I finally broke down and bought a potato ricer. This is probably my new favorite tool in the house.

In the pictures the potato ricer just looked like a strainer of some sort. I didn't realize what it actually was. I found myself at target, stoned, wishing that someone made a really big version of a garlic press so I could strain my stuff after cooking it and there it was.... the potato ricer.

It was then that I felt pretty dumb. Best $10 spent in a long time. :thumbsup:
