Has anyone used it in making tomato sauce? I want to make sure it traps the seeds and skins. THANKS!

Yes, it does! We discovered that you have to cut the tomatoes into small pieces in order for them to get caught, so that they don't just float out in front of the turning Mill. It does trap the seeds quite well! Mike and Judi Orlando

Yes. It works great. One of the best tools I have in my kitchen. There are several blades. You can choose the smallest one to make your sauce.

No I haven't. I've only used it for sauces and absolutely love it. It is so powerful though I would think it would work just fine.

I'm not sure if the B2B food strainer is like mine, and I don't have a salsa screen. What are you putting through that has seeds coming through? I use the regular screen for apples and Autumn Olives and it comes through very satisfactory. I have a berry screen, but it didn't do as well for Autumn Olives, and I've not used it for anything else. It's supposed to be good for tomatoes, but I like my old fashioned cone shaped sieve and wooden plunger for tomatoes. Sorry that I can't tell you more.

I am going to purchase this canner for my summer bounty. Lost so many quarts of tomatos this past summer to water bath canning so am going to try this. I have a glass top stove and am going to use my gas b-b-q outside that has a side burner on it. Has anyone else used this before and does it work ok??

I would love to see what it does to tomatoes as well, I want to buy this for tomatoes and onions so bad...

It is really for soft fruits and veges. I tried it on an orange and it will take the peelings off but only to the white underneath.It damages the fruit if you go any deeper. It is great for tomatoes and that is what I bought it for. I have used it on potatoes and cucumbers and it works good.

Personally, I use it almost exclusively for large batches of spaghetti sauce and Italian sausage or meat sauce and I let it simmer for hours. I gently stir every half hour as usual, but no problems with anything I cook. This is my third Tramontina. Have an 18 qt., 20 qt, and now this 24 qt. This is my preferred brand for mass cooking soups, sauces, chili. I love it! I hope this helps. :-)

I don't know. I think it is great with tomatoes. The quality is great. I would think it would work just fine.

I've made spaghetti sauce with it. When you stop looking at this machine as a "Jam & Jelly Maker", and realize it's a cooker with a built-in stirrer, things open up a little. But keep in mind, it comes to a boiling temp of its own setting, and the stirrer needs things to be mashed up pretty good. Perfect for things like spaghetti sauce, maybe homemade catsup, but I haven't come up with too many other things as yet...

Yes I have and EVEN though I LOVE my Squeezo I will not use it agian for Salsa. We like our salsa chunkier and with less seeds. The largest screen lets seeds though (has to with the larger holes) but presses the tomato into too fine of a pulp for our tastes.

Hi, I have never used it for tomato cuttings, but I have successfully used it to help baby orchids grow roots after losing the mother plant. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer about tomatoes. :)

I had no problem with a tuna can ... But you won't be able to use the can top to press the excess moisture from the fish as the top works like a lid. So far all sizes of cans open without a problem, but I have yet to try those tiny cans of tomato paste. It works great on the little 8oz cans of tomato sauce. Dunno if it would work on those giant #10 cans you see in restaurant supplies but I would be surprised if it did not.

No, none at all. Here is the list of ingredients from the can: Organic Tomato Puree (water, tomato paste), Organic Onion Powder, Naturally Derived Citric Acid, Organic Garlic Powder.That's everything, and let me add, the sauce is DELICIOUS!!! You can use it right from the can, or "doctor it up" as I sometimes do, with a bit of meat, olive oil, extra chopped onions and/or garlic, or whatever you like. Try it!

I have not used it to juice tomatoes and my concern is whether the tomato seeds are so small they will fit through the holes and compromise the quality of the product. Why don't you just steam a batch and see if you get what you want. Good luck. It is an amazing piece of equipment.

I don't see why not. I will probably try it later in the growing season when I make tomato sauce. i have a much larger pan that I use for that but it is very heavy so I will try this one when making a smaller batch, Lord willing and the harvest is good this year.

I am using my own tomato seeds. Actually, I saved the little plastic inserts that held the sponges--they clean up fine. For seed starting I replaced the little sponge with half a rockwool mini cube. It works great. I was thinking of buying the master gardeing kit but I haven't yet. I'm still on the fence about that, cause I have my own nutrients that I can add to the garden instead and I don't have to spend $40.

Hi Lindsey. I did mine and they look great. My father in law spilt salsa on mine and it sat overnight before I saw it. I used a cotton cloth and a gentle laundry stain remover and it came right off. I was surprised as I figured the red tomato juice would sink in and still be seen. Just be careful to rub gently and in multiple directions so you don't ruin the material texture. It is like grain sack but thin. I love mine for the price
