Food grinder

[cleosdad]

Have any of you heard of a Squeeze-o-straino , it's a food grinder that looks like a regular grinder for tomatoes or apples, we would heat tomatoes in a microwave [apples] till quite hot almost rendered down, then grind through the strainer, it would separate the seeds and skin from the juice , there are different screens available for coarseness, makes making apple sauce or tomatoes juice a breeze.

We had never heard of one until this past fall. Then an older couple from church insisted that we try theirs and it worked great. They had two of them and both were older he had found one new in a box but was still dated. Do you know if they are still produced?
We recently bought the fruit and vegi strainer (and the food grinder) attachment for our kitchen-aid mixer that supposedly does the same thing. I can't wait to try it! ;D

I've had one for years! I use it every fall for making applesauce and tomato juice. They also have screens for grapes. It's a really nice thing to have around.

I'm not sure if they still do, but Cabela's used to carry those screens for use on their meat grinders.

the squeezo is a great tool.i hunted around all last summer for a good deal and found it on e-bay.thatt hing will do tomatoes before you can get the water boiling doing it the other way.no more dipping and peeling toamtoes for me.wash and run them through the squeezo.it is a great tool.

Post a picture if you have one, A squeezo-o-straino seems like a potato ricer the way you describe it . I never saw one?

My wife is working out how to post pictures, we have had one for almost 20 years, will check on where to get one, would think that Yoders store in Shipshawna Ind. has them. Steve

You can find them from time to time on ebay. Jsut do a search on a Victoria food strainer! You'll find them. They're set up like a meat grinder, only the sauce comes out the strainer and the seeds and peels come out the end.
