OXO Good Grips Potato Ricer and Large Salad Spinner - Smooth Results

In this review the combo of the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Potato Ricer and the OXO Good Grips Large Salad Spinner is assessed as a practical pair for everyday cooks who want consistently better textures with minimal fuss. The biggest reason to buy is simple: the ricer produces uniformly fluffy mashed vegetables and the spinner removes excess water quickly, so salads stay crisp and mash is light. Both tools feel sturdy and user-friendly, making them useful additions for anyone who prepares vegetables, baby food or homemade gnocchi.

Key Features

• Stainless steel ricer body: A durable construction gives solid leverage and reliable performance when pressing potatoes, carrots or cauliflower.
• Soft-grip handles: Comfortable, non-slip handles reduce hand fatigue and make it easier to squeeze for larger batches of mashed potatoes.
• Non-slip knob base: The ricer sits securely on pots or bowls to provide stable leverage while pressing for consistent results.
• 6.22 qt spinner capacity: The large bowl and 4.95 qt basket allow washing and drying generous amounts of greens in a single cycle.
• Brake button on spinner: An easy stop control lets users halt the spinner instantly to check greens or remove the basket safely.
• Dishwasher safe components: Both tools clean easily, with the ricer and spinner designed to accept dishwasher cleaning for fast cleanup.

Who It's For

The pair is ideal for home cooks who value texture control - anyone who makes mashed potatoes, gnocchi, avocados, baby food or tossed salads will appreciate the combination. The ricer is especially useful for those who prefer fluffy, lump-free mash without electric tools, while the spinner handles larger batches of greens for meal prep.

Those who seldom prepare fresh greens or mash vegetables might find these tools redundant, and very small kitchens with limited storage could prefer a more compact single-purpose gadget. Professional kitchens that require industrial-volume output should look for commercial-grade equipment instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Both pieces are easy to clean and dishwasher safe, saving time after food prep.

Cons

• Not intended for commercial high-volume use; best suited to home kitchens.
• The spinner and ricer each take some storage space, which could be a consideration in very small kitchens.
