Nice how-to pictorial Ted.
Talking about the kitchen aid, I have the bigger unit with all the attachments. Both my wife and I use it often. The first time I tried to use the tomato strainer, the auger wouldn't fit the unit housing (it would jam at the metal hub). I tried and tried, thinking I was assembling it wrong. Then I took out my calipers and measured, it turned out the shaft diameter was about 0.01" larger than the bore. Then I confirmed with a family member who had the same attachment. Hard for me to understand how such an error would escape the maker's QA checks. I mounted the auger on a lathe to turn the shaft down, then got sidetracked. Then went ahead and bought the dedicated strainer instead. |
