Professional Moulin | Tinned Steel Manual Food Mill | Rotary Strainer | Tellier J165

Q: What’s the main difference between this and  a food processor?

A: A food mill pushes soft food through a sieve, separating out skin, seeds, and  fibre for a smooth texture. A processor or blender simply chops everything together, which can result in a gritty or bitter final product.

Q: Can I use it for hot foods like cooked potatoes or tomatoes?

A: Absolutely. It's designed to handle hot, cooked foods, making it perfect for making mashed potatoes or passata straight from the pot.

Q: Is this commercial food mill tinned steel dishwasher safe?

A: To ensure its longevity and  prevent rust, we strongly recommend hand washing and  thoroughly drying all parts immediately after use. Tinned steel is not suitable for dishwashers.

Q: What does 'tinned steel' mean?

A: It's a traditional material where a sheet of steel is coated with a thin layer of tin. This makes it food-safe, strong, and  corrosion-resistant when cared for properly.

Q: How do I change the sieves?

A: It's simple. You just lift out the handle and  blade, swap the sieve disc at the bottom for the one you need, and then replace the blade and  handle.

Q: Can it process hard, raw vegetables like carrots?

A: No, a food mill is designed for soft, cooked foods. You'll need to boil, steam, or roast hard vegetables until they are soft before milling.

Q: How does the rotary vegetable mill handle things like raspberry seeds?

A: The fine sieve (1.5mm) is specifically designed to be small enough to block tiny seeds from raspberries and  blackberries, leaving you with a perfectly smooth, seedless purée.

Q: Is it difficult to turn the handle when processing food?

A: The long, comfortable handle provides good leverage, making it surprisingly easy to process well-cooked ingredients. It requires some effort, but it's designed to be efficient.
