food mills

Manual mashing tools

A food mill is a hand-cranked kitchen tool that purees soft foods while straining out seeds, skins, and fibers.

A perforated disk at the bottom and a rotating blade force food through, producing smooth results for tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, or baby food.

Unlike blenders or food processors, food mills work mechanically and give the cook more textural control.
