I have never used one before so I do not know if our replacement pestle fits properly. It may be too short. The upper knob rests against the lip of the cone so that there is a 1/3" gap between the upper portion of the pestle and the side of the l seive. This seems to make the process of squishing cooked down tomato solids through the little holes fairly inefficient. Is this the way the cone and pestle is supposed to fit (with a gap)?
