RSVP International (SPUD) Potato Ricer, White/Green | Mash Potatoes, Fruits, Vegetables & More | Includes Medium & Coarse Plates | Pot Resting Extension | Dishwasher Safe

Purchased this based on tester studies and reviews of potato ricers from America's Test Kitchen...and they were spot on. Works great! Easy to compress of food products, creating a smooth texture. Wish this was my first one. Much easier to use and clean than the potato ricer I purchased from a Resturant supply store.

Adds a step to making mashed potatoes but the family consensus is that it is worth it! Works great!

My real rating would be 3.5 stars.Pros: It cleans up very easily, and there are two different plates (Fine and Medium). If you are using a deep enough bowl or pot into which you're ricing, the "pot extension" does indeed come in handy. Assembles/dissembles easily.Cons: Don't even think about filling the compartment. Potatoes would have to be next to complete mush for this to pass a whole cupful of medium-sized cubes through the medium mesh grate. I was finding it easy to do a single layer; filling halfway became a bit more work; full load was a serious pectoral workout (you wouldn't be able to workout your forearms by just squeezing because you need two hands when full, and it's too wide an expanse between handles when the unit is fully loaded.If it's not for really, REALLY well-done boiled potatoes, I can't imagine this working well at all. Sweet potatoes did not work well for me at all: for the most part they were hard to rice, but the softest of the mush-matter would force its way under the collar (which holds the metal ricing die in place) and force the collar up, unlocking it as it did so and trapping strained matter between collar and unit wall.So all-in-all, not the worst product, and given its very low price, it seems even better with all the evidence collected. I've not used the fine-mesh die yet and cannot imagine needing to, because potatoes soft enough to pass through will be mushy enough to just mash with a fork, honestly, so a fine grate would be beside the point and just add to the difficulty.Well-boiled, still warm, not overfilling the cup, with the medium mesh die. That's my advice.And trust me on THIS, as well: don't even think about a beet in this, roasted, boiled or otherwise. Too fibrous, too hard to push, and every surface in the kitchen will look like you're waiting for the CSI crew to come in and check the blood spatter patterns for clues.

Dragging out the two-ton KitchenAid is a hassle. Cleaning up afterwards is no more fun. But to be honest, I've done that for many years and probably would have kept on doing so, until I lent my KitchenAid Mixer and unfortunately the ricer attachment didn't come back with it. When I was looking for a replacement part here on Amazon, I saw this device and for the cost I decided to give it a try. Frankly it does every bit as good of a job and was a bit easier overall to use. I riced something like a dozen large potatoes in no time at all and it really was easier than the KitchenAid. I'd definitely recommend.

Dear Potato Ricer,Before you and I were introduced, I had no idea what I was missing. You see, before we met, I was living only a half life. Now that I have found you, I feel full again. Full of yummy mashed potatoes. I vow to never let you go.Before I met you, most of my days were spent at my 9-5, and then I came home to my family to cook and clean. Very little time was left for ME, doing things I enjoyed doing. Oh, Potato Ricer, how you have opened up my world, and freed up so much of my time - I now get to actually enjoy the family that I cook and clean for.You have taken the time I used to spend making my daughter's favorite food (mashed potatoes), and cut it in half. Thank you Potato Ricer, thank you. I can now cook mashed potatoes in 15 minutes, instead of thirty.You have taken all of the stress and worry I had about having lumpy potatoes. Your smoosher thing is absolutely the best at squeezing out perfectly mashed and fluffy potatoes. I no longer have to deal with the Mixer who is such a hassle (messy too). All I have to do is put potatoes in your smoosher, press down on you, and there you go. Add some milk and butter - Voila!Also, once you are done making my perfect potatoes, you come apart sooooo easily. I can just fit you in the top rack of my dishwasher and be done with it. You're made of plastic, so nothing sticks - very easy to rinse off.Once again, I just wanted to thank you Potato Ricer, for helping me in my times of need. I don't know what I would do without you on those horrific Thanksgiving Day's and Christmas Eves. I will never go back to the Mixer again.Your biggest fan,Me

Me parece un excelente utensilio, las papas quedan preciosas para el puré, aunque también lo he usado para otras frutas y verduras cocidas como zanahoria, manzana, pera, chayote... lo recomiendo.

Great for ricing potatoes, leaving no lumps. Comes with 2 sizes for different textures.

I waited some time to find a ricer, and on reading about this one decided to purchase it. It's very easy to use and it easy to rice with. The only thing that's odd is it's colour. But if you can get on with green and white go for it. Very happy great price.

Muy buen producto es lo que buscaba, materiales resistentes, facil de limpiar y cumple con su funccion

Based on reviews online and America's Test Kitchens, I decided to purchase this potato ricer. I've used both hot, freshly boiled potatoes, boiled potatoes that have sat in the fridge for several days, and even baked potatoes. Works well and produces really smooth, mashed potatoes for pierogi/gnocchi and regular mashed potatoes. I've also used the ricer with sweet potatoes, carrots and squash. The ricer comes apart easily, is easy to wash. Storage could be an issue if you don't have much room in your drawers, it is a bit clunky. My two minor negative comments: (1) don't fill more than half the well otherwise it's awkward to squeeze, I had to use both hands, and (2) some food does come out around the presser foot, similar to what happens with a garlic press. But I will add that as the food is "riced," it only comes out through the bottom and not the sides, so it's easier to get everything into the container that you're ricing into. On the whole, I'm very happy with the ricer, and definitely would recommend it.
