Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MIU Stainless-Steel Potato Presser

Customer Review: Good quality but small which impacts leverage
Summary: 3 Stars

Nicely made ricer, but the handles are short which makes it more difficult to use. You have to exert a significant amount of force for it to work.

Description of MIU Stainless-Steel Potato Presser

Stainless Steel Jumbo Potato Ricer
The way to perfect mashed potatoes is through a ricer, the most basic form of which is the potato press. The reason it's so good to mash potatoes this way, is that it breaks down lumps that a hand-held masher might miss with the least amount of effort. Overworking cooked potatoes--by using a food processor, for instance--can break down starch molecules and result in gooey rather than smooth, fluffy mashed potatoes.

The MIU France stainless steel potato presser works just like a large garlic press. Two hinged handles, when compressed, push a plunger down into a cylindrical hopper; the riced potato is then extruded out the bottom of the press. (It's called ricing because the pressed potato resembles grains of rice, at least until it gets mashed.) The bottom handle's comfortably-spaced finger indentations provide a strong grip while pressing. This tool is also well-suited for pureeing fruits and vegetables for soups, desserts, preserves, or homemade baby foods.

The MIU France potato presser is made of 18/10 stainless steel--brushed on the inside with a high-gloss, chrome-like polish on the outside. The presser is dishwasher-safe. However, when washing by hand, avoid harsh abrasive scrubbers or cleansers in order to preserve the polished finish. The presser measures 11 by 4 by 4 inches, including handles. --Garland Withers
