Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable).

FreshForce is made of durable plastic and high-quality stainless steel, with a dual gear mechanism for powerful results with minimum effort.

There are two interchangeable, stainless steel pressing plates – one with large holes, which proved great for the parsnips, and a smaller one for silkier purées.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. When I pushed the lever down, I was shocked by how little force I had to use to push the potato through. Banish lumps and make perfect mashed potatoes without the hand cramps, using the FreshForce Potato Ricer. Otherwise its nice and sturdy - I also would have liked the holes to be slightly smaller but this is a personal thing.It wasn’t an awkward motion or hard to keep a grip on, either, even though I’m notorious for having the worst hand strength in the world. DO NOT make the same mistake that I did, this ricer that is linked is total rubbish, whereas the one that this review is for is great. There really is nothing to dislike about this ricer, and if you only need to make small amounts, this is the one. It consists of a large hopper with small holes or perforated disks and a flat press to force items through those holes. Though the ricer is small in size, the pressing plate holes are large enough to create light, fluffy purées – even fibrous parsnip was smooth.

There's an extra-long handle with secure finger grips, which is easy to hold and gives good leverage, so you can squeeze the vegetables through easily. With that in mind, we took 6 different potato ricers to the task, and found one that we think is most worth the space in might take up. As the ricer comes under a lot of pressure, it needs to be robust and sturdy to stand up to the rigours of pressing and cleaning.With a ricer, the ingredient is added to a chamber, and the hinge is closed to feed the ingredient through the pressing plate.
