Review: Best for tomato puree - Absolutely the best product on the market for making tomato puree. I was a bit hesitant because it's expensive, but it's absolutely worth it. It gets out every last bit of Pulp and so the discards that come out are pretty dry. Easy instructions and easy to wash afterwards. Clamps securely to the counter.
Review: An epiphany. So much easier, it's like a miracle. - I promised someone I'd come back and review the model 250 when I got mine. Here's the update--it works just as well as the old model. The table clamp is better, but the way the screen attaches is worse, since you have to grab onto it to take it apart now. It leaks just as the old model did, but a little less. All in all though, it works like a charm and turns out a beautiful job with little work. The review below still stands for the newer model. I can a LOT of tomatoes. This year I did 30-50 pounds a week, all summer. My old process: wash tomatoes. Cut slits in the bottom of tomatoes. Dunk tomatoes in boiling water. Once the skins split, dunk in ice water. Peel the tomatoes. Cut out the core. Cut off green shoulders. Cut off bad bits. Put tomato in saucepan. Crust tomatoes with potato masher. Cook down the tomatoes, process in water bath canner. This takes ALL DAY. Then a friend took pity on me and loaned me her Victorio Strainer. It's at least 30 years old, probably older and still in great shape. The first time I used it, it was like the heavens had opened and angels began to sing. Here's my new process: Wash tomatoes. Cut off bad bits. Cut tomato in half or quarters. Run through the strainer. Cook down and process. DONE. The resulting puree is gorgeous and seed and peel free. I can use tomatoes with blossom end rot--just cut that bit off. I can use all my cherry tomatoes that I could never preserve before. There is almost no waste--after you run the tomatoes through once, dump all the peels and cores back in and run them again. You'll be shocked at how much more juice and pulp comes out. The resulting waste is almost dry. I had a gallon of waste from 50 pounds of tomatoes. This thing is completely amazing. It does leak a bit. Don't know if that's because it's old, or it's the nature of the beast. I DO NOT CARE. The screen is a bit of a pain to clean. I DO NOT CARE. This thing is so much faster and so much better than doing it all by hand, these small annoyances are nothing. We also did 100 pounds of Concord grapes for juice with this, and it was awesome. I'm here to buy my own so I can return the one I'm using. Oh, just save yourself the aggravation and buy the accessory pack while you're here. Once you start using it for something like tomatoes, you'll look around and want to do grapes, or salsa, or pumpkin... better get those accessories now.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is this different from a juicer??**
A: It keeps the pulp just gets rid of the skins and seeds, as in partially cooked apples for applesauce and tomatoes for pasta sauce. A juicer literally keeps the juice and gets rid of all the fibres skin and seeds!

**Q: I want to use it for apple sauce.  Will the pulp be too fiberous for this strainer?  How much of it do you lose with the skins and seeds?**
A: I have only used it for my tomato sauce.  And if it makes apple sauce as good as my tomato sauce, then I would purchase this.  I was amazed on how it knew to strain the skins and seeds.  I love this appliance!

**Q: Does this applesauce maker leak around the gaskets/strainer part?  I have an old one that leaks a LOT and makes a big mess underneath.  Thanks!**
A: Mine is new and does not leak where the strainer is attached to the main unit.  It has a 'rubber' (could be soft plastic...I don't know) ring which serves as a gasket where the strainer is attached to the main unit.  I believe the 'rubber' ring is absolutely important, as if it was not there, applesauce would likely squish out there.

**Q: how many quarts does it hold?**
A: The feed hopper will hold a decent amount.
But your holding solids. Not sure how many quarts you would get from a hopper full.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well but some parts are cheaply made
*by T***4 on October 24, 2019*

It works well and comes apart easily for cleaning. Few things I wish were made more durable--the cup for the discard. Its a cheap thin plastic. Even though I have tried to be very careful with it, I still got a crack down the side. I have only had it for one month. Once it breaks I don't know what I'll do to prevent discard from falling into the sauce. Secondly, the handle comes off the base easily. Nice feature when you are storing but not in use. The handle slides off easily while I'm turning it. Not a big deal, just frustrating to keep picking it up and worry that it's going to land on my toes (this part is heavy duty). so overall I feel it's a good product and fairly priced but disappointed in some parts--feel it could be a really quality tool that would last for years. As is I think I'll be buying something else in a year two.
