Electric Tomato Strainer Machine - Made in Italy - Perfect for Canning Tomato Purees, Sauces and More! (No. 3)

I have tried numerous brands, this machine is amazing. I hope it works for years to come. Processing tomatoes for sauce is so much more enjoyable and less time consuming. I love this!!

I have to admit that I was hesitant to pay this much for any piece of kitchen equipment, but am I glad I did. This is wonderful. When it arrived, there was a damaged part. One phone call to customer service and the part was replaced. This processed all my Roma tomatoes as fast as they could be feed into the hopper. Made my job so much easier. If you are not sure if you should or not buy this, please get it. YOU WILL BE SO HAPPY YOU DID. GREAT ITEM, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Very sturdy machine. Does it’s job as fast as you can feed it. Easy to clean by hand as well. Does what it claims, separates skin and seeds from tomatoes for a great crushed tomato base for bottling. I still par boil tomatoes for ease of crushing and skin separation with machine.

Juices tomatoes like a champ! We have a large garden and would juice 2 five gallon buckets in less than 20 minutes. It would have been faster, but my wife couldn't keep up with cutting the tomatoes. Great long term purchase if you plant a garden every year!

If Amazon is selling items from other countries, the manufacture needs to make sure instructions are in the English Language, I don't need Italian, Asian, Hispanic, I only need English!I had to search until I reached page 43 on getting the correct English manual instructions.The manufacturer should have separate manual instructions for each country/origin; their product is ordered from.The picture diagram, CONFUSING???? Page 10 was the actual item I purchased, but the assembling, is on page 9???? REALLY. (At least I'm hoping it is correct)?I spent good money for this, it should not be aggravating, to figure out how to get the product assembled correctly.I've spent been over an hour just trying to figure out where the correct language manual was and how to assemble it. I don't know yet, how it's going to do the job that I need it to do. I don't normally leave reviews, even if I've had bad experiences with products I've purchased. But this bothers me that something simple, they make it so hard?

We always had to precook our tomatoes after cleaning to run through hand crank machine. new electric machine saves time, and I don't know how I got along without it all these years. One bit of advice is to run the seeds and skins through a 2nd time for additional cup or two of juice. for cleaning a baby bottle brush cleans the strainer sieve well.

Several years now my husband and I have used his Italian fathers manual food mill to can tomato sauce and tomato soup. This year we decided to move into modern times (haha), so we purchased this electric food mill. All my husband can say is “Molto Bene” or very good in Italian. We were able to press our tomatoes in half the time as the old method and canned our yummy sauce and soup. We are super super happy with our purchase and definitely recommend!

I canned 90 lbs of tomatoes in 4 days breaking the segments up into 45lbs at a time. This machine works good but not amazing at separating all seeds. I’m not worried about a few seeds because it separates all of the skin which is most important to prevent botulism when canning. I double stack pressure can, steam & water bath can. This time I made tomato sauce out of a mix of tomatoes with mostly Roma tomatoes from my garden. The process would have taken so very much longer in cookers all over the house. Not interested! Reducing the tomatoes into tomato juice isn’t interesting to me but is to a lot of people. I don’t think it took an hour to run 45lbs of tomatoes through the hopper; does not including the time to clean & quarter tomatoes. My tip; I soak the tomatoes in an ex-large stock pot with 1TBSP of baking soda to remove any Neem oil, Seven or any organic or other pesticides that may be left on the vegetables. Labels say their products are safe after a number of days but I like them clean. I slosh tomatoes or vegetables around a bit & get other stuff ready to process. I have more tomatoes to process as well as apples for applesauce with this machine. It makes the job so easy!!! My tip for applesauce; use it instead of oil when baking for moist texture or cut oil to ¼ to ⅛ of recipe. Like banana bread. Try it.
