OXOGood Grips Stainless Steel Food Mill For Purees,Silver

Great quality and instructions make it easy to dis/assemble. Just make sure you read them first, unlike me! It might seem a bit pricy but worth the value. After my hand press ricer broke I wanted an upgrade for my mashed potatoes.The process takes a little bit longer than the hand press, but it’s so much less impact. Easy to turn and it can handle a good amount. Easy to take apart and clean, and easy to put back together.I expect nothing less from this brand.

I have now used my OXO Good Grips food mill twice to make mashed potatoes and I am very pleased with everything about this food mill -- especially for the price. Years ago, I had an inexpensive plastic mill that was difficult to use and collected dust like a magnet. I finally got rid of it. But as I became more and more involved with developing my cooking techniques, I read so much about the importance of having a food mill. Recently I received an email from Williams Sonoma announcing a brand new All Clad food mill for the whopping sum of $150! I was curious, and love All Clad cookware, so I checked it out. It looked really great, but the price tag felt exorbitant. Then I noticed that WS also sold the OXO for literally one-third the price. There was a long list of five-star reviews for the OXO. I compared features and determined that the only big difference, in addition to a slightly larger size for the All Clad, was that the OXO didn't have the little "wiper" blade at the bottom that the All Clad has, making it necessary to occasionally lift the OXO and scrape the bottom with a spatula. Well, for a saving of $100 I figured that little difference was something I was willing to live with.I immediately checked Amazon and found a slightly better price and more 5-star reviews. I have now used it a couple of times for mashed potatoes, using the coarse disk, and they were wonderful. Light and fluffy. The assembly of the OXO was easy and intuitive. The disks even have "this side up" imprinted on them. The turner assembly clicked right in, and the knob on the handle was very comfortable to hold. There was no drag at all as the blade spun around to push the food through the disk and the potatoes were done in less than half the time it normally took me with a recommended potato ricer. That goes to my neighbor.Cleaning and storage are great, too. Everything goes in the dishwasher. The legs, which fit neatly over my All Clad mixing bowls and almost every pot I have, fold under completely for compact storage in my pots and pans drawer. And it even looks really nice, an added bonus.Update: I made a nice batch of applesauce the other night with this mill. Perfection! It was so easy -- and the texture of the applesauce was perfection. This is definitely a quality product -- well designed, ergonomic, and it even looks good.I highly recommend this product and can't wait to use it for more things.

I have canned tomatoes for the past 20 years and can't believe that I managed it for decades without the help of a food mill.I did tons of research to find out which one would be the best. My main criteria was stainless steel and I have been thrilled with the results.It takes less than 40 minutes to bring 2 pressure cookers of tomatoes up to pressure, put them through the food mill, and either add them to the pot for pasta sauce or can then directly for soups later on. Note that I have 2 pressure cookers, so if you have only one, it will take a bit longer. However, it sure beats dipping the tomatoes in boiling water and then trying to "slip" the skins off.The Oxo food mill is easy to use - I've only used the largest screen so far and it easily cleans out all the tomato skins and most of the seeds. If I wanted all the seeds out, I'd use one of the smaller screens. I love the "feet" as they spread out far enough to fit over my 4quart pasta pot. When I process 2 pressure cookers of tomatoes, they fill the pasta pot up to the rim and then I can dump it into my big soup pot with the onions and veggies.Understand that I've used this product a LOT in just a few weeks. We have 30 tomato plants and I regularly can at least 50 jars of pasta sauce and 40 jars plain tomatoes every summer. So far, I've canned 25 2-quart jars of sauce - and it's only the middle of July.The Oxo is easy to clean. At first, I took it apart several times to clean it out, but quickly learned that all you have to do it turn the handle backwards and scoop out the tomato skins with a spoon. It's so well designed that it takes just a minute to clean after using. Even if it took a LOT longer, it's still worth using for processing tomatoes.At this point, I've ONLY used it for tomatoes, so I can't say how it works for potatoes or other fruits and vegetables. But I can say that it's definitely worth the money I paid for it (slightly less than $50) and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good, easy to use way to process a lot of garden vegetables.

I wouldn't buy one of these hoping to mill a few bushels of tomatoes but if you're going to do a small batch for dinner it will be fine...this is very easy to assemble, take apart, and clean up is simple too. Make sure to have the proper sized bowl to mill into. The cost is a little too much in my opinion, but this is a good product, durable, and should last a very long time!
