Glad you did not get hurt.
But - I would have been extremely disheartened by having to clean up all that mess.
Amazing how much territory a small amount of liquid can splatter on to.
Are you going to contact the appliance manufacturer? Or was this an "unapproved" use of it?
Sometimes the "old fashioned" strainers still do the job.
I think my mom used a cloth bag to strain some fruit juices through. Don't remember for sure, though. I do remember some kind of bag that was stained pinkish red.
