Gefu"Flotte Lotte Food Mill with 2 discs, Stainless Steel, Multi-Colour, Silver, 38,5 x 20,4 x 19,5 cm

I wanted to try a food mill to make sauces. I spent a lot of research time reading reviews, particularly on Amazon.com,as there was a larger customer uptake. The main problem with other mills seemed to be loose fitting parts leading to a failure to make smooth textured sauces. This mill does an excellent job, is easy to clean just rinse straight after use or put into a dishwasher. It is strongly made from good quality stainless steel and appears to be designed AND made in Germany. I ordered a larger strainer sized disk at the same time to do coarser sieving. I'm surprised to be the first reviewer, perhaps this sieve will take off now....

I purchased this food mill at E. Dehillerin in Paris for about the same price as listed on Amazon. I wanted to replace my Foley Mill, which is truly a piece of junk. The description of the mill indicates that it will work for tomatoes. My experience with the mill is that it does an incredibly fast and efficient job of milling various vegetables and fruits, but it allows tomato seeds to go through the plate into the juice. I wish they sold smaller plates as it works really well otherwise.

Hab mir schon lange ein Passiersieb gewünscht. Nach langen (wie immer) Lesen der einzelnen Rezensionen bin ich zum Schluss gekommen, bei Gefu zuzuschlagen.Bewährte Technik seit Jahrzehnten, gut verarbeitet, etwas fummelig beim Zusammenbau, aber das Ergebnis ist top.Kaum ausgepackt, sofort Kartoffelbrei gemacht. Super einfach und besser als mit dem Stampfer (den ich jetzt in den Ruhestand schicke).Werde auch noch die anderen zugekauften Scheiben ausprobieren.Bisher bin ich zufrieden. Schicke ein Update sobald neue Erfahrungen vorliegen.

I wanted a quality food mill to make tomato sauce as I had a bumper crop of heirloom tomatoes this year. Researched a bunch of food mills but always found significant negatives. The worst was when I saw complaints about dark residue coming from the mill and dropping into the food. YUK! I am a mechanical engineer and the only thing I could think of that would cause that would be a poor bushing or bearing on the shaft that either has a lubricant or is trapping food particles. Major YUK! I finally found this food mill. The reviews were good but it was a bit pricey. I have always thought that paying a bit more for better quality is always the best choice. I was not disappointed with this food mill. It is well designed, easy to put together and easy to wash. No places for food to be trapped. No bushing or bearing in the design. All stainless construction. It is solid and operated smoothly. The little spring clip that goes on the bottom to help keep pulp from building up is a great idea and works well. I have thus far processed about 60 lbs of tomatoes and made 22 cups of lovely tomato sauce and 12 cups of Marinara sauce from my garden tomatoes. My process is to roast the tomatoes in the oven on a cookie sheet until they split and then just put them through the food mill. When it seems to stop processing the tomatoes, it means the inside is packed with skins and seeds and I had to stop and pop out the rotating part and give it a good rinse to dislodge the skins and seeds and then pop it back in and keep going.The initial pass would get most of the seeds out. After finishing the first pass on all the tomatoes, I would pour the puree back through for another pass and had virtually no seeds. This worked well for the large red tomatoes but not so much for the grape sized yellow tomatoes. Their seeds were very small and would get through the 2mm holes. No worries, though. You don't really even notice them in the Marinara. I have a total bumper crop of the yellow tomatoes so I mixed them in with the reds to make Marinara.Anyway, no complaints with this food mill. It costs a bit more but does a great job. It is also well built and should last for years. Well worth the money. I look forward to using it next year for seeding blackberries and raspberries.

Molto robusto e funziona molto bene, a vuoto la manopola si gira facilmente ma con il prodotto deve fare un po' di sforza. I materiali sono ottimi la qualità tedesca, la taglia giusta. Un po" duro a sistemarlo e con questo prezzo potrebbe mettere anche un disco di 1 mm.

Je l'ai utilisé pour la purée de pommes de terre et ce moulin à légumes fonctionne très bien. On l'a bien en main et la petite tige à glisser sous la râpe aide à descendre la purée dans la casserole mise en dessous.

This is a lovely little unit which is quite deep for its size and made short work of processing my batch of plum sauce. I did need to buy an additional disk with 1mm holes to get the smooth texture I wanted. It's easy to assemble and easy to clean up afterwards. If it has one drawback it would be the small spring that attaches underneath to secure the disk in place is small & light & easy to lose.
