"Stainless Steel vegetable mill"
After looking at many, decided on this smaller one and have really loved it. Does everything I need it to do and more. Easy clean-up and does not take up a lot of space. Would recommend highly!

"hopeless"
this product was recommended to me by several people, so imagine my surprise when it failed to work at all! i froze a summer's worth of tomatoes, then at thanksgiving i thawed them with the intention of making tomato sauce. i put two completely thawed tomatoes in the mill, started cranking, and they immediately released their water into the pot. i can't make sauce out of water, so i kept cranking, hoping that eventually the pulp would make it's way out. no joy. the pulp and the skin just kept spinning, and the skin got stuck in the holes and plugged the whole thing up. and that was using the plate with the largest holes. maybe it's because the tomatoes were frozen? anyway, i ended up just putting them in a blender skins and all. not ideal, but at least i have something to show for it. not sure if it is just this mill, or if all mills are ineffective.

"Real Good Food Mill"
I am totally satisfied with this food mill.I admit I was a little intimidated when I read some of the reviews saying sieves were hard to change/did'nt mill properly,it didn't come with instructions,etc...toilet paper does not come with instructions either! Believe me,folks this is an awesome,easy-to-use product that I think I will have for a long time!!!!!BUY THIS WITH CONFIDENCE!!! Chef Jimmy D. of BREADBASTARD.

"mostly ok with one big PIA problem"
I won't repeat what wveryone else has said which is generally ok to good. One problem I had that I found annoying was that if what your were straining or pureeing was too thick, it clung to the sides of the strainer requiring you to constantly try to push it down into the blade area, crank a little then push it down again, repeeat repeat repeat. If it was thinner then it might be to thin for your recipe. Of course if what you were straining was more than you needed, you could just throw away what was sticking to the sides and the hell with it.

"Could have been a bit cheaper"
It could have been a bit cheaper but I can't complain. It does a good job. I made leak and potato soup with this and it turned out beautifully. I liked it better than when i used my food processor to make the soup. After cooking, I put it in the dishwasher. No problem. It didn't get rusty or anything. Also beautiful job with tomato sauce. I'd recommend this to anyone.

What our customer's say!

"Awesome Food Mill!!!", I don't understand these negative reviews.......I got one of these mills, and it works beautifully. When you insert the blade assembly, put the pin in the center hole, insert one hook in the side tab, and then hook the second tab into place. You use less force, and get more leverage. It's so easy to do, my 5 year old son could do it!!!!
Don't let the negative reviews bother you about this product. I didn't, and I got a wonderful piece of equipment that should last for many years in my kitchen.
BTW-I'm a former chef that has used all the commercially available equipment in a variety of kitchens, and this is a very easy to use/clean piece of equipment.
Buy one, and you won't be disappointed (unless you're a total spaz!!)

"Great until you try to change the disks.", I absolutely loved this food mill until I tried to change the disk. Neither I nor my husband could get the disk back into the mill properly once I took it out to change disks. I finally pushed so hard the mill broke. Going to try the Oxo next.

"Works Beautifully", Very well made. Sturdy, nice looking, but most important of all, it works great. I think it is easy to assemble and that it turns easily. It does not come with instructions, so if you need to know how to use it read the other good reviews.

There is an online set of directions in one of them. If you are mechanically challenged there are videos at the company web site here.

I love it. It's easy to clean, looks good and works well. Very sharp, easy to clean, dishwasher safe, fits all my pots and bowls. It isn't as fast as a food processor, but it works better, does more, and is very satisfying to use.

The price is really up. I paid 37.99 on March 18th with free shipping and a 4 for 3 offer so you may want to wait for a sale.

"Excellent Food Mill", Love this mill. It is far superior to the old aluminum ones with the little wire bar underneath that food got caught up in. I love the larger size and shape too. Makes wonderful mashed potatoes and tomatoes for soup. No peeling with the food mill! Yeah! I also like the fact that there are 3 different sizes of discs "cutting blades" so I can adjust the size to what I am preparing.

I highly recommend this food Mill

"Great Food Mill", This food mill works great. The people who review this and say that the "blade" is difficult to insert are very confused. The piece of metal that turns around and forces the food through the discs is just that. It is not a blade, and is not sharp. Yes this might be difficult to put together if you have severe arthritis, but for a normal person it should be very easy to put together. There is no need for instructions as this is very simple to understand for anyone who has used a food mill before or seen one used before. This works almost as well as any other I've used before. My only complaint, and I'm still trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong, is that when you reverse the rotation to scrape of the disc, it only allows you to move about a quarter-turn before it catches and stops. It should really let you rotate fully in both directions. That is the only reason I've given this four stars instead of five. And again, I'll change it to five if I figure out it's me doing something wrong. I am overall very pleased with MIU's products.

"Good product", The unit is very well made and does the job quite well. I would recommend it to my friends.

"Extremely disappointing", Very disappointing product. Besides the fact that the disks are not very sharp, the unit is difficult to stabilize on any pot or bowl in our kitchen, making it difficult, if not downright dangerous, to use. it also was missing one of the three disks it was supposed to come with. We got two of one size, and one of another, and as luck would have it, the missing disk was the one we needed most. Any savings completely negated as it's nearly unusuable.

"Guess I don't have the proper technique", I've used this a few times, trying a make some tomato sauce from my home grown tomatoes. But I have trouble with this - its cumbersome to balance on a bowl and turn the handle - the tomatoes seem to get stuck and I'm hand pushing them under the blade. So, after all this wonderful fun, what do I have - tomato juice with seeds! I gave up and put it away. If anyone knows what I am doing wrong - please help me. I used one a million years ago and really can't remember any problems or not being happy with the end product.

"Balanced and Sturdy", I bought this to replace my Amco model from Sur La Table. The AMCO was $80 but was poorly balanced and didn't work well at all. I like this model for several reasons--

1) It balances well on the bowl because of the three leg design
2) It strains well. Please note that you have to crank the handle in both directions to keep the food moving through the holes
3) It comes apart easily for cleaning and reassembles quickly
4) The bowl is wide for holding about 1-2 cups of food at a time

I agree that you can't attach it to a larger bowl because of the short legs, which is the only drawback I have found so far.

In short, I recommend the product and believe it is sturdy enough for long term use, although I only use it occasionally for making applesauce.

"worst buy ever", MIU Stainless-Steel Tomato/Vegetable Mill
I bought this item hoping to strain tomatoes for sauce making and also for soups.The blade simply will not catch the food and push it through, be it tomatoes, potatoes or any other soft vegetables. The food will just spin forever and never get processed. A waste of $30.
