well, I researched food mill on YouTube and discovered I do know what it is. Years ago, when we were a young family, I used to make my own spaghetti sauce from farm picked Roma tomatoes, for use thruout the year.....anyway, mother in law had one, which I then inherited, it was a continuous feed with large hopper, that dh rigged to make it electric, so I didn't have to keep cranking! This would then feed into a large restaurant type pot for cook down into sauce That was the only thing it was used for....pulled out each fall,assembled, did my canning, then packed away til the next fall. Btw, still have that box, on a high shelf in garage..have since discovered Ragu! But watching a few of the YouTube videos on the handy little ones that fit over a pot/bowl seems like a good gadget to have.....to make thick soups-lentil, split,butternut squash, etc.......may look into it....any recommendations as to brand....
