This potato ricer has two discs. There is a disc with small holes, and a disc with large holes so that I can choose which size I need for the task at hand. I find this ricer really does help make wonderful mashed potatoes. After I have cooked the potatoes, I can push them through the ricer and this helps mash them easily.  In addition to making mashed potatoes, this ricer would also be handy for making homemade spaghetti or other noodles. A little bit of the pasta dough could be put inside the ricer and then the noodles could be extruded out of it. This potato ricer would also be good for making baby food as well. I also like using this ricer for squeezing out excess water from spinach or other greens if I am using them in a dish where the excess moisture could be a problem. My potato ricer is white on the outside so it would go well with any kind of kitchen color scheme. I typically keep mine stored in a drawer and do not leave it out, but it would look fine in a tool caddy if it is a kitchen item that is used frequently. It has enough weight and heft to easily handled the foods that I use it for. I also think it's very easy to clean. I will rinse off any big particles of potatoes or other food that left in the chamber or on the discs. I will  then usually put it in the dishwasher, or wash it by hand if I already have a sink full of hot soapy water ready.  I received a discount on this product in exchange for an honest review.
