We have a Victoro (I hope that is spelled right) strainer that looks a lot 
like the one pictured on the Lehman's site.  I think that Straino was another 
popular brand. We bought it in the mid-1970s and have used it a lot.  Used to 
use it to do all of our tomatoes, applesauce (when we wanted smooth apple 
sauce, using cooked apples) and other fruits and vegetables.  Since the boys 
have grown up and no longer are willing to spend a morning cranking the food 
mill, and we grow less tomatoes, we use our Champion juicer to do our 
tomatoes in recent years.  My wife and I can get a 5 gallon kettle or 2 ready 
to start simmering before I go to work at 7am if we get right at it when we 
get up in the morning--of course the tomatoes were picked the day before.

        Hello,
         
        Has anyone tried the food mill listed at Lehman's? (I didn't find it 
anywhere else).

        Can it be this good? 
        The Mehu-Lisii steam juicer happy talk has restored my faith in the 
possiblities.
         
        Any other recomendations for workin' food mills?
