« Good to use, bad to clean »

As a potato ricer, this works well. This device is not, however, dishwasher friendly. It is composed of 2 mating plastic molded parts. The joint is not water tight, and it comes out of the dishwasher with lots of water inside. It takes days of shaking, draining and positioning to get that water out. You also would not want to immerse it. I think one could do better.

« Works great »

Makes perfect mashed potatoes. Fits your hand great and the lip helps hold it on the bowl adding to leverage.

« Does what is says! »

I love my new ricer, and it is so easy to use and clean! Smooth creamy potatoes, and less clean up than a whole stand mixer. I can't wait to try to make homemade baby food and spaetzle! I learned about this product from America's Test Kitchen, that show also rocks!

« The only way to make mashed potatoes »

For the record, I don't like mashed potatoes - even though I wish I did. Since I am often left cooking for my friends and family, I had to learn how to make mashed potatoes that were crowd pleasers.

This tool is a tremendous help in making uniform, lump free mashed potatoes. I always think they taste like wallpaper paste, but my entire family went bonkers for the batch I made for Xmas dinner. Everyone had seconds. It was a nice feeling.

Paired this with Cook's Illustrated's master recipe for mashed potatoes, and was very happy with the results.

The only reason I didn't give it five stars is two-fold:
1) The handle is slippery when wet. This could be easily remedied by adding rubbery grips like Oxo products have.
2) This would not be a good choice for an elderly person or someone with disabilities. At 6'4" and 260lbs, I started to get pretty tired after ricing about 4lbs of potatoes.
