What do you see?
The label calls this a potato ricer/fruit press. I've never used it for either of those things.
What I see is a spinach draining tool extraordinaire. It is a rare frozen spinach recipe that doesn't use the spinach after it has been "thawed and very well drained".
When a recipe calls for well drained spinach, I call for the potato ricer. Oh, I used to load it into my colander and squeeze the water out of it as best I could. My hands and colander would be covered in bits of spinach but there'd still be quite a bit of water left in the spinach.
No more.
Clean hands. Very well drained spinach.

Oooh, I need to keep my eyes open for one of these! I HATE trying to press the water out of spinach so this sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! There is a spinach dip I would make if I knew how to strain it well. Now I can!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great use! I bet it would work well for zucchini too... have you tried it?
