Review on 🍏 Efficiently Make Homemade Apple Sauce with Johnny Apple Sauce Maker Model 250 Food Strainer by Lily Ellison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you can handle juice or pulp, you NEED one of those.

I didn't buy my Victorio from Revain; It was actually a gift from my aunt. If you make tomato sauce or jelly, or otherwise process the juice/pulp, you NEED one of these. It's not that expensive and it's such an improvement over the old wooden pestle/roller conical screen. Victorio is simple: insert the spring and the food screw; Rotate the desired filter cone and fix it. Put on a clear plastic cone that will extend the strainer (this will help the waste get into the bowl). Screw Victorio to the edge of a table or counter. (You need a kitchen table or the edge of the counter. I put mine on the edge of the counter and have a high chair with a juice pan next to it). Pot with lid/juice spout and you're ready to go. This may take a minute or two at most. Then it's intuitive: scoop the tomatoes into a large funnel and turn the handle. Juice and pulp will come out the side of the strainer cone, down the strainer/spout and into your pot. When I'm done, I carefully remove the protective strainer/spout and also pour the remaining pulp into the pan from the outside. In about 5 or 10 minutes I can juice/juice a 4 gallon pot of tomatoes, typically getting about 4 gallons or more of juice. I don't like Mennonites, but this year I have about 50 cans of tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce, and hot sauce in my pantry, along with whole tomatoes. We don't use a lot of jelly, but I made some jelly with this strainer too. I like this product because it's simple, pretty easy to clean and doesn't require electricity. (I think you can buy a motor now, which can come in handy if you're putting hundreds of cans in it, or if you have very bad arthritis.) A child can safely operate it, other than the fact that you often get very hot fruit/juices use /vegetables. Skins/waste are good for chickens or compost. My chickens love scrap as a treat! I can't say enough good things about this little device. In fact, he does what he has to do, that is, he says something.

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to
Cons
  • going away
