Made by Paderno. Used to strain or pure fruits and vegetables. By placing cooked fruits or vegetables in the mill and turning the crank, the semi-circular blade oversweeps, compresses and scrapes food. The bar that straddles the container applies constant pressure against the cutting plate and crushes the food, while retaining seeds, skin, and fibres. The food mill comes with three cutting plates allowing for a variety of textures. These interchangeable cutting plates have perforations of either 1/16", 3/32" or 5/32" (1.5 mm, 2.5 mm or 4 mm). The output is approximately 3 lbs. per minute and fits on any 7" or larger receptacle.
