Default Do I need to buy a ricer for my cauliflower?

Or can I use a Ninja or regular food processor? My apologies if this has been covered. I tried searching.

I put my cauliflower in my blender with water to cover. It processes nicely into rice sized pieces.

I tried to mash cooked cauliflower by hand last week with a potato masher, and it basically came out riced.

Yes, this happened to me, too. I was trying to make mashed cauliflower. That didn't work out, but I learned what I was doing was good for ricing.

I'd use a stick blender or food processor for mashed. Use a blender or processor like that filled with water over the cauli to make rice grains.

I don't add water to my food processor when ricing cauliflower. I'm trying to make something more like fried rice or couscous than steamed rice. I simply "pulse" raw cauliflower till it is the size of grains of rice or couscous, then stir fry it to cook.
