Anyone got a potato ricer from Lakeland?

Any good? Or total waste of money and kitchen space?

\link{http://www.lakelandlimited.co.uk/product.aspx/!6532\This one, in case "potato ricer from Lakeland" isn't enough of a desc}

I have got it and it is fab

dh has a stainless steel one - it was a pressie

he does use it and it does make nice lump-free mash if that's what you like

Do I need to peel potatoes before using this?

[lazy-arse]

I use mine. Make sure if you add milk later that the milk is hot. Makes all the difference.

We have a stainless steel one and it's fab. As an added bonus, it doubles up as a toddler toy, with the addition of one small man-like figure for 'eating' purposes.

YES, Hunker, you disgrace

you have to peel the pots!

there is a juicing attchment on it and obne for doing purees

Nigella Lawson always pipes on about these and guess what............. she doesn't peel. The skin stays in the press.

Really? The workshy old tart

omg you dont have to peel

Wonderful, I made Gnocchi at weekend with mine and it was really good

Was going to mention that you didn't need to peel - only discovered this since DB's american girlfriend came to stay and did mashed pots with the skin in (think she removed from ricer and cut up to add, not huge sheet like items in otherwise perfect mash).
I love my ricer, but mine is a plebby Ikea one

Mine's the Ikea version too. It's fab. I microwave a jacket potato, cut in half and squidge it through the ricer for the DSs.

oooh thats a good word... squidge

I didn't get it from Lakeland, but an identical one from a kitchen type shop in Sheffield. I use it every week for mash. So easy - microwave whole potatoes, cut in half and pop through ricer - lump free every time :) I bought mine after a recommendation on MN

I've got the Lakeland one and its great. Get one Hunker!
