Cuisipro Deluxe Food Mill,Silver

I recently cut back my hours as a waiter where I get a free, amazing dinner 5 nights a week. Now as a student with no money who loves food, I had to get back to meal prep and killer weeknight dinners. When ATK dropped an article about the best mashed potatoes recently, I bit the bullet and picked this up on their recommendation. A good sale helped push me over the edge!I knew they joys of mashed potatoes through a food mill from work, as my boss makes the worlds best. Welp, now I do too! A little rosemary, roasted garlic and crème fraiche? Don’t mind if I do! It’s been fun playing around. And this summer when I want to process garden tomatoes for sauce! Can’t wait to get all the seeds out and jar up some summer for upcoming cold seasons!Onto the device itself: it’s sleek looking, doesn’t take up too much space (compared to commercial ones at least), and the smooth stainless cleans up quickly with handwashing. With a couple rounds of practice, i managed to make the best mashers I’ve ever made quickly and easily using this food mill.The plastic scraper on the bottom is pretty meh in design and annoying to take on and off. I may just toss it in a drawer and forget about it. It seems like it will break within a few years as it gets more brittle. At least they sell the replacement part now. But overall, I think this thing works great!I could see how some cooks might find it cumbersome to use on the stovetop, and it does take some coordination to not have it rock all over the place when turning. That said, being of average height and strength, I have no problems with it.

Perfect food mill for making velvety mashed potatoes. I love the pot grip and the sweeping arm underneath is just next level! I wish it was a tad wider to accommodate more food but that’s a small gripe to consider. Overall very happy with this kitchen tool.

Better than smaller ones (they are pointless, more work); better than other manufacturers - tight pressure, 3 differently sized grid holes (some offer only one), nice sized, and angled bowl, and excellent larger hand grip that stays firm within your palm while you are rotating the press. It thankfully takes on quite a load and it presses and rotates very very smoothly! The little clip that attaches underneath does a great job of scooping the pressed mash underneath - never had one of those before!There's a bit of pressure needed to put the mill bars in position but that's a good thing. It all removes and cleans up super nicely as well. Very well made!It has a handle meant to sit on the receiving soup pot but I do wish there were a few rubberized 'legs' to help stabilize the mill while pressing not-quite-tender-enough veggies, like seen on a much larger industrial-sized one I gave my daughter. I realize it can't predict what size pot a user might want to use, though. (next time - I'll make sure veggies are same sized and properly tender, but this is how we learn!)In general - great way to press all the best and more easily digestible enzymes out of foods and leave a thicker smoother soup or make the best diy baby food! Fruits, veggies, meats - without the gritty fiber bits (as when using a food processor).

This food mill is sturdy and easy to use. Easy assembly and take apart for cleaning in the dishwasher. This is a good piece of equipment, should last a long time. Recommended

This was my first time using a mill. I’d purchased it specifically because of the health benefits of tomatoes (licopine) but only after removing the part of the tomato that contained some chemicals that are toxic. So this was the fastest and simplest way to accomplish this objective. I learned, however, that in order for the device to work properly the tomato’s first have to be cooked. Otherwise the tomato is too thick and hard to break down and separate the seeds and skin from the pulp. After thoroughly cooking in a pressure cooker for about two hours, the consistency was perfect and after cooling down the mill did its job. The resulting pulp was very thin and required more time to cook in order to reduce its consistency. But the result was very satisfactory.

I only used once to strain whole peeled can Italian tomatoes, it worked well for this straining the seeds. But the disk is etched and discolored after one use, on the underside of the disk. Poor quality/cheap metal in the disk, for this price range. Would not recommend it. I looked at the other two disks i did not use yet, and they are both etched and discolored, bad quality right out of the box. I wish i had seen this sooner would have returned it without using it.

In Sept. we moved to our new property where we harvested Concord Grapes, producing 104 pints of delicious grape juice. It was a new process for me and used panty hose as I didn't have cheese cloth. We wanted to make applesauce but although the apples were worm free, the apples were very small and I did not want to peel and core them. I went on line and ordered a food mill from another source and it was a 7.5 qt, shipping was 16.00+ and for an additional 14.00 I could get it delivered in 2 days as we had just picked the apples. It never arrived...very poor customer service, so discovered Amazon.com. I ordered it and within 2 days I had my food mill. It is very sturdy, easy to put together for use and very easy to clean. The plastic clip on bottom of screen does help and I had no problem with it. You have to remember to turn it backwards and it does help to use a spatula to remove excess debris,skin, seeds from food mill periodically, otherwise you can keep grinding away, making small particles of skin and/or seed. My husband and I canned 23 quarts and 26 pints of applesauce and apple butter with no or little sugar. When I ordered the 3.5 qt. size, thought it might be too small, but in fact, the larger one would have been too cumbersome for me to handle. We are very happy with the product, the cost and the service. I look forward to next years grape harvest...the food mill will be perfect..no more pantyhose! We are retired and live in a very rural area, and I see that Amazon.com will be my #1 shopping place!
