Amazon.com Review
Simply place this ricer over any bowl or pot, squeeze the gadget's handles, and mashed fruits and vegetables, especially potatoes, ooze right through. A nonslip knob helps hold it in place, and its soft handles have a comfortable grip. Great for mashed potatoes or for making your own baby food, it's made of stainless steel to withstand repeated use.

The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip, flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably, the pressure-absorbing, processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while still providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

Customer Reviews

An excellent tool which does exactly what it should do! Buy It.
For starters, this gadget succeeds at doing the job for which it was designed better than just about any other kitchen tool I have tried except for a very sharp large kitchen knife.

And, it has all the features which have made OXO Good Grips products the best selling and best reviewed line of kitchen gear.

I held out buying one of these little darlings for a long time, as I already owned a food mill which is entirely capable of doing the same job with about the same level of success. And, this 18/10 stainless steel gem is not the cheapest gizmo in the gadget drawer.

I was swayed from this alternative by the fact that a food mill is a pain in the neck to retrieve from its high shelf, assemble, and then clean, although if I am cooking for a crowd, I may still use it, as it can do much more spud crushing in a shorter time than the Ricer.

I was also deterred by the possible lack of 'multi-tasking' ability until I saw TV chefs sqeeze water out of cooked spinach and lots of other leafy goodness.

My last basis for procastination is the fact that I thought the design with a selection of different hole plates (very much like the food mill) would be a better option to OXO's 'unibody' construction. But, I gave in here too, since I couldn't locate a good model with this feature.

Well, now I have this one and I used it and it produces truly primo mashed potatoes WITHOUT creating gummy spud paste.

If you make mashed potates more than once a month, buy this beauty!

excellent design & construction
Very well made and attractive. It functions without a problem and offers great ergonomics. The consistency of the riced potato is smooth. Easy on the hands and cleans up quickly and thoroughly.

ricers are great...but
this isn't the ricer to buy. No multiple disks for versatility. Only 11 inchs long and a small basket. Its well made, mostly stainless, but the choice is clear...cuisipro. (worth the extra 3 bucks...)
