NZ Cooking Monster

I have been told in this day and age it is rare for a 21 year old female to find cooking such a hobby, so i decided to write this blog to keep record of my experiences and cooking conquests. Im definatly big on simple but good meals, and of a decent size! Anything I post up will more than likely be good simple and as Kiwi as can be :-) Hopefully along the way I may inspire other to give it a go, who can resist good food...apart from Posh Spice and Nicole Richie!

Potato Ricer



My latest Purchase!
Just read about these in the cuisine mag (all about mmm potatoes)
A few tips that came from the mag:

  1. Potatoes should be in large pieces not cut into smaller pieces (I used to do this to speed up cooking time but always had gluey mash and wondered why)...this is due tot he moisture that then gets into the potato, also leave to drain for quite a while.
  2. Do not over mash the potatoes, using a masher we can over mash due to squashing time and time again, using a potato ricer it is only pushed through once resulting in a perfect consistency.

This ricer came with 2 sizes so I can get perfect consistenct for the occasion!

I will update on my progress with it...Mash for dinner tonight!
