Love this mill just wish it was bigger!, October 1, 2007

Latte (OH, USA) - See all my reviews

We do a lot of home canning and preserving and purchased this mill to help with some of the chores associated with putting away pumpkin butter, grape butter, pumpkin puree and other foods. This was the only tool we found that helped get rid of the seeds and save the pulp of the grapes for our grape spread. We also own one of the large food strainers (Victorio or Roma type model) and this did a better job than that large, expensive strainer for that kind of work.

Things I really like:
--the "legs" of the strainer on the pot are coated with a rubberized surface that helps to keep them from slipping off the edge of the pot you are using it over. The handle seems to have the same coating and is pleasant to hold.
--also with the legs, they fold for storage, but I have found that folding them down around the sides of a 4-cup pyrex measuring cup also helps to hold it stable while using it.
--I like the white enamel (I think that's what it is) coating on the outside... Read more

Excellent food mill. This is the one!, September 28, 2007

V. Martinez (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

I bought this mill after trying it out alongside the All Clad, and after having read the bad reviews of other high-end mills. Unlike the All-Clad, which has a fixed knob, the knob on the Oxo crank turns independently of the crank, so that you can grip it while turning without losing the skin off the palm of your hand. It's quieter than the All-clad, which makes an annoying scraping sound, and it has those awesome retractable legs that let you rest it over any bowl. With the All-Clad, you have to either use All-clad pots or hold the whole thing in your other arm as you crank away with that horrible knob. So far, I have made amazing mashed potatoes and fresh heirloom tomato Bloody Mary's. The fine mesh seive held back the seeds and skins of the tomato perfectly, which some mills won't do. If you like seeds and skin in your sauces, just use the medium seive. The disks are VERY easy to switch out, just click the latch. Lastly, the Oxo is cheaper. If you want a food mill, this is...

Great food mill, November 28, 2007

[[ASIN:B000I0MGKE OXO Good Grips Food Mill]
After using an old aluminum food mill for years this one just knocked my socks off. Fits easily over a bowl or pot, stainless steel, does not slip, turns smoothly, has different size "screens"...I just love it. I make applesauce with skins, core, seeds and all, just cook halved apples with a little water, put the mash through the mill and the things you don't want are left behind. A definite upgrade, easy to clean.

Inferior in Almost Every Way to the OXO Good Grips Mill., September 9, 2010

Below is the text of my OXO Good Grips Food Mill review. I am also posting it here since it is relevant to people considering the RSVP product since this was the product I compared it to.

---

I compared the OXO Food mill with the RSVP mill online before purchasing. I first went with the RSVP product based strictly on price (since the ratings were essentially the same). The first thing I made was Tomato Sauce/marinara wherein I cooked tomatoes with garlic, herbs, and Olive oil and passed them through the mill. Immediately, I saw there was a LOT of waste with the RSVP mill. The food would just spin around in the top of the mill and not be passed through the holes in the metal disc (coarsest disc used). I shook the thing, ran the crank in the opposite direction to move the food around and reposition it. took out my wooden spoon to 'help' the mill by breaking down the tomatoes more. bit by bit, more and more food got processed but despite all my efforts, I would...

For lightweight tasks, August 19, 2009

Lisa Davis (Morristown, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RSVP Endurance Stainless Steel Food Mill

This item is attractive in its appearance and design. However, it is difficult to use for canning tomato juice.

This mill lacks the wire that dispenses with the pulp on the underneath side which is very much needed for such an application. It also seems to be lacking tension in the rotary portion of the blade and therefore leaves a lot of juice and pulp resulting in waste and a less rich canned product.

From having used many in the past, I immediately noticed these disparities and overall it is a product for very lightweight tasks in my opinion.

Handsome, Heavy Duty - Should Last a Lifetime, March 27, 2009

David Gurgel (Roseland, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: RSVP Endurance Stainless Steel Food Mill

This item was promptly delivered. The heavy-duty stainless construction should last a lifetime. A comfortable wooden handle is secured by an outer stainless handle to the bowl. Three included disks (fine, medium, coarse) install quickly. A large, rotating, stainless steel knob on the operating handle fits the palm and makes for easy operation. Appearance is certainly nice enough to hang in the open.

With an eight-inch diameter and approximately 2-1/2 quart bowl, the size seems right for preparing meals for 1 - 8. Those preparing a gallon or more at a time may want a larger mill.

good design, but handle could be more comfortable, September 21, 2007

James Ralston (Pittsburgh, PA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mirro Foley 3.5-Quart Stainless Steel Food Mill (Kitchen)

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.)

Foleys food mill, January 31, 2009

I had one about 30 years ago and just loved it for making applesauce. Unfortunately I lost it a few years ago and had to get another one. These are very hard to find but are one of the best of their kind on the market. You do have to remember, though to grind clockwise, then reverse every 5 or 6 times. Also about every 15 minutes or so, you need to empty it, turn it over and tighten the nut on the bottom as it works its way loose at times. Overall it's a very good product.

Just not tough enough., November 25, 2008

Susan Costello Gray (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this about a year and a half ago. I make blackberry jam and needed it to puree the berries and get some of the seeds out. It never did a very good job. It didn't put enough pressure on the fruit so I ended up with a good deal of waste. The second summer I used it the handle fell off (poorly soldered). Then the knob on top came off and I couldn't get it back on so ended up pitching the whole thing. It might be up to wimpy stuff like applesauce, but if you are a serious canner, find something stronger.
