Product Information

They’re good to use instead of a masher as potatoes are full of starch and if you mash them too much, you can overwork that starch and end up with glue, making them horrible and gummy (and don’t ever use a hand-mixer, whatever Ina Garten might say). If these sound like deal-breakers to you, we are sure another one of the many mashers on our list will be better suited to your preferences. The potato ricer from Jamie Oliver is perfect for creating smooth, pureed potatoes and root vegetables, with interchangeable plates for coarse or fine ricing. There are few things more delicious, comforting or simple to make than a great dollop of buttery, smooth mashed potatoes!

I like colcannon for an interesting mash, or for something special mash with truffle oil, taste as you're making it, to get the flavour balance right for you. Remove with a slotted spoon and toss with melted butter and finely grated Parmesan, my Hero tomato sauce (or leftover sauce from a stew, which you can see in the picture), then finely grate over a little Parmesan, to serve. If opting for flavour combo 2, peel in a good few strips of clementine zest with a speed-peeler – you won’t eat these but they’ll add amazing flavour. We also like that the entire masher is well sized and will conveniently fit inside pots and pans of almost any shape and size.The only downside to the Zulay Kitchen potato masher is that it is somewhat less versatile, so it may not be the right masher for you if you want to make baby food, mash other vegetables, or prefer a smooth mash. Colcannon: Add 6 chopped spring onions and 85g of shredded, cooked green cabbage to the mash when you add the butter. If you are looking for a potato masher or ricer with a luxury quality build, we recommend Chef’n FreshForce masher. To defrost, allow the mash to come up to room temperature then place in a heatproof bowl, cover with tin foil and place over a pan of very gently simmering water until hot all the way through.

Apart from the stainless-steel pressing discs, this ricer is made from hard plastic with a silicone grip handle and grooves at one end that let you rest it on the side of the bowl.

It features smaller holes in the centre and larger holes on the outside, facilitating a more consistent, smoother mashed potato in the end. Wash the potatoes, then pierce with a sharp knife and cook in the microwave on high power (800W) for 25 minutes, or until cooked through, turning over halfway.

However, the holes are smaller than most, which meant it gave the smoothest mash of all the ricers, but also made it the trickiest to clean – thankfully, it’s dishwasher-safe. It makes lump-free, smooth mash that easily turns into fluffy mashed potatoes with the addition of milk and butter. Also, it could be trickier to clean by hand and even though it claims it is safe for non-stick cookware, it has fairly sharp edges.
