Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Roma Food Strainer and Sauce Maker for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Customer Review: Makes minced meat out of tomatoes...
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, so maybe not minced meat, but it makes juice out of tomatoes...
The first batch we did through the strainer was using a recipe from Alton Brown where you seasoned and baked the tomatoes in the oven for a few hours to get rid of some of the juices (we were going to make sauce) and then you mill them. Well, as far as milling goes, it was super easy and it spit the skins and most seeds out the end, while shooting the juice and pulp down the white chute. Don't expect to get a thick sauce or past just from milling the tomatoes, that usually takes time cooking off the excess liquid in a pot (at which time, you could season the sauce if you wanted).
This made quick work of the 20 lbs or so of tomatoes we had to mill and with little mess. The only mess I really had was the juice was running out the right side of the mill by the handle, and I couldn't understand why... This just didn't make sense to me... Everything I read said this was basically a mess free mill. Well, after milling was done, and I was taking it apart to clean it, I noticed the rubber O ring around where the handle inserts into the mill was broken. So, this prevented the handle from being water (or Juice) proof, allowing some of the tomato juices to back-flow through the handle.
I found the suction cup to be sufficient while milling our first batch. The next couple of batches we did, we didn't even blanch the tomatoes, just to see how things worked. Turns out, things worked just as well, and we didn't have to spend an extra 30 minutes - 1 hour prepping the tomatoes. We just cut off bad spots (and pulled off the stems) and broke the skin of the tomatoes (even cutting the bigger ones in halves/quarters) and pushed them through. There were a few times when I thought we would loose suction, but it didn't... it held up well.
The only complaint I have (aside from the broken O ring =\) is that I wish it had some type of scraper on the outside of the mesh cone to scrape the pulp off as it goes. But since, the way it works is the red plastic cork screw type thing pushes the tomatoes through the mill, with the space between the cork screw and the screen getting smaller and smaller as it goes until the skins are pushed out the end... It would be difficult to have something on the outside to spin along scraping at the same time...
I think the optional motor would be heavenly, allowing you to cut and load while it presses and would save loads of time...
I did run the "discarded" skins and such a few times, just to make sure I got EVERYTHING, but it still was a huge time saver.
