Italian Tomato Press

Comment: This works great with cooked tomatoes though perhaps not with raw judging by the one star review. I just quarter them & boil them down with some salt and a little basil, cool them and then put them through the press - delicious tomato sauce comes out one chute while seeds and skin come out the other. I am left with fabulous tomato sauce with very little effort.

Comment: This press works great for other things besides tomatoes. I have tried it for applesauce and apricots. I haven't gotten enough tomatoes yet to try them. It worked great on the fruit. For the price, I think it is a good product.

Comment: Like the title says, piece of plastic junk. I went to make home made tomato sauce. I sliced up half a dozen Roma tomatoes, put them in the press, cranked the handle less then a dozen times, and the handle snapped. Piece of junk, stay away!!!

Comment: Purchased this item to process garden tomatoes because I hate processing by hand. A few cranks and I had puree for making sauce. Seeds and skin out one side...good stuff out the other. Highly recommend for Faux Cooks like me :)

Comment: We bought this tomato press for use with making Blackberry Jelly. It was much easier to render the juice from the berries than using a food mill. We were able to convert 4 quarts of berries to Jelly, completely jared and ready in 2 hours. Of course we think this product will work well with other types of berries and we are looking forward to making tomato products with it. It was very easy to clean. The only minimal problem we saw was some of the juice did run back through the handle but this was minimal. We also found the machine was a much cleaner operation and much easier on our hands. I would buy this again.
