For the past 4 hours my hands have been painfully cramping up! It's been
awful. They charley horse and disfigure beyond my control!

I couldn't figure out why. It just dawned on me!!!

For lunch I made a large batch of mashed potatoes and for all the time and
energy it took to hand crank them through the food mill, my hands are now
cramping up from working "unworked" muscles to excess!?!

I don't make mashed potatoes often enough, obviously.

Anyone had this happen to them?

I get pain in my shoulder from it...not my hands, but I'm not surprised
that you did..it's very possible.

Why don't you just get one of those mashers? That's what I use and it
doesn't cause my trouble. Now come canning season my hands will cramp. But
I'm spending days on end peeling apples and pears.

Not yet with mashing potatoes, but definitely with other, similar
repetitive "manual" stuff, like putting together a shelving unit that
has umpteen bolts, nuts and lockwashers to torque down, using a "hand-
driven" screwdriver (remember those?).

But then again, did you add baking powder to the mashed potatoes? If
so, and if you also feel bloated or perhaps "lighter" or more "fluffy"
than usual, I'd definitely suspect the baking powder. Could be a sign
of a latent allergy. Keep an eye on it, but usually such symptoms pass.

How were the potatoes? ;-)

That must have been an *awful* lot of mashed potato, or your 'food mill' is
a piece of crap and needs to be replaced :-)


I use a hand held masher. Works great, and no need to update it every
couple of years ;-)

Michael,

Wish I HAD a beer!

It was quite a PITA. I spent equal effort keeping the mill steady over the
bowl while cranking it. Next thing, the bowl is full and I'm holding the
mill in one hand and cranking it with the other in mid air. I should've
mashed them back into the pot!

BUM Food Mill!!!

On a bright note, they were delicious. Should've skipped the jarred "turkey
sodium" gravy.

I found a recipe for mashed potato pancakes on foodTV for tomorrow's
breakfast. Should be interesting.

PeterL,

I used two pounds of Yukon Golds. (5 medium sized, quartered). The mill is
small so I could only mill 3 quarters at a time. Still a slow process
cranking, back-cranking, cranking. It probably would have been easier using
it over the flat bottomed pot rather than the teetering mixing bowl!

I've got the modern potato ricer and a handheld masher. Next batch I'll put
the ricer to work.

The recipe I found at foodTV:

http://www.tinyurl.com/3dnabk


It's about identical, a little less flour and more onion than Mr.
Breakfast's version.

I visited Mrbreakfast.com and went over the reviews.

I'll make the Mr. Breakfast recipe.

Thanks again,

Get a good food processor. :-)

Or a meat grinder...... -> ducking and running but not convinced that
that would not work! <lol>

When we actually ate mashed spuds many moons ago, mom and I used a ricer
and a stick blender.

Om,

When you think about it in terms of cleanup... the handheld masher wins!!!

The potato ricer is the easy second place finisher.

Thanks for helping me see it from a PRACTICAL point of view!

....meat grinder?!?

Sorry for a late reply but the usual implement around my house
is an old-fashioned pastry blender (sort of loops of stiff wire
attached to both ends of a handle, see www.kitchen-universe.com
for a picture.) I suppose you might get cramp with that too and
an electric mixer does work.

James,

I BOUGHT one of those last year after watching a TV chef cutting cold
butter into a biscuit mix. Went from the store to the junk drawer.

Mom used an electric variable speed handheld mixer with the two beaters. I
remember THAT made quick work of mashed potatoes AND easy cleanup.

If I any intention of becoming a potato puff, I'd buy one.

In taste tests the potato ricer made better mashed spuds...next the food
mill and the potato masher came in third.

With an electric mixer you can over whip the spuds and get a snot-like
substance...been there done that.

Ah... So you might think it's mashed potatoes, but it'snot...

There's nothing like a hand pastry cutter for pastry. I love mine;
actually, I have a wire one (Mom's) and my own (flat bladed). Fingers
warms the butter (not good) and two knives is tedious and iffy. Plus,
I use the pastry cutter to dice eggs for egg salad.

Geez, Andy, are your mashed spuds atomised? I don't have any trouble
mashing the damn things with a fork, right in the saucepan, to an
acceptable consistency. Mind you, I wouldn't usually be making as
much as you did in this case. Probably just two medium spuds. And, to
me, "acceptable consistency" doesn't mean you can pour them from a
jug. ;-)


Cheers, Phred.

Phred,

The food mill creates very light, almost airy mashed potatoes (like the
ricer does). It's after I add the melted butter and cream cheese and warm
milk that it all sinks down and comes together into a smooth rich
consistency.

Forget the milk, and the cream cheese.

I inherited this one.
I found it when going thru a box of my late Aunt's stuff. :-(

And yes, it's a very EXCELLENT garlic press.
I hated presses until I met this one. It does a seriously good job with
no waste.

I have an old one that has a rectangular chute and finer holes. It did a
better job of juicing rather than mincing garlic.
