Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mirro Foley 3.5-Quart Stainless Steel Food Mill
Customer Review: Food Mill Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is living up to it's advertisement. I would recommend it to anyone for the use intended.Customer Review: good design, but handle could be more comfortable
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this food mill because it's the same design as the food mill my grandmother has had for decades. I've been using it the past few weeks to make tomato gazpacho. This food mill is more than up to the task.
The stainless steel surface is easy to keep clean, and it disassembles for even easier cleaning. As a nice touch, the diameter of the scraper wire on the bottom of the mill is just a fraction smaller than the grill holes, which means that if you have seeds lodged in any of the holes after cleaning, you can use the scraper wire to knock them out.
The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the double-loop handle can be uncomfortable to hold after a while. (I can understand why they used the double-loop design--because it stays cooler if you're milling over a heated pot--but I think I would've preferred having a more comfortable handle and using a potholder if necessary.)
Customer Review: Overall, a good product
Summary: 4 Stars
We ordered these food mills specifically for making apple butter. My mother has one that is very similar that she has had for many years but needed replacing. There are 2 things that I would consider possible "pit-falls". First the wire handle is a little uncomfortable; wish it were solid. But that's easily remedied with a cloth. Then other thing is the clips that help hold the mill on the pan. These clips are pretty flimsy. When making apple butter, you need to apply a bit of pressure to get all the pulp worked through. Although the clips didn't break off, they did bend a bit. I had to bend them back a couple of times. Overall, a pretty good product. We processed 2 bushels of apples without any real problems.Customer Review: If only a real handle were there
Summary: 4 Stars
Shortly after receiving the Foley Food Mill we put it to the test, making about 14 quarts of applesauce. It worked great and was very easy to clean. The milling function was efficient and easy, once you get the art of when to clear the bottom down. The only thing that keeps this from being a five star review is the handle, which is just two metal rods. It REALLY needs to have a true solid rounded handle in order to prevent hand cramps and pains. I finally used a hand towel wrapped several times around the handle to cushion the grip.
That aside, this is all as promised and then some.
Customer Review: Foleys food mill
Summary: 4 Stars
I had one about 30 years ago and just loved it for making applesauce. Unfortunately I lost it a few years ago and had to get another one. These are very hard to find but are one of the best of their kind on the market. You do have to remember, though to grind clockwise, then reverse every 5 or 6 times. Also about every 15 minutes or so, you need to empty it, turn it over and tighten the nut on the bottom as it works its way loose at times. Overall it's a very good product.
