Granite Ware Stainless Steel Deluxe Food Mill, 2-Quart

The wholes on the straining plate are little large.Seeds of tomato are not properly strained but entering to the pulp.

Muy buena calidad, algo chico pero funcional

This is works beautifully. Great price and quality.

I bought this long before canning season so had to wait a while to submit a review. Mill works great for apple sauce/apple butter. I boil apples whole, spoon into the mill and grind out the sauce. Then, I put pulp and spices into a crock pot to simmer until sauce or butter consistency. So easy and quick. No pre-peeling, no de-seeding necessary.To get maximum pulp, I back- and forward- spin until gone. Just scrape and scrap the seeds, stems and whatever is left of the peeling. Over all I had very little waste - actually, I canned the waste parts by request of my daughter so I had no waste. Comfortable to hold and rests nicely on the sides of a bowl. Only challenge is to switch out disks or remove them to wash. Requires a lot of muscle and grit to release; the metal on metal screeching is akin to fingernails on a chalkboard, but it eventually comes apart. Otherwise, easy to mill and easy to wash.

I bought this back in September because I didn’t want to hassle with peeling and seeding tomatoes again this year. I held off on writing a review because I wanted to have used it plenty of times first. I can say that this has made things so much easier- I read some reviews where people said it wouldn’t sieve out tomato seeds and I’ve found that to be untrue. I’ve used this for tomatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin so far and have had excellent results. I wonder if some people have had their food fall on the outside of the mill and gotten seeds in their end product- this has happened to me. Overall would recommend, makes canning things so much easier and I wish I had bought this for before I made my applesauce and grape jam.

My mother-in-law used it to strain tomatoes and said it was almost as good as the one she had for over 30 years. That’s a ringing endorsement from her!
