OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Adjustable Potato Ricer: features, fit and limits

One ricer, three built-in textures selected by a dial. Here's what OXO documents, how cleaning works, and who should skip it.

Short answer

OXO's 3-in-1 Adjustable Potato Ricer has three textures built into one rotating disk, so there are no separate plates to store. OXO lists it as dishwasher safe, made of stainless steel with soft non-slip handles, with a groove that rests on bowls and pots, and says it comes apart for cleaning. It suits people who want smooth mash and an occasional second use like squeezing cooked greens. Skip it if you only make rustic mash or cook for big crowds.

Good fit if

  • Smooth, lump-free mashed potatoes without hunting for loose plates
  • Small kitchens that want one ricer with more than one texture
  • Occasional extra jobs like squeezing water from cooked greens

Not ideal if

  • Rustic, skin-on mash — a classic masher does that with less cleanup
  • Large batches for many guests, where a food mill may be faster

What makes it "3-in-1"

Most ricers come with one fixed plate, or with loose plates you swap. OXO's adjustable model builds the options into a single rotating disk: you pick a consistency by lining up a notch on the disk with icons on the ricer 1. OXO describes the range as fine to coarse, changed with a twist 2, and notes that because the disks are built in, there are no extra parts to find 3.

What OXO documents

Feature What OXO says
Textures Selected by rotating the built-in disk 1
Material Stainless steel 3
Handles Soft, non-slip grip 3
Resting on a pot A groove lets it sit on the edge of bowls and pots 3
Cleaning Comes apart; dishwasher safe 3
Uses Mashed potatoes, squeezing water out of cooked greens, pressing tomatoes for sauce 3

How you use it

From OXO's use-and-care sheet 1:

  1. Choose the texture by lining up the notch on the disk with an icon.
  2. Boil firm vegetables such as potatoes or carrots until tender, then cut them into pieces that fit.
  3. Rest the ricer on a bowl or saucepan, lift the top handle, fill the barrel and squeeze the handles together.

OXO also notes that soft fruit can be cut to fit and eggs can go in whole 1 — handy for egg salad.

Cleaning, step by step

The disk comes off for cleaning. OXO's instructions: line up the notch with the arrow icon, hold the disk with your thumb under the handles and pull one side off. To refit it, line up the notch again, press it into place and rotate it clockwise to lock 1.

Limitations

  • Small batches. Like any ricer, you press one hopper-load at a time; for big gatherings OXO itself suggests a food mill handles larger batches 2.
  • More to clean than a masher. Even with a removable disk, there's a hopper, a plunger and a disk to rinse.
  • Bulk. Long handles take more drawer space than a flat masher.
  • Not for rustic mash. If you like skin-on, chunky potatoes, a classic masher is the simpler tool — see our ricer vs. masher comparison.

Checklist: before you buy

  • Do you prefer smooth mash over rustic? If not, a masher is enough.
  • Will you use a second texture (gnocchi, egg salad, squeezed greens)? That's the point of the adjustable disk 3.
  • Measure your utensil drawer — the long handles need room.
  • Is a dishwasher part of your routine? OXO lists it as dishwasher safe 3.
  • Are you usually cooking for a crowd? Consider a food mill instead 2.
