I used to have one of these - excellent kitchen tool (must admit though I never knew this is what it was called!! ;D)  Unfortunately, it seemed to disappear during a move . . Just be sure to get one with 2 or 3 interchangeable bases


It's called a Mouli,well that's what I call it :D :D

We have a ricer. It does do great mash, but I've not used it since having a TMX

I use mine for making gnocchi.  It's easy to clean and comes with several different plates with varying holes.  I guess there are different models out there that are harder to clean.

I think Moulinex is/was a brand name, and Mouli became what they were known as...we had one growing up, and it had attachments for mashing veges and also for mincing meat.  It was a bit more "rustic" looking than that shiny one though.  ;)

It did do lovely mash but was a pain to clean.  I think it was cast iron or something too - it was heavy to use and had to dry it really well.

This was the potato ricer I had - much cheaper than the mouli.

Judy, mine looks like yours :)
Mine is easy to clean because I clean mine in the dishwasher. ;)
My first one was metal, but it bent and broke. I have had this one for quite a few years, and it is still going strong.

I've got the same one ES & Judy. I got mine about 6 years ago for around $35 but occasionally Aldi stock one which is very similar if not the same for around $10 I think.

Thank you.

I am happy with TM mash, thinking whether to buy one or not :)
