Just bought my first ricer on Monday. Had a gift certificate from Christmas and the store was going out of business so I figured I’d better get there and use it quick,

I got it not to rice ‘taters, but to squeeze greens. We grow a wide variety of greens over the summer and I like to freeze them. It’s a pain to try to squeeze the water out after blanching by hand. This should make things easier.

That’s exactly what I use mine for!

I tried it once on potatoes, but I didn’t see the benefit as opposed to the work.

But it’s great for squeezing out steamed spinach, when you want to use it in a quiche or other recipe.

I use a ricer when making herbal preparations. Line it with muslin, cheescloth, or a clean hankie; pour the concoction through, then fold down the cloth and use the ricer to squeeze. It gets every possible bit of liquid out!
