Easy to clean, very lightweight, highly recommended.
