Technical informations

A food mill is typically a manually powered device with a knob on top. It is shaped like an inverted cone with fixed support or folding support and be held stable while you are pouring in the food to be sauced and turning the crank. The bottom is perforated and it strains the food being ground into the receiving bowl.

There is a grinding plate attached to the crank. As you turn the crank, the food is mashed down onto a perforated disk at the bottom of the food mill, where it is strained through the holes into the bowl you have placed under it. Food mills often come with interchangeable perforated discs for achieving finer or coarser purées. If you reverse the direction of the crank after you've extracted as much as possible, the seeds, skins and other debris are brought up to the top of the grinding plate. Then you can easily invert the food mill over a kitchen trash or compost can and discard the debris.
