What is a "ricer"?

A ricer is a kitchen tool used for processing cooked vegetables, particularly potatoes, into a fine, fluffy texture. It typically consists of a chamber with small holes at the bottom, and a handle or lever attached to a plunger or pressing mechanism. To use a ricer, cooked vegetables are placed into the chamber, and the handle is pressed or squeezed, forcing the vegetables through the small holes to create small, rice-sized pieces.
