I just received the food mill, and it has no instructions with it. How do I use the food mill and for what fruits and vegetables?

I used it to make potato dumplings. I boiled some white potatoes, cut them into disks, and ran them through the food mill to mix with flour. I formed the potato/flour mixture into dumplings.

I use the food mill for a variety of fruits and vegetables. You can make mashed potatoes, egg salad, tomato sauce, salsa, etc. You can also use it to make baby food. Depending on how chunky you want your food, pick the appropriate size disc.

I use this mill to make tomato juice and applesauce. It strains the coarse pulp and seeds from cooked tomatoes and nicely turns cooked apples into delicious strained applesauce. I imagine you could smoosh cooked potatoes with it too, but I haven't done it. It's just designed to force cooked food through the screens to remove seeds and any other hull or pulpy parts that you are separating out.

Hi, the grates go into the main bowl with the rounded side up. Put the grinding handle into the center of the grate and lock the two sides into the little slats that stick out from the sides of the main bowl. Just put whatever you want into it, remember that the grate is like a sieve so it will drain out the bottom. You can use whatever fruits, veg you like. It is particularly nice for fluffy whipped potatoes and for making a nice tomato sauce or soup. Hope that helps!

Hi, simply put sliced up fruit in in the mill, I do no more than half full, and turn so fruit goes under blade. Occasionally you will have to turn backwards to allow room for skins, etc to become dislodged. After that batch is done, empty out skins and repeat until finished. I use fruits like peaches, apples, ones that are solid in nature. usually you will need to soften them by cooking in water until they are soft enough to press through sieve. If you use vegetables, cook them first. Tomatoes, you can just slice, and use course plate to process. I use the course one for apple sauce, but use your preference. Hope this helps.. You can also research on the internet, and see if there are some more ideas. This mill is great for baby food..

I've lost my info. I went online and watched how to vidio's for herbs and fruit. Learned more that way, it takes longer than the manual stated. If I need to, I also would go on line using name of product to get instructions.

Good luck...I returned this piece of junk and finally got a Vitamix! If you are into blending hearty veggies like those (as I am), then you should invest in a Vitamix or Blendtec. You won't regret it! :)

I've only used it with the included mixing cup - about a pint - but it is powerful and chews up fruits, veggies, even mixed nuts. I would start with a smaller amount with some liquid in there.

Surprised to hear it didn't have instructions. I love mine and got some good tips from the videos on the LEM website. The best one that helped me is rolling your ground beef into small logs that allows you to drop them into the tube. It makes loading much easier. Go on YouTube to get other ideas.

I have an OLD Juiceman II which still works great. Last year invested in a Vitamix. The best solution I've found is putting the Apples, celery, greens, lemon juice (helps keep things fresh!) in the Vitamix and blend it then poor it through the juicer after the root vegetables are done. It gives out a decent (not great, still leaves it wet) amount of juice that way. The spinners don't work well with the leafy greens. My next purchase will be an Amish juice press to press out the rest.

I can't speak to other food mills, but this one works really well and has a good price. We've used it to rice potatoes for mashed potatoes and have made tomato sauces with it (this is why I bought it). The occasional seed slips through, but it works! If you're looking for perfectly seedless, you'll still need to let the juices pass through a strainer.

Just purchased brand new, no instruction book inside, just washed it, ready to load it with cucumbers to make pickle relish and the darn thing won't even come on. I have done everything I know to do. It will go back to the store tomorrow and I guess I'll be chopping by hand tonight!!

The only info I received with mine was a couple pages explaining how to use it and a couple recipes. U should have received some paper work on it. Contact the Co. U purchased it from.

Contact Food Saver, your machine is broken. I have had several machines in the last 3 years, they are not very durable, but work great. I called them and they sent a replacement machine. Good luck.

The food mill I got has three "sieves" with it but I feel you would need something a bit different because raspberry seeds are very small. I would contact the manufacturer before buying this if that's what you want it mainly for. I'm sorry I can't give a definite answer but my guess is it may not.

Turn it on high and run the vitamix for a few minutes. Soup will be steaming hot. If you have your recipe book it gives recipes and instruction for making a few soups I believe.

I was making peanut butter in mine and it ceased up I put it in reverse and foward several times I learned when it comes to dense or frozen fruits and vegetables smaller amounts are better Not being there I can't say much but take it apart. See if it works if it does good to go... good luck

I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks. I'm going to the grocery today and get some veggies to try it but I have no expectations it will not work. QVC had or has a great buy on another version of the brand and product. You might check it out...but I just love my Ninja so far.Just got back from grocery and made a veggie smoothy. Diced peppers, celery hearts, cilantro, kale, spinach and 1/2 banana (necessary) 1/2 large tomato. Perfect. Pulverized and made into a smoothy depending on how much water you put in it. I used about 1/2 c because of the tomato. (one floret of Broccoli. I hear go lite on Broccoli additions) I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks.

I have certainly used mostly the finest setting--love those zucchini noodles! It is nice to use multiple settings to make a salad more interesting...try narrow spirals for carrots, then wider ones of cucumber. Potatoes have made nice curls on the widest cut.When I put the machine away I make sure to put the smooth side of the cutter down to prevent me from grabbing a sharp blade if I grab it carelessly in the cupboard.

I have used this machine only two times. I believe there is a timer; for exact answer I would have to look it up. I dehydrated apples and persimmons and they came out great. Sorry I was not much help. I would have to look for the instruction booklet and can't find it readily. Sorry
