Mirro50024 Foley Stainless Steel Healthy Food Mill Cookware, 2-Quart, Silver -

I purchased this product for the sake of chile sauce. It works wonderfully! Very sturdy, excellent in appearance and altogether a solidly built and operating unit! They are quite pricy, but I feel it was worth it at this point! Easy to clean and it appears that it would be very easy to disassemble for deeper cleaning!

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.

This is my first food mill.I bought the 2 qt model, thinking the 4qt modelwas too big. I like the solid construction andattractive appearance. The mill works pretty well.I've made applesauce and "squeezed" pomegranatejuice. The 2 qt size is fine for those two uses.I could see how the 4 qt model is more appropriateif you do heavy duty amounts, such as for canning.I knew in advance that the wire handle is notideal. I would agree that it is a bit uncomfortable.Since you are holding it for maybe 5 minutes, it'sonly a minor annoyance.The one surprise I had was...on the 4 qt model,and on competing models, the grates are removableand interchangeable. For the 2 qt model, thegrate is built in and can't be removed. Thismakes it harder to clean. I suspect this alsolimits the uses for the 2 qt model, although formy uses this hasn't affected me. If I had realizedthat the grate was non-changeable, I probablywould have bought the 4 qt model, just to havea more versatile food mill.Overall, it's a solid product that is good forlight to medium duty, or small to medium amounts.

Used for making spaghetti sauce “old school” from scratch just like my mom’s. Huge success and can’t truly describe just how good it came out.

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

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.

This might be great for grapes, berries, applesauce, but it did not work at all for me.(1) Did not process anything: I put in rice that was so soft, watery and falling apart that it was almost like rice pudding. Instead of passing through the sieve, it just got pushed around and around. I churned it for five minutes by the clock and nothing came through into the bowl, though the sieve did get enough in it to get clogged. The wire on the underside did not scrape anything off and the mill just chased the food around the bowl. I don't know if having sieves with different sizes of holes would solve the problem, as I don't feel the mill was able to press the contents of the bowl through anything.(2) Was awkward to keep the mill on the bowl: I sized the bowl with forethought so that it would fit the two legs of the mill, but during churning, it required concentration to keep it from falling off. I saw that other mills on the market corrected this problem by having 3 legs instead of 2. Seems obvious.(3) Not easy to clean: If I used this once a season for processing fruit, it could be okay, but to use it every day for pureeing food would be a pain. Once I unscrewed it to clean it, I discovered that it had packed a lot of the food into small spaces, so it had to be cleaned with a brush, and it was not easy to dislodge.This could be great for some uses, but it is not the versatile tool I expected it to be. I have used mills of this type before for baby food and never had a problem with putting in foods of different consistencies. Everything passed through easily and came out the underside in a puree, quickly, easily. I was disappointed that this one didn't work for me. It could work for you.

Just like the one I used as a young girl at my grandmothers house to can tomatoes in the summer.
