Before food processors there were food mills, and they are still the best tool for many recipes. A hand-cranked mill cuts more gently than the processor's whirling blade, and the mill's screens sieve out seeds, skins and stems instead of pulverizing them.

Use this stainless steel 2-quart mill to make mashed fruit, potatoes, beans, fine sauces and healthy homemade baby food.

Included are two stainless screens (2.2 and 5 mm) for your choice of textures. This extremely well made food mill comes apart for easy cleaning and it's dishwasher safe.
