I'd like a decent potato ricer

[haaammit]

I had a cheap one, but more potato came up the sides than came out the bottom, so I've thrown it away.

I'd like to get another one (a decent one), as I think riced potato works better than just mashed for cottage/shepherd's pie etc.

Are there any decent potato ricers out there? Many thanks in advance

I have this one. Bought it a couple of weeks ago and must confess I haven't got around to using it yet. It seems very sturdy though. Not a bit plasticky for a plastic item

I bought a stainless steel one from M & S a couple of years ago and it is now one of my indispensable kitchen gadgets. Just had a look on their website but they only seem to have a small version of the same one there. Dunno if the shops still stock the bigger ones.

Best gadget I ever got. Makes such a huge difference. Wouldn't be without one know. I guess I was lucky got a cheaply one and it's great.

I got this one from Lakeland link

They've also got metal one's for about £20

Most of the metal ones have their faults. Usually that's in the form of handles which are really uncomfortable (especially designs like the Masterclass) but it could equally be a poorly-fitting or badly-made 'plunger' (I'm talking about you, Kitchen Craft) or plates which buckle and rust.

I reckon that the Kuhn Rikon ricer is the best one on the market, but if you want really amazing mash then I'd advise you to invest in something like this.
