I have a masher that kind of looks like if you held your fingers at a right angle to your hand. I have two ricers. I got mine when I started making cheesecake and needed to strain cottage cheese. One of my ricers is not strong enough for potatoes really, but, it has more holes for things to strain through. I have an OXO ricer, it plenty strong enough. It only has holes in the bottom of the basket, for that reason, it takes a long time to rice a pot of potatoes.
Sometimes, I like a few lumps and the skins on, sometimes I want no lumps. I like different tastes. Sometimes I put chopped Basil in and sometimes Garlic, sometimes just butter. All of those combinations with skins and lumps and without skins or lumps.
Taste buds hate to be bored.
I would really like one like the one above.
