My absolute favorite new kitchen appliance to make tomato sauce and strain juice is the Weston Roma Tomato Press. It's not electric but simply a machine that is hand-cranked to make the sauce. It separates the skins and seeds for you. I bought mine at Lehman's.

Home Depot had them in stock for $49.99 with free delivery. I like Lehmans but they’re more expensive.

@Whodaleewho Год назад

My girlfriend loves hers. I modified the handle, I cut off at the first curved section and hooked my cordless drill to the shaft so she would not have to turn the crank, works great! I really enjoy your channel and content. Cheers from Upstate SC.

I never knew you could freeze tomatoes! And then drying the skins to make a thickening powder. Brilliant! I always hate throwing away so much of the tomatoes. Totally incidental to the video but these are game changers for me!

@marthafearsme Год назад

Love my tomato press. AND nice to see someone using a steam canner VS a water bath. So much easier, less energy heating water and time saved. I have been using mine (I have 2 now) for over 30 years! Will try freezing the tomatoes to can when it is cooler!

I bought one this spring, just used it for the first time. WOW, I did about 50 lbs. of fresh raw Romas in less than two hours.

@matthewhuszarik4173 Год назад

I have had an Italian tomato press for thirty years. I bought it from Williams Sonoma I believe. It makes the best fresh tomato sauce for a light marinara. It is also great for making salsa. I have tried getting another for our second home. I tried a couple on Amazon made in China they were total busts. So I found another made in Italy and it works perfectly like the original.

@jaynefranck1 Год назад

Looks like and works same as a Champion Juicer minus the motor. Champions last FOREVER! We bought ours in 1975 and still works like a true champ! Love your Homestead life…Ive learned sooooo much! My husband and I have been married for 52 years, raised our 6 children..Thankful I learned from my mom and sisters how to bake and cook homemade everything! Always had a pot of soup or stew on the stove and sometimes 12 loaves of fresh baked bread every three days! All my kids are great cooks today…Learning homemaking skills is vital and truly a family blessing. Keep up the great work! Thank you for sharing your love of home and hearth!

@TomKD0QKK Год назад

We've had an old Victorio mill for years. It's pretty much the same as what you have there. It gets used extensively during the canning season. It's a great tool. I freeze the tomatoes and pop the skins off. Removing the skins makes the process a lot quicker.

@hoosierpioneer Год назад

It sure looks like one company madethe parts for all the various brands. The red plunger is exactly the same. Sure there's a wide range of prices.

@JP1AO Год назад

Same here. I even found a attachable motor for it on ebay. Then I got a strainer attachment for my electric meat grinder. I haven't found anyone worthy in the family to give the Victorio one too yet.

@dcessna1465 Год назад

Found my old Victoria mill at a thrift store! It works great and saves so much time! It works well with the berry attachment to separate black berries and most of the seeds as well.

@RustyPgh Месяц назад

My sister and each have Victorios, that have processed tomatoes and apple sauce. We heat our apples and tomatoes first and then run it through the strainer. Wonderful tool.

@barbaraanderson4175 Год назад

I have the same attachment for my kitchen aid mixer that does this job much faster. It’s electric and you don’t need to turn the handle. I could do my whole pot in about 3 minutes. It takes longer to put it on the kitchen aid and off. I put it thru at least 4 times to get all the pulp and seeds. I got it at a garage sale for $5.00

@rand-san2095 Год назад

If you have a Kitchenaid stand mixer, other brand meat grinder, or masticating juicer, you can use those machines to be even faster.

This, or the Victorio brand, would be great during a power outage, but honestly, I much prefer my Kitchenaid vegetable strainer attachment.

@randyq3955 24 дня назад

Although not a Weston, I have been using one of these for over 35 years. My dad purchased the first one. He drank tomato juice every morning. He would pick 3 hot bath canners full of tomatoes from the garden, quarter the tomatoes, then cook them. Then he would run them through using the tomato screen like you have done. Then switch to the beery screen with the finer holes. He would run it through again with the berry screen removing the pulp and ending up with juice. The pulp that came out the end was now thick tomato paste. Mom would have to take some of the juice to add to the paste so she could work with it. Now more spending hours cooking down to make paste. He would start picking at 7 am and have everything in jars ready to can by 10 maybe 11. I bought one as soon as I moved out. I stared out using the tomato screen, then the berry screen to get tomato paste. I then used the paste to make my sauce with all the spices.. When I used the sauce I would add a jar of water to thin it back out, one day I questioned why I was doing that. I now just use the tomato screen and can my sauce that way, no need to add water. I made pints and would normally do 40 to 50 a year, one year 78. I have never hot bath canned, always pressure canned everything, no need to worry if the acidity was high enough. I may have 3 or 4 jars that did not seal each year. I have had a freeze dry for 8 or 9 years, one of the first Harvest Rights, but never thought about freeze drying tomato sauce. Will need to experiment with that.

I have been canning for 12+ years and I just bought the electric version of this Weston tomato machine and it is a game changer. Saves so much time in processing tomatoes and way less seeds. I have only used it for tomatoes so far because we are knee deep in the middle of processing tomatoes. But i really want to get some apples and or pears to run thru it for apple sauce and such. They also have an accessory set that has 3 additional screens to the 3 that came with our machine. One of them is for berries and we are eatablishing berries in our garden so i bet that would be great for making james and friut sauces. So many possibilities with this one machine. Worth every penny we spent on it. My husband has never really helped with canning other than getting the canner setup outside over our firepit to keep the heat out of the house. But he even agreed to set this up for me and run tomatoes thru it while I i chopped them up. We also have several bags frozen and when they are defrosted they dont really even have to be chopped before running them thru. One of the best purchases ever too bad I didnt have this when I i first started canning. If you can and process a lot of tomatoes and or fruit get yourself one of these you wont regret it.

@mamoe3 Год назад

I have a similar food Mill made by Victorio. It had that same cheap, red plunger that got food stuck inside because it had a hole on the end. I ended up tossing it and replacing it with a wooden one. So far mine is in good shape after two seasons. But the plastic does seem to make it feel cheap and not very durable. That being said, it’s pretty cool how well it works.

@joeltremblay4554 Год назад

I have a similar machine. When I first started canning tomatoes it was great. However now I just put my tomatoes in a blender skins and all, blend for a few seconds, warm, and can. Everything is cooked down so we don't notice any strange texture even with seeds. I did appreciate learning why sauce sometimes separates. I have wasted jars before fearing an issue in the canning process.

@luckyrobinshomestead Год назад

I got one of those in February for my birthday, only the electric version. I used it this summer to make spaghetti sauce and it was so, so nice. Then I used it on a sugar pie pumpkin for my pumpkin cheesecake bars this fall, which I cooked in the Instant Pot. The time difference was just so worth it. I am glad that I got one. I had wanted one for years. It's never been worth it to me to grow very many tomatoes, but now I'm going to in the coming summer because it just shortens everything down so much. And winter squash, too.

@millennialwoman4680 Год назад

Get the other screens! I also make applesauce after steaming them in a juicer (collect juice and can too,). Makes apple sauce making so fast !

@mojoflyingsolo639 Год назад

I have a Squeezo and have had it for around 40 years. It has 3 screens that I use, the smallest hole one screen I use on blackberries to take the seeds out and the middle and large ones I use on tomatoes. I freeze my tomatoes in gallon bags but before I put them in bags I take all the seeds out when I cut them up. I did 2 batches of tomato sauce the first one I had 13 gallon bags and the second one I had 18 bags. I take them out 24 hours before I like to start processing them. The first thing I do before putting them into the squeezo is put them in a mesh collender to drain all the water from the freezing process. My sauce after funning it through the squeezo was so thick my spatula would stay upright in the sauce. Then I put all the sauce into my roaster and cook on 200 over night then can the next morning. Got 20 quarter pints and 16 pints the first batch and 26 pints the second batch. Would not do tomatoes any other way.

@TomKD0QKK Год назад

@cheriterry441 Год назад

@ka6148 Год назад

I seed my tomatoes by hand Food process the skin and meat Heat to separate juice drain and can The squeezo isn't worth cleaning To make super smooth, food process again until smooth The time/ cleaning to do it with squeezo isn't feasible Maybe if you only make a couple gallons over the summer.. but in reality, make 150 gallons this way will take too long

@jakeforester2705 Год назад

My wife sent me the link to this, for information purposes I'm sure. Yeah, this year we've been using a vegetable mill to do exactly what you're doing, and it's a great timesaver. However, ours is a combo grinder/mill attachment for a Kitchenaide mixer like you have in the background. And that works a treat for this. It's basically the same idea, but the actual separating cone is enclosed with a lid so you don't get all that juice splashing around. After the first batch we did, where I just discarded the first pass "leavings," I did what you suggest and ran them through a second time. I kind of think the Kitchenaide may be better since the mixer is a solid platform to mount the mill on and the continual power gives you both hands to fill the hopper (which is smaller than yours) and plunge the tomatoes. It only has a single sieve screen, so yours may have an advantage if you do actually make pumpkin or do salsa this way. The Kitchenaide has an advantage wherein it also has the screw, cutter, and plates to work as a meat (or whatever) grinder. I like the idea of drying the leavings and grinding them. We'll probably try that when we do the next batch of tomatoes. Nice production and good video. Thanks for sharing! I may look at how you do home freeze drying too.

@christajennings3828 4 дня назад

I wonder if this type would work better for me. I used to have a Vittorio strainer, and i couldn't get it to work at all. As i cranked it, it got tighter and tighter, to the point that I couldn't turn the crank at all any more, after just a few turns.

@kaylapilon1447 Год назад

@MrKoobuh Год назад

I used Melissa's roast/peel method a few times and always had great results, but it was always so time consuming I was ready to give up making tomato sauce. A little research brought me to food mills, and I picked up a Cuisinart brand one to try out. They work so much faster and yield so much more than the hand peeling method. The tabletop device shown here no doubt works faster and with less effort, but does take up more storage space (very relevant in modern kitchens). Can't wait to try making applesauce and seedless jams too!

Here goes, when you thaw the tomato's let them completely and totally thaw (like for 2 days). if you let them sit that long you will be AMAZED at how much liquid comes out of them! Where ever you set then bags of tomato's make sure you have them in a container that will catch that liquid. Also be aware that there will be a bunch of condensation under that container. I promise this will save you so much stove top time you'll dance a jig!

In the early 70's My mom, my sister and I went from Sedro Woolley Wa. down to Tacoma to a store called The Garden Way Store. It was an amazing place!, all about gardening and food preservation. My mom bought a gadget called a Squeezo Strainer. She bought it for making applesauce but didn't like the smooth texture so gave it to me. It looks very much like your strainer. The shortcut I make with applesauce is, I wash apples, stem them if needed, cut off bad spots, if needed, quarter them, throw in basket of my steam juicer, steam until almost releasing juice. let cool a little, (apples should be fork tender, put through strainer. And I also put, what my kids call the poop pile, through again. Sometimes 3 times. My daughter always reminded me, Mom when you die, don't forget I want the squeezo and great, great aunt Stella's 1942 pressure canner.

That has remained in the top five of great deals. It is all metal, made in America and I have bought the different screens. It works the same as the one you demonstrated. No matter the brand it is a wonderful tool. I have used it every year but one since getting it. Victorio makes one, too. If you have a garden and preserve your harvest you NEED and DESERVE one of these tools!

Thank you for this video I couldn’t remember certain things from when I was a kid and this reminded me of things

Lol i have fond memories of visit family in italy where we helped harvest and process tomatos. The only jobs males where allowed was picking the tomatos, carrying the tomatos and cranking the mill, under the watchful eye of the nonna's and aunties. Everything else was the nonna's leading and teaching the women in the canning process. We males did the donkey work :)
