The Best Potato Ricer
January 24, 2026
A stainless steel potato ricer with non-slip handles that provide leverage for easy pressing. The fine holes create smooth, fluffy mashed potatoes without lumps.
The design rests securely on pots and bowls, leaving both hands free to operate the handles. The hinged design opens wide for easy filling and cleaning.
Usage
Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks, then boil until tender. While still hot, place chunks in the ricer and press directly over a serving bowl. Also works for other root vegetables, making baby food, or processing cooked tomatoes for sauce.
Cleaning
Dishwasher safe. The hinged design opens fully for easy access. For stuck potato, rinse immediately after use or soak briefly in warm water.
