Easy to clean, very lightweight, highly recommended.
I used it to make gnocchi, and it worked excellently. When I was very young, my family lived in Italy for a few years, and my mom learned to make gnocchi there. Gnocchi, if you've never heard of it, is a potato pasta. Basically you use potatoes, flour, and an egg. You boil the potatoes, then peel them and mash them, then add an egg and some four. When it's all mixed, you roll it out, cut it into pieces, boil the pieces, and have them with a spaghetti sauce. The main ingredient is the potatoes.
My mom has made gnocchi through the years and it's one of my favorite pasta dishes. Mine never came out as good as my mom's, however. Other people liked them, but they'd never had my mom's, so they didn't know how much better it could be. I was over at my mom's a few months ago while she was making it, and I saw her putting her potatoes in a big plastic bowl with a handle on it that she was turning and the potatoes were coming out of the bottom, through the grill almost mashed already. Quite surprised, I asked her what it was. She said it was a potato ricer.
I'd never used one, nor heard of one. I'd just take the boiled potatoes out of the pot, wait until they cooled, then mash them by hand, or using a flat round metal tool. But it always had lumps in it, regardless of how long I mashed. But here my mom had a potato ricer!
I got on Amazon, looking for something like my mom had, but couldn't find one, and chanced upon this. I decided to give it a try, as it had to be better than mashing by hand.
It's best if you only do half a potato at a time, but it comes out of the bottom just great. No more mashing by hand, no more lumps, very nearly mashed already. So I added the other ingredients, kneaded them all together, then rolled it out, cut it into pieces, rolled them on the board, put them in the boiling water, added sauce to the finished pieces and WOW! No more lumps! The potato dough came out great, no more lumps in the pieces!
The finished product finally rivaled my mom's. The people I fixed it for said it was great, as they always have, but this time, *I* finally felt I'd succeeded in making gnocchi as good as my mom's. I actually did a victory dance in the kitchen. While using the gnocchi board for the first time helped (my mom never uses one), it was this ricer that made the most difference. Not one lump. Completely mashed.
I'd never been able to do it before, and without this ricer, I'd still never have done it, and be disappointed every time I make it.
Very easy to use. You cut the potatoes in half, put the pieces in, squeeze, and an almost mashed potato comes out of the bottom. All you have to do is add whatever ingredients you like for your mashed potatoes and lightly mix it. The potatoes that come out of this ricer are pretty well done as they are.
I'd really recommend this. Like I say, no lumps whatsoever, and ready to use. Easy to clean, very lightweight, highly recommended.

Riced Potatoes?! Why yes!
Thanks to the Food Network channel, I now know about ricing potatoes! After watching the television cooks do it, I decided to try it out for myself and choose this Oxo Good Grips Ricer. I'm very pleased with my purchase. The size is perfect. Many people have commented that it is too small, but I can get through 5 pounds of potatoes in no time at all. In fact, after the comments about it's size, I was expecting it to be smaller than it actually was. The handle is comfortable. I don't usually sit it directly on the bowl or pot when ricing, but you could easily do that if you had trouble gripping the handle and just push down on the lever instead of gripping. My 10 year old son likes to cook with me and he has to use that method (he can't grip it). I included a photo so you could see it's size in relation to my hands. The potatoes come out perfect - no lumps (although I hear some people actually LIKE lumps?). Anyway, this is a terrific ricer - clean up is easy too. A simple rinse gets most of the potato residue off and then I put it in the dishwasher!
