I bought a potato ricer when I was at the Derby Pottery Visitors Centre Cookery Emporium yesterday. Has anyone got one, and what do you think about it.

They're supposed to be really good. But in my house, I fear, it would join the 'never used kitchen utensils' collection.

Ah Carol, I am keeping my trusty masher just in case I do not get on with the ricer, but cannot summonds up the 'elbow grease' to get the power behind it these days. The ricer makes long strips of potato, in much the same way as if you had used a cheese grater. This suits us on top of a Shepherds Pie, as it is stodgy.

THICKIE ALERT!!!

Gawwwd, what a dumb question but i have never heard of a spud ricer before.

Jane

Jane Report 1 Sep 2009 18:22

Thats what a ricer does lol

JoyBoroAngel

JoyBoroAngel Report 1 Sep 2009 18:22

with a ricer you can mash tatties with the skins on
and you only get the mash out of them
its a hand held press with a sieve like action

looks like a giant garlic press

I love my potato ricer, but don't use it all the time. It is really good for the topping on shepherd's pie or cottage pie. It comes out really light and fluffy.

I have to admit, I don't use it for everyday though, still use the masher.

I find mashing in the ordinary way and then putting in the microwave for about 2minutes will make a nice fluffy mash. I do that when it needs to be a bit warmer when I've dished up everything else.
