He must know something that I don't because, it has been my experience with the Villaware Food Strainer that the finer it is the more likely it is to plug up. I get it plugged up most often when I try to run a batch through for a second time.
I have since learned that it can be used for removing skins and seeds OR juicing, with almost no pulp. I'll explain: Back when I first began playing with it, it was constantly plugging up. Although I was to learn that I was trying to make it work faster than it was intended to, I initially thought there was a flaw in the design. I called both the manufacturer and the distributor and both offered zero suggestions. Suspecting a design flaw, I bought a weaker spring from the hardware store and did get it to work better. After I learned to work it more slowly, I noticed that when I used the finest screen and the weaker spring, I obtained mostly juice and when I used the stock spring with whatever screen I got pulp and juice.
