Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Roma Tomato Strainer 4 Piece Accessory Kit
Customer Review: Good for salsa and pretty good for berries.
Summary: 4 Stars
I like using my Roma food mill for tomatoes but wanted to be able to remove blackberry seeds, so I bought this kit, not really planning to use the other screen sizes. But you never know, and it was cheaper to buy them as a set instead of buying just one screen and later deciding I might want another one.
As it turned out, the day it arrived I had just picked a huge amount of really small Roma tomatoes and thought I'd try out the salsa screen. I usually just chop up the ingredients by hand for the chunky texture I like, but if this gizmo worked, what a time saver it would be!
At first I was a bit disappointed. The pulp didn't look very chunky. In fact it looked a lot like the pulp from the regular tomato screen, but with seeds left in. But when I made the salsa it turned out to be just right. In fact my DH liked it better than the 'regular' kind I make! Maybe because the flavors blended better with the softer texture. Note - I ran the 'discard' pulp through again, the skins and hard stem ends were removed beautifully by the way, and got a LOT more pulp, but twice through was all it needed.
On to the berries! I had two quarts of canned wild blackberries that I'd been saving but hadn't used because I don't like all those seeds. I've removed the seeds before by pressing the pulp through a strainer and it just wasn't worth the effort, time or mess, so I had high hopes for this screen.
The berries were canned in their own juice, so I strained that out first. However the first 10 - 12 times I ran the pulp through the mill all that came out was more juice! Plus the juice leaked out from the handle and dripped on the floor. I guess it wasn't made to handle that much juice? (no pun intended)
I lost count of how many times I ran the pulp through but I did finally start getting some very nice, completely seedless, useable pulp. I kept running the pulp through until it was entirely squeezed dry. In fact until it was so dry that the pressure popped the screen off of the mill! I wasn't real happy about that, but at least I knew it was time to stop!
The salsa screen I would give a score of 5, the berry screen a 4, and I haven't tried the squash screen or grape press. I'll try using the berry screen with fresh berries, that might make a difference.
And overall it was much easier than pushing the blackberries through a strainer! Maybe not a timesaver but much less work and cleanup.
Other notes -
The screens were easy to clean with a bottle brush.
Each screen came with its own thin, clear plastic 'washer' already in it, which I didn't expect and didn't see with the first one so I almost lost it when it dropped out and on to the floor! But I like having the extras, just glad I saw it fall and rescued it before the cats found a new toy!
