Food Mills best, difference, what do you use?

Brokenbar mentions using a roaster to reduce sauce. It sounds like a good method. I'm so broke right now though, and all I need is another piece of equipment. Why the Eurodib sounds good, sounds easy to store, takes little room. Anyway I was thinking of using a Crockpot, and cook it slow and easy with the lid off. Also let it settle first and siphon some of the water away before I even start.

the Eurodib would probably do just what you want it to do. I picked the one I did because of the size of the hopper. I can put a lot in mine. Also I liked the way the back to basics turned with my bad shoulders I did not think i could just spin that handle over and over. Up and around is easier for me.
The important thing is how gizmos like this help us process our veggies. I hope you have as good of luck as I did with mine!!

The company that makes it makes kitchen equipment. Commercial equipment. So i have confidence. Sounds like all of these are decent. My harvest is coming along. The tomatoes are starting to ripen. I better order something soon! I'm freezing a few for now, and will process later. I got one tomato off everything, all had one early, funny. Only Russo Sicilian Togetta has had ripe tomotoes. Five so far, a little small but pretty tomatoes.

Drew,
For low volume processing, the freezer works wonders. I wash, quarter, freeze them on trays and then bag for later. Freezing bursts all the cell walls, so when you toss them into a big colander to defrost, you are left with almost all pulp no matter the variety. I slip the skins as I toss them into the hopper as well and don't have to clean the screen much at all. The end product requires substantially less cooking down time.
