OXO Potato Ricer: What Non-Adjustable Means
The OXO 26981 uses a fixed ricer design. Its black front knob rests on a pot or bowl; it does not select coarse or fine settings.
The OXO 26981 is a hand-operated potato ricer with no texture-setting adjustment. Choose it for pressing potatoes through a fixed ricer, not for switching between coarse and fine settings. The small black knob at the front is a pot or bowl rest—not a dial.
Start with the selected style
The Amazon option covered here is Silver, Non-Adjustable Ricer, model 26981, ASIN B00004OCJQ. “OXO potato ricer” alone is not enough to identify that choice: check the selected style before ordering, rather than assuming an adjustable option has the same features.
The photos show a chamber and a round pressing plate attached to the upper handle. Bringing the handles together moves that plate into the chamber. There is no coarse/fine selector on this model. If changing texture settings is your main reason for buying a ricer, this is not the option to select.
Two handles press; the front knob supports
The handles do the pressing. The black piece on the opposite side gives the ricer a resting point on the receiving pot or bowl. That distinction matters when choosing how you will use it: the rim rest does not turn it into a hands-free tool.
Check that the knob sits securely on your receiving vessel before pressing. The pictured metal pot demonstrates the support point; it does not establish compatibility with every rim shape.
Care and the exact item to look for
OXO specifies a stainless steel body and dishwasher-safe care. The hole through the front knob provides a hanging point. Neither feature changes the fixed-setting design.
