OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Potato Ricer — Soft Non-Slip Handles, Stabilizing Knob

The OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Potato Ricer is a sturdy hand-press tool that produces smooth, lump-free riced potatoes and gently purees cooked vegetables and fruits.

Designed for home cooks who want restaurant-style texture without an electric appliance, this ricer combines a durable stainless-steel basket with OXO's signature soft, nonslip handles. A stabilizing knob lets you rest the tool on bowls or pots for easier pressing, while dishwasher-safe construction makes cleanup straightforward. Use it for classic mashed potatoes, delicate baby purées, or to break down vegetables for soups and sides.

How does the ricer give creamier mashed potatoes than a fork or masher?

Instead of crushing, the ricer forces cooked potato through small holes, producing even strands that yield a silkier mouthfeel when gently folded with butter and liquid. The result is fewer lumps and a lighter texture than many traditional mashers can deliver.

• Stainless-steel perforated basket creates uniform rice-like pieces
• Even pressure distribution from the handle reduces overworking starch
• Use warm potatoes straight from the pot for best results

Is the tool comfortable and easy to use for extended prep?

OXO’s soft, ergonomic handles are shaped to fit the palm and absorb pressure so your hands fatigue less during repeated pressing. A nonslip knob secures the ricer on the rim of a bowl or pot, letting you press with steady force and better leverage.

• Processed rubberized grips provide a slip-resistant hold Wet or dry
• Knob stabilizer keeps the ricer centered for one-handed support
• Long handles add mechanical advantage for easier pressing

What else can I prepare with the OXO potato ricer besides potatoes?

The ricer works well with many cooked vegetables and soft fruits: make smooth carrot or cauliflower purée, prepare yam or sweet potato sides, or create fine-textured baby food without added liquids. It’s also useful for removing excess moisture from cooked greens or for crumbling soft cheeses and ricotta in recipes.

• Rices carrots, cauliflower, yams, and cooked apples or pears
• Prepares single-ingredient baby purées with minimal equipment
• Helps break down hot ingredients for soups and fillings

How do I clean and care for the stainless-steel ricer?

The ricer disassembles easily for rinsing and is safe in the dishwasher for hands-off cleaning. Stainless steel resists staining and odors from food, and the soft handles are made from a durable, dishwasher-safe material for repeat use.

• Rinse immediately after use to remove stuck starch or fibers
• Dishwasher-safe parts for convenient cleanup
• Dry thoroughly to keep the stainless finish bright

This OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Potato Ricer is best for cooks who value texture and simplicity: home chefs making mashed potatoes for family meals, parents preparing small-batch baby purées, and anyone who wants a reliable manual tool for soft vegetables and fruits. It’s compact enough for kitchen drawers, robust enough for regular use, and friendly for users with limited hand strength thanks to its ergonomic grips.
