good design, but handle could be more comfortable
I bought this food mill because it's the same design as the food mill my grandmother has had for decades. I've been using it the past few weeks to make tomato gazpacho. This food mill is more than up to the task.
The stainless steel surface is easy to keep clean, and it disassembles for even easier cleaning. As a nice touch, the diameter of the scraper wire on the bottom of the mill is just a fraction smaller than the grill holes, which means that if you have seeds lodged in any of the holes after cleaning, you can use the scraper wire to knock them out.
The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the double-loop handle can be uncomfortable to hold after a while. (I can understand why they used the double-loop design--because it stays cooler if you're milling over a heated pot--but I think I would've preferred having a more comfortable handle and using a potholder if necessary.)
food mill
I had been looking for a food mill for quite some time now. I even purchased one at Bed, Bath & Beyond. It couldn't do the processing at all.
So when I saw this food mill, which is like the one my mother used, I knew it would be just what I was looking for- And it was!
Food Mill
I have used this food mill for over twenty years! I lent mine to a friend of mine and she was so busy making applesauce she did not return it. I told her to keep it, as she enjoyed it so much and bought a new one for myself!
