Ensure the ingredients are cooked until very soft. Cut larger pieces into smaller, manageable chunks before placing them in the chamber. Make sure the handles are aligned correctly for optimal leverage.

Soak the ricer in warm water after use. Use a small brush to dislodge any stubborn food particles from the perforations before washing.
