Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Food Mill
Customer Review: Critical Design Flaws.
Summary: 1 Stars
I should begin this review by saying that I own a number of All Clad pots and pans, each of which is made of exceptional materials and functions perfectly. For the serious home cook, they are well worth the cost. I purchased my All Clad food mill based on this previous experience, from a famous NYC gourmet/housewares retailer.
The food mill itself is beautifully made from top quality materials. The fit and finish of all components is excellent. But the design flaws are so glaring that I suggest you avoid this product entirely. What are the problems?
First, the narrow recesses at the bottom of the mill's bowl (into which you put the foods to be processed) are SO narrow and so precise that they fit only onto a specific bowl, not one you might happen to already have in the house. This results in additional expense.
Second, while the three graduated inserts are an excellent idea, so that one can get various textures of milled food, the blade that rotates on top of them has a very acute angle of attack against the inserts, and so anything larger than a pea will not fit under it and thus be forced through the insert.
Third, the blade is held against the insert by the downward pressure of a spring. The spring is too weak to exert much pressure, and so the blade often rotates uselessly atop the insert while your food is stirred around on top of it.
Fourth, and most critical, the knob on the end of the handle ~ it's a large steel ball that fits perfectly in my hand ~ does not rotate as you crank the handle. This results in a lot of friction against your palm and a lot of pushing and pulling instead of a smooth continuous motion. This causes a lot of extra, wasted labor.
I bought this (unfortunately) horrid thing from a top-line merchant. After I'd used it for Thanksgiving dinner, I showed the department manager its obvious flaws. He totally agreed with me that this is an inferior tool, and refunded my money with a smile.
Given the quality of other products made and sold by All Clad, I'm surprised they released this thing for sale.
Description of All-Clad Food Mill
The Food Mill is crafted completely of 18/10 stainless steel. It has two sturdy side handles that keep the mill base securely in place during the food preparation process. Great for pureeing a variety of fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses into fine, medium, and coarse consistencies.This sturdy, hand-cranked mill sieves out seeds, skins, and tough fibers. It?s perfect for pureeing tomato sauce, thick soups, and homemade baby food. Mashed potatoes made with a food mill also process more quickly than those made with a ricer or hand masher. Three interchangeable grinding discs create a variety of food textures: fine for smooth sauces or beginner baby food; medium for applesauce; large for mashed potatoes.
To use, simply turn the mill?s crank to push cooked foods through small holes in the disc below. The main handle is ergonomically-designed for smooth action and uniform pureeing. Two sturdy side handles allow the mill to rest on (and the puree to fall into) a pot, pan, or bowl placed underneath. Made from durable 18/10 stainless steel, this mill fits any All-Clad four or 4-1/2 quart saucepan. The entire unit is dishwasher-safe for quick and easy clean-up. --Mary Park
