I have the old Cookie Press...and love it! I know though...not EVERYONE does!

Been with PC long enough to know that I don't need the new one to sell it...but was just wondering if anyone is seeing the advantages of the new (for myself personally to get it)?

Thanks for your input....

I know others have problems and it was never an item that I "pushed" too much. Over the years I've been able to figure out how to "work with" the old one...was just wondering if it was worth it to purchase the new one for just my own personal use????Thanks for your thought.....
 
I love this new one just for the potato ricer blade!!!

The first thing I made with my new cookie press was riced potatoes. I was not impressed. Maybe it's because I cooked the potatoes in the DCB instead of boiling them. Guess I'll have to try again!
