why are so many of the reviews for the cuisipro potato ricer ? Is this a cuisipro ricer or is it a browne foodservice ricer, or are the the same

It appears that Cuisipro is or was a brand name used by Browne Ltd, and this ricer is now being sold under "Browne". Mine, bought in 2002, is in a box labeled Cuisipro with Browne Ltd in the fine print. It looks like that has changed in the meantime. (I've now switched to Cooks Illustrated current favorite ricer, a plastic model made by RSVP.)

Hi, I'm not sure. I purchased this to make spaetzle, which is a German noodle. It works great, plus it has extra discs. I believe it is Browne Foodservice. Hope it helps. It is sturdy and does the job.

Beautiful: The DE103 has separate setting for Brown and sticky rice. I've had this rice cooker for about a year and I can't say anything bad, It's a wonderful rice cooker.

I have rumatoid arthritis in the beginning stages and the ricer has nice sized grips. I use the potatoe ricer with no problem. I really like the versatility of this product. It was a good buy for me. I'm sorry I don't know any thing about the food mill.

We have never used our spaetzle maker as a potato ricer, but my wife says that is one of the advertised uses. She feels comfortable with the device being used as such. Good luck!

You don't see recent reviews because the people that have one are too busy feeding people to take the time to review the Cuisinart CSK 150. I under used it this past Saturday, fixing French toast to order for breakfast for ten. Had already fried the bacon and sausage. This pan is great, every time I use it somebody will ask, "where did you get that great pan". Some AM's it might be bacon and potatoes at the same time! Some nights its just dinner for two, pork medallions with mushrooms!! Also cleans up very easily. Happy cooking!

Good question, Raymond. Perhaps I don't need to think of it in terms of the way I think of a traditional rice cooker. FYI for the masses - Cuisinart returned my phone call to let me know that I should *not* use the pressure cooker for full-day rice cooking. As said, though, it's a moot point!

I think it is smart to get a new rice cooker. They are not expensive and all the brands are about the same.

I've only seen a demo of the Phillips. I have Living Basix. They seem to do the same thing. We are very happy with our choice. Mainly we use it for fries and it is great for that.

For the same reason Williams & Sonoma are way more expensive. Your paying for branding. Some things are worth the price line knives and pans but when it comes to a rice cooker I'm sure they both use the same micro controllers programmed differently to achieve the same goal

it is great for quinoa, just treat it like cooking rice. It's that simple. I haven;t tried it with brown rice but I think it should be the same.However, I think you shouldn't leave cooked rice or quinoa in the rice cooker for 24 hours to keep it warm (as claimed by the company). I found it yellow my rice or quinoa. Otherwise, it's all very good.

I have had my Tortilla keepers for several years so I no longer have the paperwork, but they seem to be made of terra cotta. I have 3 and use them for everything from meats, vegetables, creamed potatoes, and pasta to pancakes, scrambled eggs, French fries, and tortillas. They are great for chilled dishes like potato salad, pasta salad, etc. They are large and best used when you are cooking for a large group, not just for one or two people, although they can be used for small meals. I love mine and use one often for me and my daughter by combining different foods in one bowl such as fried okra and fried mushrooms. The possibilities are endless.

I hadn't noticed the comments on the cooker not being suitable for brown/other rices. I typically steam/cook brown rice and it seems to do okay. Some people might comment that the rice is perhaps a little stiff, (its not crunchy by any stretch, but sometimes it seems a bit underdone), but I find the brown rice is very edible. I've also steamed quinoa successfully.

I've been totally happy with this potato ricer so far. Used it a lot to make potato salad this summer.

It has been a while since I used Uncle Ben's rice, hard to compare the two because I cooked it in a regular pot. This rice I have only used a rice cooker. I will say this rice is real good and I enjoy eating it as well as saving time and a burner by using the rice cooker. Hope this helps!

I just bought a Cuisinart Elite 14 FP yesterday. I will post my feedback once I put it to the test. I also subscribe to Consumer Reports and Cuisinart rated #1 on food processors.

it is PRO CHEF BRAND....HOWEVER&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;nothing personal to the brand, but I would not bother with this unit. I am an avid tea drinker..9 to 12 cups per day so I use a lot of hot water, and this machine although certainly the prettiest in terms of stainless steel finish, it's not that great. Mine worked for about a day and then stopped all together. Wouldn't even turn on...After some research I discovered that the best brand for a Ready to use, ...drinking water... heater..., in terms of quality, durability, ease of use, etc....was an Zojirushi (sp?) made in Japan. It is about twice the price but it works about twice as well; it has never let me down since I bought it. Amazon sells it...search model number CD-WBC40-TS. My wife and I have both commented that our Zojirushi is one of the best kitchen appliance related purchases we have ever made. It is super convenient to have hot drinkable water on demand without having to microwave it, or boil it on the stove.

I gave this product 5 stars. If they appear exactly the same, it may just be the people reviewing it. I love this rice cooker.
