Customer Reviews of RSVP International SPUD Potato Ricer 13.5-in.
Customer Rating:   Summary: Great product after experimenting Comment: I really like the potato ricer, but had a few mishaps at first. The directions do not tell you to only fill it about 1/2 - 2/3's full when you use it. If you fill it up, like I did, you will have quite a mess. Once you get used to it, however, you will love it. Makes great mashed potatoes with a wonderful taste (not starchy). Cleans in the dishwasher so no problems there. I don't use it every time, but I do use it when I have the extra few minutes it requires. Customer Rating: Summary: Replaced my stand mixer for potatoes Comment: This ricer is terrific. I read about it in the America's Test Kitchen cookbook and also their web page. Before I bought the ricer, I used my stand mixer and had to whip the potatoes pretty aggressively to make sure there were only a few lumps. My mashed potatoes were popular with guests but I think it was the huge amount of butter and half-and-half that I use. I could not believe the improvement when I started using the ricer. The potatoes are silky smooth and do not have a trace of air from over mixing. I like to clean most things by hand although the ricer is dishwasher friendly. The ricer disassembles nicely for cleaning and goes back together in a snap (literally). It also has two disks for different jobs. I like this device so much that I plan to buy another one and give it to my daughter-in-law for her upcoming baby shower (along with other stuff of course - this ricer only costs 12 bucks)! The ricer can do double duty by pureeing or mashing food for the baby as well as making first class mashed potatoes. You can't go wrong with this ricer. Customer Rating: Summary: Smooth potatoes, and very easy to use! Comment: I purchased my ricer a little over a month and have used it several times. With each use, I like this ricer more and more. Though it is plastic, this ricer is very sturdy and is designed very well. The handles are comfortable and I find the pot grip to be useful in keeping the ricer from falling into the pot. I tend to fill the hopper as much as I can, but I haven't had any problem squeezing the potatoes through. Not much force is needed! The ricing disks are easy to change and clean: just squeeze the two tabs on the insert to remove it from the hopper, change the disk and finally replace the insert. More Reviews A phenomenal gadget both you and your potatoes will love! Made of heavy duty plastic, this ricer sports a nifty green stripe and is ready to race through piles of potatoes. Contoured handles provide comfort, while the pot extension holds the ricer steady over most pots. Comes with two interchangeable stainless steel plates - medium and coarse. 13.5-in. overall length, 4-in. wide. Dishwasher safe. 
Choosing Appliance -> Range Cookers The way you cook is also key to deciding which type of range cooker to choose. No-frills heat storage ranges such as Agas retain heat they have gradually built up and generally have two ovens without temperature controls - the hot oven is for roasting and baking, the cool one for slow cooking/keeping warm. Choosing Appliance -> Salad spinner While some may consider this a bit on the gadgety side, I think it is a must as dressings do not stick to water-logged salad greens.

Kitchen tips -> Sharpening Knife A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one, because you apply to it more pressure and force to cut through foods. It can easily slip out of place as you use it and you can harm yourself. Keep your knives in good working condition by sharpening according to their use and time. There's no specified amount of time, because knives vary as much as their use; although, you can easily determine if they need sharpening by the way they cut/slice foods. If a knife can slice through a tomato and tear the skin, then it needs sharpening. If, on the other hand, the cut is clean and quick without any tears, then it needs not be sharpened. |
