Potato Ricer

[ally90]

Are they good? Would you recommend?

absolutly must have for all kitchens.

I think they're fab as means I don't have to peel potatoes and guarantees no lumps in mashed pots.

I'll get one

thanks

ally - where are you getting one from? I've been after one for months and can't find one anywhere?

pleeeeeeeeeease tell me where I can get one from

I bought mine ages ago from (whisper)Lakeland.

Just thought I would add to the list of those recommending them. They make such smooth mash.

Found this one in Lakeland Thats where I got mine.

Why did you whisper Lakeland Artic Roll? Have they done something awful and been blacklisted? Am I doomed to join them now for linking to their site?

bought one.

Thanks

I used to have a serious Lakeland catalogue addiction when my dc were tiny but I am now in recovery!

they are great! bought mine from Lakeland. worth spending the money.

Thank goodness for that ArticRoll!

I know what you mean. I try not to order from them as you go on their site for a box of freezer bags or something tiny and come away with a bill for £60! I fall for the free postage if you spend loads everytime.

Quick work SponkaClaus - you obviously are a very disciplined shopper and have resisted the lure of the website!

I love my potato ricer. Bought one after seeing them recommended here on MN. Wouldn't be without it. Infact using it very soon - DD wants mash. Nice, quick and easy.

Erm 'scuse my numptyness but .... ArcticRoll, do you really mean you don't peel potatoes?

Waiting with peeler poised over bin......

BALR,

You don't need to peel potatoes with the Ricer. The ricer removes the peel after they have been cooked. HTH

You definitely don't need to peel the potatoes. I just microwave the potato until cooked, cut inhalf, and then use the ricer to mash. the skin stays inside the ricer, the riced/mashed potato comes out other side.

You mean, you mean that you actually cook them in their skins and press them through the ricer, bit like a gigantic garlic press?

My head is actually going to explode.

O M G

LOL, yes as simple as that!

Sweet farking chocolate buttons !!!!

Why has no-one told me about this before

Oooh oooh oooh could I use it for swede and carrot too or is it exclusively for potatoes?

You can use it for whatever! You get gorgeous smooth mash.

Can I nick "Sweet farking chocolate buttons !!!!" it's my new fave expression, along with "that's crazytalk!"

I saw one in our local hardware shop yesterday and thought "what is the point of that". Am off back there tomorrow to get one now!

Have just told my DH about the skin thing in awe, as he insists on having riced mash. Makes a farking mess though!

Ally, thank you for this thread, so sorry for hijack, my head has exploded
