Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mirro Foley 3.5-Quart Stainless Steel Food Mill
Customer Review: not quite what was expected
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: my old one was better!
Summary: 3 Stars
I had a food mill that I used for years. I think it was the same brand. I finally replaced it because the plating was wearing off. The new one is nice and shiny but when I make applesauce (which is all I really use it for) it does about half of the apples just fine, then the rest just seems to sit on top or around the edges rather than going through. It seems to allow the apples too much space around the edge so that they don't get caught and pushed through the mill. By continually pushing the apples under with a spatula I can get the job done but it's not very efficient.Customer Review: Foley food mill

This old standby processing tool is durable and easy to use and clean. It's the manual device of choice for things like apple- and tomato-sauce, e.g., where a large amount of fiber, seeds, and skin need to be removed. Just boil or steam the raw produce long enough to soften, then pass through the mill. Some cooks may want to spend more to get a mill with interchangeable screens for more control of texture.Customer Review: not as good as the original
Summary: 3 Stars
After using the original Foley food mill for many years, mainly to make applesauce, I was very disappointed in this new version. Granted, it is stainless steel, whereas the older version isn't, it is not the same efficient scraping action as the older one. There is alot of food left in and on the bottom that is not processed. Because of the SS, the cleanup is easier though.Customer Review: Not as well made as the one my mom had
Summary: 3 Stars
Unfortunately this is lightly made so parts bend if you are not very careful. Also the blade is not close to the edge of the bowl so what you are trying to strain squishes out and must be scooped down to finish.
