Perfect good stainless quality- comes in handy when making and canning my jams and jellies ! Gets those seeds and peelings out!

Love using this to make my tomatoe sauce an pastse its a great item to my canning stuff

This is my first food mill. I bought the 2 qt model, thinking the 4qt model was too big. I like the solid construction and attractive appearance. The mill works pretty well. I've made applesauce and "squeezed" pomegranate juice. The 2 qt size is fine for those two uses. I could see how the 4 qt model is more appropriate if you do heavy duty amounts, such as for canning. I knew in advance that the wire handle is not ideal. I would agree that it is a bit uncomfortable. Since you are holding it for maybe 5 minutes, it's only a minor annoyance. The one surprise I had was...on the 4 qt model, and on competing models, the grates are removable and interchangeable. For the 2 qt model, the grate is built in and can't be removed. This makes it harder to clean. I suspect this also limits the uses for the 2 qt model, although for my uses this hasn't affected me. If I had realized that the grate was non-changeable, I probably would have bought the 4 qt model, just to have a more versatile food mill. Overall, it's a solid product that is good for light to medium duty, or small to medium amounts.

I use this for making mashed potatoes and for making homemade marinara sauce. When you make your mashed potatoes using this food mill you will end up with the most fluffy mashed potatoes - better than any restaurant.

This is a great product. I can my own vegetables every year. Needed this specifically to make my homemade spaghetti sauce. Used this food mill to run my tomatoes thru to remove the skins and seeds. Did an excellent job. It was easy to use and clean.

I GAVE MY OLD FOLEY FOOD MILL AWAY MY MOM USED IT THEN SHE GAVE IT TO ME I USED IT ALL THE TIME MAKING ALL KINDS OF STUFF NOW THAT I AM OLDER I MADE A MISTAKE AND GAVE IT AWAY THAT WAS A MISTAKE ITS STILL BEING USED BUT I NEEDED ONE SO I DID THE AMAZON IT CAME FAST I WANTED TO WASH IT BEFORE I USED IT I COULD NOT GET IT APART THE SCREW WAS SO TIGHT THE CENTER WOULD NOT TURN SURE WASNT LIKE THE ONE I HAD I HAD MY APPLES CUT UP READY TO MAKE APPLE SAUCE WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT IT WAS THE SAME KIND I HAD GROWING UP BUT THIS ONE WAS JUNK FOR THE PRICE SO AMAZON TOOK CARE OF IT GOOD BYE FOLEY YOU HAD GOOD PRODUCTS NO MORE

I see what others mean about that it seems hard to clean, as patches of applesauce fruit leather do stick to the grate. However, a few minutes of poking from the reverse side with a toothpick took care of that, and left a tasty bit of fruit leather besides! Easy to use, makes a very creamy blueberry-applesauce. Keeps the Doc away, keeps ya reg'lar, and protects your eyesight, should be eaten every day! If you're using it to separate the meat from the peels, do just a little at a time, because the peels will cover the grating, so you'll need to empty the bowl and run the crank anti-clockwise, and the blade will scrape most of the peels off the grate so you can dump them out and refill the bowl.

I bought the 2 quart food mill to make applesauce. Since there are no interchangeable parts it was easy to use after washing it first. Clean up was easy too. No problem unscrewing the nut underneath. HOWEVER, without instructions, I wasn't sure how much of the apple mixture to put in so I had to experiment with less and more. It didn't seem to make a difference because a lot of the apple mixture moved up the sides rather than under the blade no matter the amount of apples I put in.. I stopped frequently to scrape the sides down and moved the handle both clockwise and counterclockwise with the hope of separating the apple peels. It seemed that I was scooping out a lot of apple still attached to the peels so I started collecting the peel/apple mixture in a colander and ultimately squeezed out a lot of applesauce just using a tablespoon. Messy work however, the applesauce that came out of the mill was a very good texture. No sugar needed. I used a mix of apples purchased in fall and the flavor was very good. I did not peel the apples beforehand but did core them and cut into quarters and added a little water to simmer. I do not like the hallow handle and had to use a mitt for comfort. The 2 legs also moved off the correct sized bowl frequently. BUT does anyone have a rule of thumb to tell how many apples to cook to make X amount of applesauce or other tips to make this less messy and more effective?

I used this for apples and it took a bit of poking with the spatula to get everything, but it was low-effort and worked well. I love the double clips so that it sits over the top of a pot without moving around too much. Easy to clean if you have a scrub brush for your dishes (I imagine it would shred a sponge)!

All it does is smooth the food under the blade, regardless of how tight the nut is or how you angle your grip to try and get some pressure on the back edge of the blade. And the arms that hold the mill on the pot are hopelessly weak and bend with the slightest pressure. Sorry, I really hate to write these kinds of reviews - but super dissapointed.

Great product easy to clean.

I didn't realize when I ordered this one after looking at dozens of them that this one doesn't have the interchangeable discs. Others had 3 different discs, this one just has one fixed disc that doesn't come out to clean. Hoping it works well. Haven't used it yet.

The seive is a lot smaller than expected. Also the part that's supposed press whatever your working with doesn't press anything. You can't adjust the part that does the pressing to make it tighter. I wanted it to press wild grapes for jelly. Very disappointed.
