I just want it to process tomatoes - remove the seeds. Does it at least do that?

There are different size mill inserts. I love mine. Used it to make tomato sauce and jam.

Our experience indicates that with the smallest screen, it'll remove almost all of the seeds excepts the absolute tiniest.

The screen that comes with the Roma is for TOMATOES - that was its initial design - and THE USE OF THIS DEVICE FOR TOMATOES IS MENTIONED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE REVIEWS. The additional strainers are for smaller seeds and salsa.

Yes,,it separates the seeds and the skin.After the machine separates , I reload the skin and seeds again and get a thicker purée from it...best investment for jarring tomatoes!!!!

I used it for trying to separate tomato skins and seed from the pulp. I found that the disk with the larger holes let the seeds through and even some skin. My guess is that even the disk with the smaller holes would let berry seeds through. Another problem is that the pulp oozes up above the plunger and then when you open it, this pulp spills out.

I have cut not only tomatoes, but cucumbers also. It will cut anything as long as it isn't too soft.

I am sorry to say I do not know. At a glance, I don't think so. I also have a Squeezo wannabe strainer that I use for tomatoes and there is a berry screen available for it that has pretty tiny holes. If you have to remove the seeds from berries, you might look at the Victorio (or other brands) fruit strainer. My wannabe is a Norpro that has served me well for many years.

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.

I doubt it, it is designed to puree tomatoes and it does a great job, saving countless hours of hand cranking to make tomato sauce and soup , spaghetti sauce, etc.

We use it to remove seeds from raspberries. We run it through a couple times cleaning the screen to ensure it doesn't plug up and it does a nice job.

It will chop them in the chopper attachment, but definitely more on the wet side. I use if for chopping onions all the time though. Not so good for tomatoes, if I may say.

No. When I made salsa I just quartered my tomatoes. It's worth the money I use it all the time. Thinking about getting another one to keep in RV

Haven't used it for that but I would think it could. It is sharp and powerful. No problem for tomatoes .

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.

Yes it does process leafy greens, just don't overload the mixer or it will malfunction.

Yes, I have used this attachment for both tomatoes and making applesauce. You do not have to cook the tomatoes. Just cut them up and push them through. I have sometimes ran the "skins/seed" that come out the small hole in the front a second time to get a little more pulp out and this works great. You do have to cook your apples if you want to make a smooth applesauce using the appliance. Again - no peeling or coring - just cook the apples. If you have more questions, I'd be happy to answer them. It is a great attachment and I've already gotten my money's worth out of it - made over 30 jars of spaghetti sauce and plain tomato sauce and 50 jars of applesauce - it worked great on everything!

I have used mine for year to make apple sauce. I do take the seeds out and cut them into smaller pieces, put them into a pot with a bit of water and cook them until soft. The apples just zip through. The others are correct that there is little waste and the sauce is amazing. The waste is great for compost, too.

I have processed over 2 gallons of tomato's this summer. It works great, and makes the job a lot easier and much faster than using a food mill. I just cut the tomatoes in half and they go right through. Good luck.
