This week’s edition of the Notebook falls into the “Who Knew” category of kitchen gadgetry. I am constantly learning new tricks of the trade from you all, and a new favorite involves this little gadget: the potato ricer! Something of a cross between an over-sided garlic press and a Play-Doh toy, I first used a potato ricer to make simple mashed potatoes. The result was the creamiest, most delicious bowl of potatoes I’ve ever made! Try this technique out on Judy Sprague’s<\/b> Blue Ribbon Creamy Mashed Potatoes<\/a><\/b> recipe.<\/p>\n

Desiree Wilmoth<\/b> of Kinsman, OH suggests using this handy-dandy implement to shape dough for her Blue Ribbon Ham Dumpling Soup<\/a><\/b>. I tried it and it worked like a dream! I loved the uniformity of the dumplings and it sure made quick work of things. <\/p>\n

Since my potato ricer epiphany, I’ve been looking for suggestions of other creative ways to put my new friend to use. Wisconsinite Brenda Vander Zanden<\/a><\/b> uses hers to tackle one of my least favorite kitchen tasks: pressing spinach dry! It contains the mess and is far more effective than any other method I’ve tried. Similarly, I’ve been told that ricers are a great way to squeeze moisture from potato slices before deep-frying. No more splatters!<\/p>\n

Thanks to you fine gadget gurus for your suggestions – I can’t wait to hear more!<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
