FOOD TIPS
TOMATOES: The Food Strainer & Sauce Maker will easily puree fresh tomatoes,
remove the seeds, core and skin with no pre-cooking whatsoever. Fresh vine ripened
tomatoes work best. Remove the stems, wash and quarter the tomatoes, then load the
Hopper half way full with the quartered tomatoes. Guide the tomatoes into the neck of
the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker using the Stomper, turn the Handle in a clockwise
direction. The skins and seeds will come out of the Waste Funnel, while the delicious
puree slides into your bowl ready to be seasoned and eaten. If the tomatoes are extra
pulpy, a little unripe or difcult to strain, parboil them to make them softer. After par boiling,
allow to cool before straining. If excessive liquid backs up into the Hopper continue
turning the Handle until the liquid runs through the machine before guiding more tomatoes
into the neck of the Strainer.
APPLES AND PEARS: For best results apples and pears should be softened before
processing with the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker. This is easily accomplished without
peeling or even coring the apples! Quarter the fruit before or after softening. Place the
fruit in a pot with about 1/2 full of water. Set the heat to medium, cover, and let them steam
until they are soft. For a little extra avor you can use cider to steam the apples. After
removing the fruit from the pot, strain it through the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker using
the standard Screen. The cores, skins and seeds will come out of the Waste Funnel,
while the delicious puree slides into your bowl ready to be seasoned and eaten. If the
Food Strainer & Sauce Maker is too hard to turn, or it jams, the fruit may need further
softening.
BERRIES: The Food Strainer & Sauce Maker will make it easy to create homemade
jams and jellies. Combine different berries and fruits to create custom avors. With the
optional Berry Screen (Model No. 07-0855 sold separately) you can easily separate even
the tiniest seeds from raspberries and strawberries. If you like your jellies thicker just add
a few crushed berries to the puree or use a Screen with larger holes.

PUMPKIN, SQUASH, POTATOES, ETC: Using the optional Pumpkin Screen
(Model No. 07-0857 sold separately) creates incredibly smooth pie llings or purees. Use
this Screen to also make breads, cakes, or even mashed potatoes without peeling. Just
cut these products into 1” (2.5 cm) squares or slices. Boil or bake until tender. Allow to
cool. For pumpkin and squash scoop the pulp out of its skin and run it through the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker. Potatoes can be cut into cubes, boiled until tender then run right
through the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker for super smooth or chunky mashed potatoes
with no peeling.
HELPFUL HINTS
• It is normal when straining large quantities of food with a high moisture content like
tomatoes, to see liquid back up into the Hopper. Simply continue turning the Handle
until all the liquid disappears from the Hopper and neck of the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker.
GRAPES: Using the optional Grape Spiral(Model No. 07-0856 sold separately) and
standard Screen, to create gallons of delicious grape juice in just minutes. Just wash the
grapes, pull them from the stems, and the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker does the rest.
Great for the home wine maker.
FRUITS WITH LARGER PITS: For fruits like peaches, cherries, mangos, avocados*,
and anything else with a large seed, you must remove the seed to prevent jamming the
mechanism. Don’t worry about the skin or the core, the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker will
easily remove them and send them out through the Waste Funnel. If the fruit is rm like an
apple or pear, remember to soften them by steaming or baking slightly before loading them
into the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker. * Avocados must be peeled before straining.
• Depending on the food you are processing, it may be necessary to occasionally
scrape pulp from the Screen of the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker. A rubber spatula is
ideal for this.
• The Food Strainer & Sauce Maker is equipped with an extra Large Hopper. It
is best to ll the Hopper half full leaving space around the middle to guide food into the
throat of the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker using the Stomper.
• If there is excessive pulp exiting the Waste Funnel, run the pulp through the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker a second time to fully extract every bit of juice. To get the most
out of the fruits and vegetables, strain the skins and seeds from the Waste Funnel a
second time.
• Operating the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker while empty is not recommended.
The juice from the fruits and vegetables act as a lubricant for the mechanism and
reduces wear on the components.
• The standard Screen that comes with the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker is ideal
for most foods, such as: Apples*, Tomatoes, Apricots*, Avocados (must be peeled),
Carrots*, Cherries, Cranberries*, Peaches (remove pit before straining), Potatoes*,
Pears*. *These foods should be softened by steaming, par boiling or baking before
straining.
•IMPORTANT NOTE: ALWAYS FOLLOW RECOMMENDED CANNING,
FREEZING AND DEHYDRATING PROCEDURES WHEN PRESERVING ANY
FOODS.
CAUTION! It is important to follow the “Food Safety” guidelines outlined in this
manual. For the most up to date instruction visit the USDA website.
