Mirro 50024 Foley Stainless Steel Healthy Food Mill Cookware, 2-Quart, Silver -

I have looked all over for this. My mother had this kind and I wanted the same.

I had purchased this exact same food mill about 30 years ago and loved it. I put some of my kitchen items into storage temporarily and apparently that included my old food mill. It's fall now and time for making my homemade applesauce. I didn't want to dig through the boxes in storage at this time so I just purchased another one and will pass it along to one of my kids. I absolutely love it, and it's well made. To clean it, I just rinse it really well while turning the crank as the water rushes through. I personally have never put it into the dishwasher since it cleans up so easily by hand, and I don't have to worry about any parts rusting or wearing out prematurely due to the dishwasher detergent. My original same exact food mill from 30 years ago doesn't have a single rust or worn spot on it. I highly recommend this food mill!

Good product. I just wish I had ordered the larger size.

This food mill replaces the one my mother had before me about seventy years ago. I use it mainly in making applesauce; the apples are not peeled, just cored and any bad spots removed. If I have red apples to make crock pot apple butter, re peels add a lovely color to the finished product.

So easy to use ..... used it to smash cranberries .... perfect!

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 love this product for many uses. Great product!!!
