Review: An epiphany. So much easier, it's like a miracle. - I promised someone I'd come back and review the model 250 when I got mine. Here's the update--it works just as well as the old model. The table clamp is better, but the way the screen attaches is worse, since you have to grab onto it to take it apart now. It leaks just as the old model did, but a little less. All in all though, it works like a charm and turns out a beautiful job with little work. The review below still stands for the newer model. I can a LOT of tomatoes. This year I did 30-50 pounds a week, all summer. My old process: wash tomatoes. Cut slits in the bottom of tomatoes. Dunk tomatoes in boiling water. Once the skins split, dunk in ice water. Peel the tomatoes. Cut out the core. Cut off green shoulders. Cut off bad bits. Put tomato in saucepan. Crust tomatoes with potato masher. Cook down the tomatoes, process in water bath canner. This takes ALL DAY. Then a friend took pity on me and loaned me her Victorio Strainer. It's at least 30 years old, probably older and still in great shape. The first time I used it, it was like the heavens had opened and angels began to sing. Here's my new process: Wash tomatoes. Cut off bad bits. Cut tomato in half or quarters. Run through the strainer. Cook down and process. DONE. The resulting puree is gorgeous and seed and peel free. I can use tomatoes with blossom end rot--just cut that bit off. I can use all my cherry tomatoes that I could never preserve before. There is almost no waste--after you run the tomatoes through once, dump all the peels and cores back in and run them again. You'll be shocked at how much more juice and pulp comes out. The resulting waste is almost dry. I had a gallon of waste from 50 pounds of tomatoes. This thing is completely amazing. It does leak a bit. Don't know if that's because it's old, or it's the nature of the beast. I DO NOT CARE. The screen is a bit of a pain to clean. I DO NOT CARE. This thing is so much faster and so much better than doing it all by hand, these small annoyances are nothing. We also did 100 pounds of Concord grapes for juice with this, and it was awesome. I'm here to buy my own so I can return the one I'm using. Oh, just save yourself the aggravation and buy the accessory pack while you're here. Once you start using it for something like tomatoes, you'll look around and want to do grapes, or salsa, or pumpkin... better get those accessories now.
Review: Huge time saver, cleaning is a breeze - I used this product for the first time this week and it is fabulous. I picked blueberries and wanted to turn them into syrup. So I simmered them on the stove for a while in a little water and mashed them with a potato masher. I had not removed stems or flowers, I just washed them. After they were soft I put them through the Victorio food strainer and in no time at all I had all the juice and pulp ready to cook down for syrup. All stems, flowers and virtually all of the tiny blueberry seeds were removed. Only about a cup of waste remained from over ten pounds of blueberries. I’ve used a food mill but it is a pain because you have to constantly clean it to remove the compressed waste material. Additionally, you have to clamp the mill to your bowl and set it on a no-slip mat or it moves around enough to make it difficult to turn. My helper hand is always very tired after using the mill from holding the bowl still enough to turn the crank. This food strainer has no such problems. It clamps securely to a standard Formica counter top so all you have to do is turn the handle, which is easy. It does leak a small amount of juice from where the handle inserts into the device, but a towel on the floor underneath is sufficient to avoid a mess. The splatter screen/spout is relatively low to the table so a shallow bowl is required. My 4 coup Pyrex measuring cup fits but the 8 cup does not. The residue is spit out the side into a waiting bowl, so the only time you have to clean it is at the end of your job. A regular scrub brush works well to clean the bits from the holes in the screen. The whole thing was easy and very effective. I’m very impressed!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is this different from a juicer??**
A: It keeps the pulp just gets rid of the skins and seeds, as in partially cooked apples for applesauce and tomatoes for pasta sauce. A juicer literally keeps the juice and gets rid of all the fibres skin and seeds!

**Q: I want to use it for apple sauce.  Will the pulp be too fiberous for this strainer?  How much of it do you lose with the skins and seeds?**
A: I have only used it for my tomato sauce.  And if it makes apple sauce as good as my tomato sauce, then I would purchase this.  I was amazed on how it knew to strain the skins and seeds.  I love this appliance!

**Q: Does this applesauce maker leak around the gaskets/strainer part?  I have an old one that leaks a LOT and makes a big mess underneath.  Thanks!**
A: Mine is new and does not leak where the strainer is attached to the main unit.  It has a 'rubber' (could be soft plastic...I don't know) ring which serves as a gasket where the strainer is attached to the main unit.  I believe the 'rubber' ring is absolutely important, as if it was not there, applesauce would likely squish out there.

**Q: how many quarts does it hold?**
A: The feed hopper will hold a decent amount.
But your holding solids. Not sure how many quarts you would get from a hopper full.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT for canning tomato sauce!
*by G***R on September 7, 2014*

I got the strainer for processing tomatoes into tomato sauce and it does a FANTASTIC job! The unit attaches securely to my counter and the handle is easy to turn. If you're processing a LOT of tomatoes, it's helpful to have a "canning buddy" to do the turning or you might wish to purchase the optional motor. After processing the tomatoes, I ran the discarded skin through the machine one more time and got a good bit of additional juice and pulp. What remained was dry-as-a-bone peel and seeds. HINT: Strain the sauce using a wire strainer to keep from having to cook it down. Can the thick pulp as sauce and can the thinner tomato juice as juice or soup base. Saves a lot of time and you still use the entire tomato. I also purchased the salsa strainer and found it too chunky for sauce and too mushy for salsa. That, however, is a personal preference. Other's might find it "just right". My only complaint is that the clear plastic chute that attaches to the metal strainer is very flimsy. This is where the discarded peel is routed. I'm fearful that I'll accidentally break the chute when trying to attach or remove it from the strainer. I do wish that piece was sturdier. The rest of the machine is heavy and well made. The strainer is difficult to clean after use due to tiny bits of tomato being stuck in it, as would be expected. A toothbrush really makes cleaning of the strainer very easy.
