What's really fun about this post is my husband broke the digital camera and I'm going to have to describe it.
It's metal. It looks like a giant garlic press in that it has two hinged pieces, one of which is a basket with holes and the other is a plunger-type thing to push something through. But it's about a foot long and old and painted red. It's too big for a garlic press.
Any ideas without a photo?
The reason I'm posting here is some folks in "treasures" collect old kitchen utensils.

I love riced potatoes, but you are right Kim, it's a lot of work to use one of those cone ones. They're great for making apple sauce though.

I actually use my ricer as a garlic press for roasted garlic. Nice and big so I can press the whole head .

I had never heard of potato ricers until my Husband Dear's (maiden) aunts used one. Actually, they made me use it, and it's an old-fashioned thing that works like a pestal. You put the whole potato in a bowl looking thing with holes in in, then you have to mush it with a stick looking thing. Lotsa work. |

Wow, Robin! Did you sneak into my house and take a picture! It looks exactly like that.
Is it old? I picked mine up at the thrift store incase anyone might like it in their kitchen collection.

That is so funny, Allison! Just the other day I was having a nostalgic discussion about potato ricers with my mom. We were talking about kitchen things that you just don't see anymore. How fun that you found one!!!
XOXO, Libbie

I have to agree with everyone else -- potato ricer. Where on earth did you get it? |

Yay! I looked up potato ricers online and that's what it appears to be. As soon as I can get a photo, I'll see if nyone wants it. It looks older to me.

I agree with the potato ricer too...maybe if you looked up kitchen tools online you could find out for sure? Let us know when you do!!
