FOOD TIPS

TOMATOES:
The Tomato Press &
Sauce Maker will easily puree fresh
tomatoes, remove the seeds, core and
skin with no pre-cooking whatsoever.
Fresh vine ripened tomatoes work
best. Remove the stems, wash and
quarter the tomatoes, then load the
Hopper half way full with the quartered
tomatoes. Guide the tomatoes into
the neck of the Tomato Press & Sauce
Maker using the Stomper, turn the
Handle in a clockwise direction. The
skins and seeds will come out of the
Waste Funnel, while the delicious
puree slides into your bowl ready to be
seasoned and eaten. If the tomatoes
are extra pulpy, a little unripe or difficult
to strain, parboil them to make them
softer. After par boiling, allow to cool before straining. If excessive liquid backs up
into the Hopper continue turning the Handle until the liquid runs through the machine
before guiding more tomatoes into the neck of the Strainer.
APPLES AND PEARS:
For best results apples and pears should be softened before
processing with the Tomato Press & Sauce Maker. This is easily accomplished
without peeling or even coring the apples! Quarter the fruit before or after softening.
Place the fruit in a pot with about 1/2 full of water. Set the heat to medium, cover,
and let them steam until they are soft. For a little extra flavor you can use cider to
steam the apples. After removing the fruit from the pot, strain it through the Tomato
Press & Sauce Maker using the standard Screen. The cores, skins and seeds will
come out of the Waste Funnel, while the delicious puree slides into your bowl ready
to be seasoned and eaten. If the Tomato Press & Sauce Maker is too hard to turn,
or it jams, the fruit may need further softening.
BERRIES:
The Tomato Press & Sauce Maker will make it easy to create homemade
jams and jellies. Combine different berries and fruits to create custom flavors. With
the optional Berry Screen (Model No. 07-0855 sold separately) you can easily
separate even the tiniest seeds from raspberries and strawberries. If you like your
jellies thicker just add a few crushed berries to the puree or use a Screen with larger
holes.
PUMPKIN, SQUASH, POTATOES, ETC:
Using the optional Pumpkin Screen (Model No.
07-0857 sold separately) creates incredibly smooth pie fillings or purees. Use this
Screen to also make breads, cakes, or even mashed potatoes without peeling. Just
cut these products into 1" (2.5 cm) squares or slices. Boil or bake until tender. Allow
to cool. For pumpkin and squash scoop the pulp out of its skin and run it through the
Tomato Press & Sauce Maker. Potatoes can be cut into cubes, boiled until tender
then run right through the Tomato Press & Sauce Maker for super smooth or chunky
mashed potatoes with no peeling.
GRAPES:
Using the optional Grape Spiral (Model No. 07-0856 sold separately) and
standard Screen, to create gallons of delicious grape juice in just minutes. Just wash
the grapes, pull them from the stems, and the Tomato Press & Sauce Maker does
the rest. Great for the home wine maker.
FRUITS WITH LARGER PITS:
For fruits like peaches, cherries, mangos, avocados*, and
anything else with a large seed, you must remove the seed to prevent jamming the
mechanism. Don't worry about the skin or the core, the Tomato Press & Sauce Maker
will easily remove them and send them out through the Waste Funnel. If the fruit is firm
like an apple or pear, remember to soften them by steaming or baking slightly before
loading them into the Tomato Press & Sauce Maker. * Avocados must be peeled
before straining.
