I just picked this up at a garage sale for $5. It looks way cool and I think it is going to be great for tomatoes. Does anyone else have one and what do you use your for? I would love some recipes using this new fun Squeezo Strainer. It came in the orginal box too! I asked the lady at the sale about it and she said she used it for canning but doesn't use it anymore.

I get such a kick out of the first thing that goes through my mind when I read some of these thread titles. Kind of like those ink blot psychology, name the first thing that pops into your mind kind of think.
Well, I read Squeezo Strainer!?!?!?!? and my first thought was Mammogram!?!?!?!?
Maybe it was the exclamations that did it!! LOL

I'm trying to get a picture up, but it looks like a meat grinder, sort of! It is made to take out the seeds and skins of whatever you pass through it. It's says on the box great for tomatoe juice, babyfood. and jellies.

| Oh gosh I love mine for doing tomatoes. It is the best thing ever!!! It makes quick and easy work of it. Also a little hint I learned after using the squeezo on tomaotes, heat up the pulp and juice a bit, and then strain off some of the liquid though a jelly bag. Leave it in there as long as you like, till it is as thick as you like. Then dump out, do some more, and then add your seasonings and such for sauce. cook a bit and can up. No burning the sauce, cooking it for hours to get it thick. Michele |

I can't believe I got a picture up!!!! This is a big thing for me comsidering I am not good with the computer at all! I am so proud of myself!! Well any way any of you gals have one of these? It is like a food mill. I have used it to get the seeds out of blackberries and it worked great. You just turn the handle and it pushes the food through and the seeds and skins come out of the end dry as a bone. My cabinet in the back is were I keep all of my canning and cook books. Got it at a garage sale of ten dollars. Its my pride and joy!

I have the exact same one!! It's great for tomatoes, you're right about the skins being seperated, and it would be great for peaches, or other fruits for preserves. I bet if you looked you could find something like a Squeezo cookbook!! Does it have different attachments? I think you can make sausages and your own ground meat(venison/beef, etc)
have fun!

I have heard that it does have other attachments or screens that are different sizes.

Angie,
I have this! It's great for applesauce too. I have the instruction book. It has a few recipes. If you like I can copy the book at work this week and send it off to you. Let me know. Yhat is a great price. My Mom gave me mine. My Dad used to use it when he had his garden. After he passed away, she gave it to me. I think he paid close to 100.00 back in the early 70's.

I think I have one in the storage. When I come across it, I'll ask for takers here. Don't think the box is with it, but had an idea of what it was and knew it was made of heavy cast aluminum to stand up to lots of use.

| I would love to find one of those. It looks similar to one I borrowed a few years ago. I have looked in every hardware store, farm store, and of course, yard sales I come across and have not been able to find one. |

My friend just gave me one of these about a month ago... she had as a spare! I have yet to try it, but will love hearing more about uses for it.
Merle, I'd love a copy of the instruction book as well...happy to pay you back for postage and/or copying charges.
