Review on 🍽️ Enhance Your Culinary Skills with the OXO Good Grips Food Mill! by Mariana Vasquez

Our tomato garden was particularly rich this year. Prepare sauces and soups. I bought an expensive Williams-Sonoma meat grinder a few years ago, but it worked so poorly that I took it back. This year I did some research and decided to try the OXO Good Grips Meat Grinder and it works flawlessly. All of these tomatoes were mashed up in no time, and peeling them was an easy task. I haven't tried grinding other foods yet, but I bet this would work well for applesauce too. A few important tips: Cook the tomatoes in boiling water. 1-2 minutes to peel and cut into chunks large tomatoes before chopping. Make sure the strainer at the bottom of the bowl is inserted with the point up, otherwise it won't work. As you turn the handle to mash the tomatoes, back off a few turns from time to time to redistribute the tomatoes. Work in batches so you don't overfill your food bowl, rinsing off any leftover seeds and husks between each serving. Scrape off any thick juice stuck to the bottom. For those interested, here's a great, easy Parmesan Chicken Soup recipe you can make with a pound of tomatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups chopped onion and 1 tsp. salt and cook for 8 minutes until tender. Add 1 tbsp. l. chopped garlic. and ½ tsp. Red pepper flakes, cook 1 minute. Add 6 cups Swanson Chicken Broth. Add 1 pound mashed tomatoes and 2 tbsp. l. tomato paste. Add 2 tsp. chopped fresh oregano and 1 tbsp. , then puree the soup with a hand blender. Add 1 pound boneless chicken, cut into chunks. Add 4 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper and add a little sugar if needed. Enjoy your meal!
