My Review

It's easy to switch between the three different discs, just take one out and pop another back in. The problem I had with this ricer is when I put a potato into the well and pressed down, the potato got all smashed and stuck to the disc instead of coming out of the holes and I used the one with the largest holes. I boiled the potatoes so that they were fork tender like I always do and have always been able to use my hand masher but this just didn't work for me at all. 

 I even tried boiling the potatoes a little longer and they got water logged and still didn't go through the holes. Instead the potatoes started coming up through the top because the potatoes get stuck in the disc and won't go through the holes and everything backs up from there. 

I thought maybe I wasn't applying enough pressure to the handle so I had my husband try and the same thing happened to him. I cannot recommend this product after the experience I had with it. 

I give this product 2 out of 5 stars. 

I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest review.
