I strongly concur with the ricer! WOW - they do a fabulous job. I bought
mine several years ago because it was priced really well... wasn't sure I'd
really use it much... but well, you can't pass up a good deal when it comes
to kitchen * tools * (gadgets are good but "tools" are necessary!)! LOL
Anyway, I use mine more than I thought I would - squeezing spinach for
quiche and not too long ago used it for potatoes. Man, was I impressed! I
knew it would do a good job - but I was surprised by what a * great * job
it does...! Truly. Ricers rule.
