This patented Ricer has three settings, easily changed with the twist of the dial for your many cooking tasks. While the fine setting is perfect for fluffy mashed potatoes, it's also great for parsnips, carrots, turnips, gnocchi and more. The medium setting is ideal for spaetzle and pressing water out of cooked greens, and the coarse setting is perfect for chunky apple sauce, egg salad and pressing tomatoes for sauce.
