MIU Stainless-Steel Tomato/Vegetable Mill Review

MIU Stainless-Steel Tomato/Vegetable Mill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Very easy to put together and easy to use. Three types of blades makes this food mill versatile for straining tomato seeds to mashing potatos. The price is unbeatable, the size is convenient for single person or small family. The construction is sturdy and simple, which i like because it means less parts to break, put together, and clean. The food mill is great because it purees and strains the food at once. No more fighting with strainers or losing your purees through transfering them between food processer and strainer. I decided to buy this foodmill after realizing a decent sized chinois strainer with pestle (yes, sometimes you have to buy the pestle separately) can cost the same and often times more. This mill has been a real pleasure to use and I am grateful of the investment.
NOTE: THE BLADE-PLATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MILL IS CONCAVED AND SHOULD POINT TOWARD YOU, IE, POINT UPWARD. this way the rotating blade will slide snugly over the plate. It should be very easy to turn. If you find the rotating blade hard to turn, or hard to fit into place, you've probably have the 'blade-plate' upside down. Device only have 3 pieces when put together, not too many variation as to how to put it together...

Using the food mill unlocks the aromas and textures of fresh vegetables and herbs, enhancing the flavor of any dish. The 2-Quart capacity is ideal for preparing fresh tomato or pesto sauce, applesauce, mashed potatoes, peas or yams. This larger size is ideal for home or restaurant use. Health conscious parents can use this food mill to create their own baby purees that are chemical and preservative free.It includes 3 different sized attachments for mashing, milling or ricing.The food mill is supported by foldable legs. The legs help to stabilize the food mill over pots or bowls. A quick turn of the large crank handle forces food through the blades and directly into a pot or bowl.The entire mill is made of stainless steel and is dishwasher safe.

Rosle Food Mill/Passetout with 2 Disks
This food mill is beautifully made and everything functions very smoothly. The machining and quality of the steel is excellent. The handle works very smoothly and it can be placed securely over a mixing bowl to work. It is typical of all the things this company makes: very high quality, esthetically pleasing, well-conceived and a bit expensive. To get a complete set of disks, you have to purchase the others separately, but the two that come with it are useful enough, depending on what it is used for. I hardly use the food processor any more, preferring more "primitive" but satisfying methods like this and mortar and pestle.

KitchenAid FVSFGA Fruit/Vegetable Strainer and Food Grinder for Stand Mixers Review

KitchenAid FVSFGA Fruit/Vegetable Strainer and Food Grinder for Stand Mixers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This gizmo makes the shortest work of making applesauce you ever imagined. You slice the apples, cook in a large pan with a small amount of water until they are soft. Then you push the apple mush, skins, seeds, core, stems, etc. in the top of the food grinder, and out the sieve part comes pure applesauce, out the end, comes the seeds, skin and stem. It takes maybe 10 minutes to process a 16qt pot of cooked apples.
I usually get every burner on my stove going, heat the pots of apples, process the mush into sauce, then can the lot. The canning part takes the longest.
Anyway if you can apple sauce, you need this tool.

Roma Food/Veg Strainer Review

Roma Food/Veg Strainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used this Roma Vegetable Strainer for making apple sauce twice. Previously I have used the Victorio strainer (very nice and sturdy, but no longer available) and Back to Basics (stronger than the Roma in my opinion, but not as good as the Victorio - it had a lot of parts to lose and was not rust resistant). The Roma is easy to put together and seems to be rust resistant, but is weak, flimsy, unstable, and doesn't hold on my counter well with either the suction or the clamp.Things I like about the Roma Strainer:
* Pieces attach easily without nuts and bolts
* Seem to be rust resistant (The Back-to-Basics strainer that I bought 15 years ago had some parts that would rust)
* Plastic cone that takes the waste (seeds, core and skin) away is farther from the sauce dispenser, making it easier to have various shapes of bowls.Things I dislike about the Roma Strainer:
* The suction cup does not hold on my smooth quartz counter-top. Nice try, but it doesn't work.
* I have a bull-nose (rounded edge) to my counter-top so the clasp doesn't work very well either - it isn't long enough to reach around the bull-nose. So, it starts wiggling fairly quickly and isn't very stable, with no way to attach it more firmly.
* The handle is much harder to turn than the old Victorio (purchased 30 years ago) or Back-to-basics (purchased 16 years ago) strainers I have previously used. As I turn the handle, the vertical support seems to wobble or bend a bit, as though it isn't very strong.
* The handle seems a bit flimsy.
* Turning the handle is stiffer with more resistance than with the other strainers I have used before. (You tire more quickly.
* I have to run the waste product through 2 x as there is a lot of good applesauce that goes out with it.
The materials and workmanship are poorer quality. Some of the features (fewer parts to get lost) are nicer. Overall, though, my experience is that it is not nearly as good or as easy to use as the other strainers I have used in the past.

Oxo 1071478 Good Grips Food Mill Review

Oxo 1071478 Good Grips Food Mill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We do a lot of home canning and preserving and purchased this mill to help with some of the chores associated with putting away pumpkin butter, grape butter, pumpkin puree and other foods. This was the only tool we found that helped get rid of the seeds and save the pulp of the grapes for our grape spread. We also own one of the large food strainers (Victorio or Roma type model) and this did a better job than that large, expensive strainer for that kind of work.
Things I really like:
--the "legs" of the strainer on the pot are coated with a rubberized surface that helps to keep them from slipping off the edge of the pot you are using it over. The handle seems to have the same coating and is pleasant to hold.
--also with the legs, they fold for storage, but I have found that folding them down around the sides of a 4-cup pyrex measuring cup also helps to hold it stable while using it.
--I like the white enamel (I think that's what it is) coating on the outside of the pot. Very attractive.
--Easy to clean. If I clean this immediately after using, I can practically just rinse it in hot water and let it dry and it looks great.
--handle assembly is cleverly designed and feels sturdy and secure when using it.
--comes with 3 disks for different jobs. We use the most coarse disk for pumpkin and apples and it works beautifully. (Note, we do take the seeds out of our pumpkins before cooking and straining). We used the medium disk with our grapes this year and it did a nice job, but a few seeds did sneak through. Next year we will try the fine disk.
My ONLY quibble with this piece of equipment is that it is not bigger. As I mentioned above, it fits nicely over a 4-cup pyrex measuring cup. I'd be thrilled if it was larger. The pot itself probably doesn't hold more than 4 cups. You *can* use it over a large pot, the legs will simply hold it there for you. It's the size of the pot itself I am talking about.
