Dorothy's Notes:

I found a very good tip for a potato ricer. I used it to wring the liquid out of sauerkraut that I was using in Ruben Sandwiches and it worked perfect.

Directions

Try using your ricer to wring excess moisture out of sauerkraut or frozen spinach. Just be sure to do this in batches to drain all the moisture out that you can.

This is the first time I have ever really had a nice dry sauerkraut for making Ruben Sandwiches and the sandwich was not soggy at all.

You can also use the ricer to mash other soft foods, like avocado for a smooth guacamole.

I use my Ricer to squeeze moisture out of grated Zucchini.

I know what you mean, Amie, I have often wondered the same thing. Thanks, Bob, I love tips that actually work and this one does.
Joanie, great idea to add. I could never get Zucchini dry enough.
