 Excellent food mill. This is the one! September 28, 2007

I bought this mill after trying it out alongside the All Clad, and after having read the bad reviews of other high-end mills. Unlike the All-Clad, which has a fixed knob, the knob on the Oxo crank turns independently of the crank, so that you can grip it while turning without losing the skin off the palm of your hand. It's quieter than the All-clad, which makes an annoying scraping sound, and it has those awesome retractable legs that let you rest it over any bowl. With the All-Clad, you have to either use All-clad pots or hold the whole thing in your other arm as you crank away with that horrible knob. So far, I have made amazing mashed potatoes and fresh heirloom tomato Bloody Mary's. The fine mesh seive held back the seeds and skins of the tomato perfectly, which some mills won't do. If you like seeds and skin in your sauces, just use the medium seive. The disks are VERY easy to switch out, just click the latch. Lastly, the Oxo is cheaper. If you want a food mill, this is the one!

After using an old aluminum food mill for years this one just knocked my socks off. Fits easily over a bowl or pot, stainless steel, does not slip, turns smoothly, has different size "screens"...I just love it. I make applesauce with skins, core, seeds and all, just cook halved apples with a little water, put the mash through the mill and the things you don't want are left behind. A definite upgrade, easy to clean.

I purchased this mill with the intentions of making baby food. So far it has worked great for banana puree, mango and other soft, ripe fruits. I would recommend the product over the smaller, strictly-for-baby-food mills because of its capacity for making large batches, and for it's higher quality/durability. It is fun and easy to use, and it makes a great tomato puree for a most excellent marinara!

After using a Foley mill, this one was heavenly. I use it mostly for apple butter, and I find it to be really great. Here's why:
-- The fold-out legs are really sturdy. I tend to want to mill those apple skins until they beg for mercy, because a lot of the flavor is there. I can push down on this while suspended over a pot, with no problems at all.
-- The milling action works easily. Until I get down to the skins-only stage of the milling, it requires only light pressure to mill the food.
-- It's easy to assemble and disassemble, and easy to clean.
-- The three screens are great, and I can get rid of my potato ricer now, as well as my old food mill.
There are a couple of minuses that others have mentioned:
-- The capacity of the mill itself is not large. I didn't really have a problem with that, since I would just spoon in some stuff, mill it, spoon in some more stuff, etc. Since you can put it over a much larger pot, it didn't bother me.
-- There is no scraper wire underneath. Since this makes it quieter, and all it requires it taking a spoon and scraping it once when you are done, this is a very small minus for me. I suppose if you were trying to measure the amount you'd done really accurately, this would be more annoying.
The minuses aren't minuses for me, so I'm still giving this 5 stars. I highly recommend it.

Since it is the only food mill I have used I have nothing to compare it with. I have used it twice to make large batches of tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes and it worked great, was easy to use and was very easy to clean.
