Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Food Mill
Customer Review: oxo food mill
Summary: 5 Stars
Well put together. Three grinding plates very handy. Much better value than most others I've seen in stores. Works well.Customer Review: Too small? Not quite.
Summary: 5 Stars
With some trepidation, I ordered this food mill after reading the reviews that said it was too small. I thought to myself that it couldn't be any smaller than the traditional one-screen Foley food mills--the ones without detachable screens--and when I got it in the mail, I wondered just what the reviewers who said it was too small were talking about.
Sure, if you have one of the Roma food mills or the out-of-production Squeezo Strainer (and if you can get one of those, go for it, because they are all stainless steel and last forever) you can make a lot more. However, for smaller batches, it's so much nicer to have an easily cleaned, *large* food mill with detachable screens. Since I live alone, and sometimes just make enough for me or perhaps an experimental recipe that I don't want to initially make a lot of, this is perfect for my needs.
So if you were hesitating at the too small reviews, it is larger than the old Foley food mills. And much easier to clean as well. Go for it! :)
Customer Review: Good product, but too small
Summary: 3 Stars
The mill works pretty well, but it's really a little too small for most applications. It's very time consuming and somewhat difficult to do something as simple as puree tomatoes.Customer Review: A good little tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as an adjunct to a number of other "little" tools that are particularly needed for a switchover to 100% "home-prepared" foods. (There is need to go "organic and natural/no preservatives, etc." around here.)
My first project was applesauce and it worked great. Since then I've played with machine on making mashed potatoes (using it instead of the typical masher), mashed bananas (for no good reason except to see it perform on something uncooked and fairly dense), some berries to make a sauce, and even kiwi fruit. It's an excellent product and works fine for everything I've tried.
The machine has legs which spread wide enough to go over any pan I have, or fold in so that it can be placed inside a shallow bowl. It rinses cleans in a snap and is dishwasher safe if you procrastinate rinsing off the blades. It's no big deal to store -- I just kerplunked it on top of my colander so it's always handy. I use it about three times a week so that the "investment" of the quite reasonable Amazon price made it a good buy.
Customer Review: love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to replace a food mill that had been my grandmothers... function finally won out over sentimentality - and am I glad! My daughter and I make apple sauce almost weekly and this is so sturdy and easy to use that she can do the turning all by herself (she is almost 5). Easy to clean too!
