KITCHEN CROP Johnny Apple Sauce Maker, Tomato Sauce Maker, Remove Skins & Seeds From Produce, Model 250 Clamp Based Food Strainer (Basic Strainer)

Other than the tripping little bit it works fine

This sauce maker is fantastic for apples (haven't yet tried it with anything else). I suddenly had well over a hundred apples to process and this device made it ridiculously easy.After washing them, I just cross quarter each apple and pop off the stem. I then cook the apples in about a 1/2" of water until they're soft stirring often. Takes about 15 - 20 minutes per pot load. Then the cooked apples get moved into a very large bowl to cool. While that's happening, I start another pot of apples. Once that next batch is cooking, I run the apples through the Johnny Applesauce. Really easy cranking and the sauce comes out perfectly. I got about 25 quarts of applesauce made and bagged for freezing in 2 hours.The device is easy to put together (but read the directions as there are nuances you don't want to miss) and take apart. Care must be made to how the gasket is seated in the collar of the sieve. The gasket is thin and made of a weird material (silicone?) and can creep or fold over if not very carefully seated. Worth paying attention to. Also, definitely oil the spiral auger tip as instructed.Good tool. Would have loved a more robust version (all metal) but that's just not done anymore. Hand washed in a few minutes. Good purchase, especially when on sale.Mine doesn't leak at all and was quite tidy to use.

I’ve always HATED canning tomatoes in the past. It took forever to remove skins and it was so messy. I just called my mom to ask if she had any more tomatoes ready to can.-CRAZY FAST!!!- Easy to assemble!- very few parts (all of which seem very well made. Only one to question longevity is the one where the skin and seeds come out)- East to clean and dry. No small crevices to try and clean- So little waste. Even less than skinning themI had a small batch of tomatoes to can do I thought I’d try this out. (I bought during Prime days in July) It took probably 5 minutes to put them through. The longest part was washing them!This changes my entire view on tomatoes! Ready to do some bushels, just waiting on Mother Nature!

Fácil de armar en cualquier superficie, muy práctico

It‘s a great and handy tool, works pretty well. But it‘s cheap made, way to cheap. The inner parts start to rust right after the first use. That‘s because the parts are simply galvanized, not stainless steel. I did it right as shown in the manual, hand wash it and dry it. To be honest it‘s nearly impossible to dry out alle the little spaces and edges and surprise, surprise, rust.

This device works, but not as well as the original Victorio strainer. It has a lot of dead space behind the auger that wastes a lot of fruit.
