Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered this product on recommendation from a favorite canning-how-to site. The site stated that you could make applesauce with this Foley Food Mill. I tried it and it does make applesauce easily, separating the liquid from the solid but does NOT separate the core, peel, etc. as the canning site stated...you will still need to peel and core the apples first. I couldn't find any instructions on the Foley Food Mill anywhere online or with the product when it arrived. It will only fit a specific sized pot or bowl. It's a little difficult to clean. I gave it three stars because it has no product info, no way to contact a company regarding the product should you need to replace it, nothing.
For the price I paid, I really am a bit disappointed. When you consider how difficult it is to clean, I'd say use a hand masher instead.
Customer Review: not as good as the original

My mom has a foley food mill that is 25 years old and works great. I wanted the same thing, but this is not. It looks the same, but they just don't make it like they used to. The blade doesn't line up will with the bottom, so the handle wobbles and you have to be very precise with your pressure when you turn the crank, or it gets stuck, and becomes difficult to turn. I used it to make applesauce, and it is very inefficient. It takes many more turns than the old one to push through the same amount of applesauce. Also, it says it's made of stainless steel, but something black was dripping into my applesauce from the center of the food mill. I think it was some kind of metal or interaction with the apples. I had nothing in the food mill but apples cooked with water. We had to throw out the applesauce!Customer Review: canning equipment

This is the first year of canning for me. My mother-in-law told me how much easier canning tomatoes would be with the foley mill. I bought it and used it. I loved it. It is the most excited I have been about preparing food in a long time. It was here in record time. I see many more years of using this product.Customer Review: They don't make them like.....

I inherited a 1 quart Foley from my Mom, but needed a larger one. I also thought that the old one wasn't performing like it should have because it took a lot of work to process the food. I make lots of V-8 and applesauce, so the larger one appeared to be the one for me. After using it for the V-8 season, I must say I'm disappointed. The construction is not near the quality of my older model. The metal that is used is of a lower quality than the older model. The paddle that mashes the food against the graters doesn't contact the bottom of container all the way around the rotation. The pivot point appears to be "out of wack". I'm using the new one because of the volume, but finish the job with my old model to complete the process. Knowing what a great product it could have been, it's a disappointment.
