It's perfect for mincing shallots, onions and herbs - as well as cleaning and cutting vegetables. The small size and sharp point of this paring knife make it ideal for handheld and other small or intricate cutting chores, such as vegetable peeling or mincing small amounts of parsley. An obligatory kitchen addition, this knife carries its weight mostly in its extremely comfortable handle, which allows you greater control. Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to any cook who owns it. -Arthur Boehm. |

- Tough 18/10 stainless steel
- Three disks allow coarse or fine mash
- Versatile tool pulps potatoes, turnips, yams, carrots, and more
- Model: Browne Cuisipro Stainless-Steel Potato Ricer
Review Browne Cuisipro Stainless-Steel Potato Ricer / Cuisipro 746192:If you've watched a few cooking shows you've probably seen one of these in action. Many professional chefs swear by this method of ricing rather than mashing potatoes. This is an excellent device for straining tomatoes and fruits as well-great for homemade baby food! If you've never experienced a potato ricer, it's not too late to make up for lost time. This simple implement doesn't have a digital clock, doesn't blink when it's ready, and doesn't have a tiny computer chip imbedded in it to do all the work. It takes a bit of pressing and squeezing, but the light and airy potatoes that result will be both memorable and worth the work. Place boiled potatoes in the bowl of the ricer, set it across a saucepan (using the ridge on the head of the bowl), and press the potatoes through the disk-that's it. Stir in a bit of butter and cream, dust with paprika, and enjoy. And be sure to try the ricer with other root vegetables, such as carrots, yams, and turnips. -C. Whitney-Ward. |

Review WMF Profi Plus 11-1/4-Inch Stainless Steel Potato Masher / WMF 1871386030:1871386030 Potato Masher This masher, which has a 3-1/2-inch oval head, is just one of the high-quality Profi Plus tools WMF makes for every conceivable kitchen task. The head's shape and relatively small size make it a precise instrument that avoids the wrist and hand strain extra-large mashers can cause. The head is highly polished on the top but unpolished on the bottom to prevent slippage when crushing potatoes, carrots, or apples-further evidence of Profi Plus tools' careful engineering. Contemporary European in style, the masher is made of 18/10 stainless steel and is beautifully balanced, with a satin-finish, cylindrical handle, a heavy-duty hanging loop, and a sturdy, stiff split shaft. Seamless construction ensures cleaning ease. This tool is dishwasher-safe, durable, and a joy to use for serious cooks and novices alike. -Fred Brack. |

Review Oxo Good Grips Potato Ricer / OXO 26981:You could always mash your potatoes, but if you want a finer, fluffier consistency consider a ricer, favorite tool of fine chefs everywhere.
