Is this a good product for making tomato sauce with the Champion juicer, or is this different from the "tomato sauce screen" on their website?

I would probably go with the actual "tomato sauce screen" on their website, I think you'll have more mess than it's worth trying to use this one in its stead.

I am sorry I did not know that Champion had a tomato sauce screen, I will check into that item. As far as the large hole strainer it does let more pulp through than the standard strainer, but it may still be too fine for tomato sauce. I haven't tried making tomato sauce with the Champion Juicer yet. I have had my current Champion for over 20 years and it is still working fine. If you were to put the cover on the bottom and puree the tomato out the end it might make a very nice tomato sauce.

I'd give it a C. The pulp still has a lot of juice in it and when I'm juicing beets, sometimes a small mist comes out even though it is locked tight. My previous one was a slow juicer and the pulp was really dry. I wouldn't recommend it.

Hi, I have a champion juicer and yes it makes the juice thicker, more pulp will come to your cup and you generate less waste. I'm not sure if it is faster I didn't pay attention to the speed difference.

Just used it to make tomato juice this past week and it was super easy. Take off stems, cut off bad spots, quarter or smaller, if like, then crank away. No pre-cooking. Pressure cook or waterbath to your preference. Before the canning part it took about an hour to make 17 quarts of juice. Making tomato sauce this week. Involves reducing the liquid content down before canning. A lot of time involved in that.

Not very well! Wanted to make sauce and came out so thin like tomato juice. Too much work also. Would not recommend this product.

It works great, takes everything out and just leaves puree. Make sure the internal screw( It is between the screen) has some chopped tomatoes for lubrication. I cut tomatoes in quarters to feed in chute easier. I saves so much time and work.

This listing is for The motor that goes on the VKP250 Sauce maker. The screen that does come on the sauce maker is called the standard screen. It does Tomato and Apple Sauce very well.

A regular tomato.......1/4 inch? We've never had a problem with this and we've beeen slicing tomatoes for a long time. How cool is this that you're asking? Good luck; I think you should buy it and you'll like it!

I wouldn't recommend it unless you want liquid salsa. It is great for tomato juice and a

You also get pulp from it. So if you want to make a sauce you can strain the and separate the juice and get two products for the effort of one.

On my unit the tomato juice came out too thick to flow freely through the holes on the strainer so I removed it and a few seeds found their way into the juice also. Other than that it seemed to work great and the skin found its way into the pulp bin no problem.

Hi The question is how does it compare to the CHAMPION, You need to say what you are trying to compare it to. The Champion Juicer is the best all around juicer period. I will start with carrots, If you look at about any juice book recipe most of the them have carrots in the mix, carrots have a lot of nutrition and healing. I will tell you the Champion will juice carrots with the best of them. Also the Champion will juice any kind of fruit, fresh or frozen. A lot of juicers won't do frozen very well, A Champion Juicer will juice leafy greens. Also the Champion Juicer has a grain mill attachment to make your own flour. I guess what I'am trying to say is a CHAMPION will do anything. The other juicer will leave a stringy pulp in it that you might not like, The Champion will leave pulp to but it masticates it a lot more so its real smooth. I will say this that the other juicer will not make fruit sorbet very good, It does not masticate it very well. When it comes time to clean your juicer the CHAMPION wins by far. The one thing you should be able to tell right away is look at the screen, Its a square screen with a little curve, Three inches by two inches, take a scrub brush and it cleans real easy, the other juicer has a round screen and are harder to clean. I hope this will help you, if you lived close to me I would ask you over and I would show you how easy the CHAMPION is to use and how good of a job it does. JUDITH if you would like to call me I think I could answer your questions a lot better. Go through the customer question process and leave your phone number or email, I live in Indiana. jim

This product is bleached and it comes well-packaged. I used it with confidence for tomatoes this summer. Also it is perfect for straining juice from fruit pulp for jelly. If you are worried, perhaps you could cut off as much as you need for a project and hand wash it before use. I do not believe you would get satisfactory results machine washing it as it would tend to unravel. Jan

Hi, If there is any tomato waste, assuming it can't be used in the tomato sauce, keep it to add to another meal such as Lasagne or stew. It is a great added taste to a variety of meals, good luck and enjoy your Kitchenaid, I love my one.

I have only used it for my tomato sauce. And if it makes apple sauce as good as my tomato sauce, then I would purchase this. I was amazed on how it knew to strain the skins and seeds. I love this appliance!

The steamer basket is like a collander, with holes to let the juice flow through but keep everything else in the basket. No need to even stem fruit, just wash and process. Have made hundreds of quarts of juice. Juice is double strength, so you can usually get 1/2 gallon of drinkable juice from 1 quart of processed juice. So easy! Just make certain your jars and lids are sterile, fill the jar, screw on the lid, and it will seal within minutes. That's it. Best concord grape juice ever. Pie cherry juice is awesome, especially with a little fizz. And Santa Rosa plum juice is divine, so rich you can make more than 1/2 gallon from a quart, and also makes wonderful jelly. You can make jam from the left-over pulp, but it isn't as tasty as from fresh fruit. Can use the pulp for fruit leather too. For that, you do have to remove the seeds yourself!

The Blendtec is not a orange or fruit juicer. The juice will have too many bubbles and too light. As a veggie juicer, it is excellent.
