Editorial Reviews:

If you've watched a few cooking shows you've probably seen one of these in action. Many professional chefs swear by this method of ricing rather than mashing potatoes. This is an excellent device for straining tomatoes and fruits as well-great for homemade baby food!

Summary: Amazing
Comment: I just heard about this potato ricer last week and asked my husband to get one for me for my birthday....he loves mashed potatoes, I hate peeling and mashing them... It came yesterday, I used it today for the first time...AMAZING! Why haven't I ever heard about this before? After 26 years of marriage and complaining about having to make mashed potatoes...It was so easy to use, clean up and even tasted better than mashing! WOW!

Summary: Good, bot could be better
Comment: I enjoy the solid stainless steel construction, the long handles (more leverage) the little "nose" for resting on the lip of a pot, and the three interchangeable discs. Drawbacks: potatos sometimes work around the side of the plunger (worse when you overdo the amt. of spuds) and the absence of a locking collar to keep the inserts in means the inserts will often lift up and out with the plunger. All in all a good product. The drawbacks only amount to minor inconveniences.

Summary: Where have you been all my life?
Comment: I've always made mashed potatoes by peeling the potatoes, cutting them into chunks, boiling, draining, then throwing them into my Kitchen Aid mixer. They've been good, but I had potatoes that were better, so I recently decided to try Cooks Illustrated's suggestion and I purchased this potato ricer.
They were a snap - and they were perfect. Boil the potatoes in their skins, cut them in half, and put them through the ricer. The skins stay in the bowl or on the plunger of the ricer for easy disposal. Add some salt and pepper, some melted butter, and some milk or cream, and voila - perfect mashed potatoes. I'm a convert! This is one "gadget" that won't be relegated to a lonely shelf!

Summary: Not the best, far from the worst
Comment: I have been using this for a year now. It's stainless steel, goes in the dishwasher without rusting, although a little awkward in there but I manage to open it and it gets clean. You can mash potatos with the skin on, but the skin remains in "the hopper", which is good if you want skinless potatos, not so good if you like to include them. It will also clog it up so you need to keep clearing it out. The handle is sturdy enough to do the job without bending, but it does take some amount of strength to push through so it's not for those lacking in that department. I didn't want to spend the extra money at Williams Sonoma for the big one, but kind of wish I did because it holds a lot more. You pretty much do 1 potato at a time in this, which is not so good for a crowd, better to use your mixer. I believe riceing? potatos makes the lightest fluffiest potatoes you will ever have! If I had a baby, I would use this and make my own baby food....wish I had known about them (and seal-a-meal type devices)at the time. I keep forgetting to try it for other tasks, like homeade soup or tomato/pasta sauce, but it should be great for that too....I will soon since it is also good for those on liquid diets, which I am on due to surgery.

Summary: Good Ricer
Comment: I'm pleased with this product...it does what it's supposed to with little effort. The handles are very long and can be a bit awkward when you're a short cook like I am but that's the only real issue I have with it, and that's minor! It's easy to clean and seems to be made well so I'm sure that it will last for years to come. I would buy it again!
