Ideal for small batch processing, this stainless steel food mill with 3 interchangeable cutting plates is a great alternative to a food processor. Strain and purée foods while separating out seeds, skins and cores with this manual food mill. Make fresh applesauce, puree squash for a bisque or chop spinach for a creamed spinach side dish. Simply place cooked fruits or vegetables in the 2-Qt. container and turn the crank. Three round interchangeable cutting plates give you a choice of small (3 mm), medium (5 mm), or large (7 mm) perforations in the plate for fine to coarse texture. The food mill's semicircular blade sweeps, compresses and scrapes the food against the cutting plate, while a spring-loaded bar applies constant pressure, retaining seeds, skin and fibers. Constructed from stainless steel, the manual food mill is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. The food mill fits on any bowl with a diameter of 5-1/4" or larger, and the 2-Qt. stainless steel food mill measures 17-1/4” x 8” x 9” when assembled.
