Paderno World Cuisine Sieve for Tin Food Mill with 5/64-Inch Perforations

This Paderno World Cuisine sieve for the 8-quart tin food mill with 5/64-inch perforations is used to strain or puree fruits and vegetables. By placing cooked fruits or vegetables in the mill and turning the crank, the semi-circular blade oversweeps, compresses and scrapes the food. The bar that straddles the container applies constant pressure against the cutting plate and crushes the food, while retaining seeds, skins and fibers. The basket sieve cutting plate allows for larger amounts of food to be milled at one time. This food mill¿s output is approximately 10 lbs. per minute and fits on any 10¼¿ to 24¿ receptacle. This sieve is sold separately from the mill.
