Good Grips Stainless Steel Food Mill For Purees,Silver

Our tomato garden was particularly bountiful this year. However, that would usually mean hours of tedious work by the kitchen sink to skin, core, and seed those buckets of tomatoes to make sauces and soups. I had purchased an expensive food mill a few years ago from Williams-Sonoma, but it performed so poorly that I took it back. This year I did some research and decided to try the OXO Good Grips food mill, and it works like a charm. Those tomatoes were all pureed in no time, and clean-up was a breeze. I haven't tried milling other foods yet, but I bet this would be great for applesauce, too. A few important tips: Cook the tomatoes in boiling water 1 - 2 minutes to loosen the skins, and cut any large tomatoes into chunks before you mill them. Make sure the sieve disc at the bottom of the food bowl is inserted so that the peak is pointed upward, or it won't work. As you rotate the handle to crush the tomatoes, occasionally do some backwards turns to redistribute the tomatoes. Work in batches so you don't overfull the food bowl, and rinse out any debris from seeds and skins between each batch. Use a spatula to scrape any thick juices that cling to the underside. For anyone interested, here's a great, easy recipe for Chicken Parmesan Soup that you can make with a pound of tomatoes: Heat 2 Tb olive oil in large soup pot over medium heat. Add 2 cups chopped onion and 1 tsp salt, and cook 8 minutes to soften. Add 1 Tb minced garlic and ½ tsp red pepper flakes, and cook 1 minute. Add 6 cups Swanson’s chicken broth. Add 1 lb pureed tomatoes and 2 Tb tomato paste. Add 2 tsp chopped fresh oregano and 1 Tb chopped fresh basil. Cover pot, and simmer 10 minutes, then puree the soup with an immersion blender. Add 1 lb boneless chicken cut into bite size pieces. Add 8 oz spiral pasta, cover, and simmer 15 minutes until chicken and pasta are cooked. Off heat, stir in ½ cup grated Parmesan until melted. Stir in 4 Tb chopped fresh basil. Season to taste with salt & pepper, and add a little sugar, if needed. Bon appetit!

I have now used my OXO Good Grips food mill twice to make mashed potatoes and I am very pleased with everything about this food mill -- especially for the price. Years ago, I had an inexpensive plastic mill that was difficult to use and collected dust like a magnet. I finally got rid of it. But as I became more and more involved with developing my cooking techniques, I read so much about the importance of having a food mill. Recently I received an email from Williams Sonoma announcing a brand new All Clad food mill for the whopping sum of $150! I was curious, and love All Clad cookware, so I checked it out. It looked really great, but the price tag felt exorbitant. Then I noticed that WS also sold the OXO for literally one-third the price. There was a long list of five-star reviews for the OXO. I compared features and determined that the only big difference, in addition to a slightly larger size for the All Clad, was that the OXO didn't have the little "wiper" blade at the bottom that the All Clad has, making it necessary to occasionally lift the OXO and scrape the bottom with a spatula. Well, for a saving of $100 I figured that little difference was something I was willing to live with. I immediately checked Amazon and found a slightly better price and more 5-star reviews. I have now used it a couple of times for mashed potatoes, using the coarse disk, and they were wonderful. Light and fluffy. The assembly of the OXO was easy and intuitive. The disks even have "this side up" imprinted on them. The turner assembly clicked right in, and the knob on the handle was very comfortable to hold. There was no drag at all as the blade spun around to push the food through the disk and the potatoes were done in less than half the time it normally took me with a recommended potato ricer. That goes to my neighbor. Cleaning and storage are great, too. Everything goes in the dishwasher. The legs, which fit neatly over my All Clad mixing bowls and almost every pot I have, fold under completely for compact storage in my pots and pans drawer. And it even looks really nice, an added bonus. Update: I made a nice batch of applesauce the other night with this mill. Perfection! It was so easy -- and the texture of the applesauce was perfection. This is definitely a quality product -- well designed, ergonomic, and it even looks good. I highly recommend this product and can't wait to use it for more things.

Enfin un moulin à purée qui fonctionne, rien à dire

I brought this for my mom to replace an older version, She is very happy about it and the quality it's made of, it fits good amount of food to process, meaning it will speed up the cooking process.

The product was a shot in the dark purchase. Fortunately it turned out well for me. Needed a tool to assist in extracting pulp from seeds. The main body is made of ABS plastic. It is pretty durable and resistant to acidity. The internal elements are made of chrome plated steel. The build quality is a 6.5/10. It didnt score well here due to the weaker bond between the handle and mill body. I would position the handle a bit lower as it tends to get a bit ticking holding the mill while turning the paddle.

Fantastic choice, works great, my tomato sauce comes out perfect, easy to use
