Tossing my Foley Food Mill!

Just received my fruit/vegetable strainer attachment and used it to make applesauce.
I have always used a food mill for this but decided to purchase this attachment for my mixer after my son, who is a chef and owner of a catering company recommended I buy one. I was a little wary of doing this since I am very old school when it comes to my kitchen applications. I can't tell you how pleased I am with this attachment. The whole process took very little time and the end product was the best I have ever mad

My only wish is that the hopper itself was a little bit bigger. Other than that, I love this attachment and will be using it again and again. Can't wait to try out the other attachments as well. If my children are reading this review, I would love some additional ones for Christmas!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had this for two years. It does a good job of straining... but design has some big flaws. Bowl does not fit under output properly. Base of the stand is in the way. Because of this the waste falls into your bowl and I need to use a smaller bowl and place it on something to raise it higher so it does not splash all over the place. Even then the waste can fall into the processed sauce. Also it is easy to bump it and knock the discharge attachment. As no instructions on any way to lock it into place I have not figured out a way to fix this problem. FIX IT
Love the mixer hate this attatchment

Fruit/Vegetable Strainer Set - works great!!

I purchased this strainer set last year and used it to make plum jam and just this week, I am using it to make tomato sauce. I was AMAZED at how nicely it worked - I processed a bushel of tomatoes in less than an hour - No coring, no cooking needed! But I do recommend using Roma Tomatoes which are much better for cooking sauce. I also learned that if you add Tomato Paste to your sauce while cooking - it does thicken the sauce and it cooks up faster. Another good trick - Re-process your discarded seeds & skins 2 or 3 more times. You'd be surprised at how much more puree you'll get from that. I ended up recovering nearly 4 more cups of puree by reprocessing my discards. Much easier than boiling - and skinning!!

What a time saver!

I can (process) 3 large boxes of Roma tomatoes every fall to make my own homemade spaghetti sauce. I have to say, before I purchased this attachment, I would spend literally HOURS boiling, peeling, coring and seeding the tomatoes and that was even before I did the canning. It was probably a 24 hour process, literally, just to prep them. Now, it takes seriously about 3 hours to prep with this attachment, it does all the work, all I have to do is quarter the tomatoes. I also made applesauce for the first time this fall using a bushel. I cooked the apples, seeds, core and skin (just quartered them) and then ran them through the fruit strainer and it removed everything and I was left with a delicious batch of applesauce. Would highly recommend this attachment. For those that complain about making baby food, I wonder if they were cooking the baby food prior to processing through the attachment?

We bought this attachment about 2 or 3 months ago in the middle of canning season. In the past when my wife did tomatoes it was a matter, wash, blanch, peel, core, etc... with this attachment she washes the tomatoes, quarters and fills a pan the as she does more I start the fun part. What used to take hours now takes us minutes. Apples, she quarters
& cores the a quick cooking to soften and to the machine immediate apple sauce. works well on seedless grapes but not for the seeded or maybe they needed to be blanched. Waste had a tendency to curl back and sometimes fall in the good stuff so I took a plastic lid from a cottage cheese containes made a "X" in the center and put over the tip of the strainer now all waste goes in the waste pan and does not fall back into the good.

Best kitchenaid attachment ever!!

Big gardeners and love to can homemade tomatoe sauce with homegrown produce. This attachment is a god send. Does an absolutely awesome job in separating the skin and seeds from the juice and pulp. Anyone who has done this the old fashion way with a hand crank strainer will appreciate the ease of using the kitchenaid attachment! This recommendation is also the opinion of my siblings who also have purchased and use for making tomatoe juice. Highly recommend!

Wishing for more cones with different hole sizes

This is great for tomato juice but I feel like a lot of pulp is unnecessarily discarded for sauce. With a food mill, the multiple size screens offer a coarser and finer grinds and that would be a terrific option for different fruits/veggies/uses.
Using the hopper extender, I didn’t have a problem with volume, setting the mixing bowl directly in front of the stand caught all the sauce/juice and I just used a small measuring cup for waste at the end. Definitely easier on the hands and arms than cranking a mill, so hoping for other size screen options in the future!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i think we got this two weeks ago but haven't used it until today.we are canning roma tomatoes and this thing really does a good job,what i did was run the tomatoes through the strainer three times to get more juice out of the tomatoes,but i wouldn't try four times like i did - you might say it got a little constipated- by that i mean what was left was so dry that i had to take it apart and clean the screen to get more tomatoes through it,but otherwise it worked great.
