  • Pro: The consistency is outstanding. It produces exceptionally fine purees without any graininess.
  • Con: It’s an attachment, so you must own the main Tellier unit to use it.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Garden Bistro in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, was renowned for its seasonal menu but struggled to achieve a consistently smooth texture for its signature roasted root vegetable puree. Their existing methods were labour-intensive and  often left small fibres, impacting the dish's premium feel.

"We already had the Tellier base, but adding the 2mm sieve attachment has completely elevated our prep. Our purees are now flawless and  what used to take two commis chefs 30 minutes to do by hand now takes one person less than 10. The consistency is perfect every single time."

Robert Finch – Head Chef, The Garden Bistro

This simple upgrade resulted in a noticeable improvement in dish quality and  saved over 10 hours of labour per week during peak season.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure your Tellier food mill base (J415/J426) is clean and  stable before you begin.
  • Simply place the J188 sieve into the main body of the food mill. It's designed to drop in and  sit securely.
  • Place the rotating arm or paddle component on top, ensuring it engages correctly.
  • Give the handle a quick turn to confirm everything is seated properly before adding food.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, rinse the sieve under hot water immediately after use to prevent food from drying on.
  • Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub any remaining particles from the mesh.
  • The stainless steel construction is highly durable, but avoid using steel wool or harsh abrasives.
  • Periodically inspect the mesh for any signs of damage or warping to ensure continued performance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Mill Sieve

Not sure which mesh size is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the perfect tool for the job.

Analyse Your Menu

What will you be making most often? A 2mm sieve is fantastic for fine sauces and  purees, but if you need a chunkier texture for rustic mash, you might consider a sieve with larger holes.

Mesh Size is Key

The smaller the number, the finer the result. A 1mm sieve offers an ultra-fine strain for jellies, while a 3mm or 4mm is better for processing potatoes or apples for sauce.

Confirm Compatibility

This sieve is specifically for the Tellier system. Always double-check that any attachment you buy is designed to work with your existing food mill base to avoid disappointment.

Material and  Build Quality

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's hygienic, rust-resistant, and  tough. Investing in a well-built sieve means it will last for years of heavy service.

Consider Batch Size

The Tellier system is designed for professional output. Ensure your choice of sieve matches the volume of food you plan to process regularly to maintain efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What material is the Tellier J188 sieve made from?

A: It's made from durable, food-safe stainless steel, making it ideal for professional kitchen use due to its hygiene and  longevity.

Q: Is this sieve dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is generally dishwasher safe. However, for the longest life and  best results, we recommend rinsing immediately after use and  washing by hand with a soft brush.

Q: Can I use this for hot foods like just-cooked potatoes or hot soup?

A: Absolutely. The stainless steel construction is designed to handle hot liquids and  cooked foods directly from the pot.

Q: What is the difference between this and  a regular sieve or chinois?

A: This sieve works with the Tellier food mill's paddle, which actively pushes food through the mesh. This is much faster and  more efficient for larger quantities than manually pushing food through a static sieve.

Q: Will this sieve fit on other brands of food mill?

A: This sieve is specifically designed and  sized for the Tellier food mill system (compatible with models J415 and  J426) and  is unlikely to fit other brands correctly.

Q: What types of food is the 2mm mesh best for?

A: It's perfect for creating very fine textures, such as velvety soups, smooth vegetable purees, seedless berry coulis, and  lump-free sauces.

Q: How do I get stubborn bits of food out of the mesh?

A: Rinsing immediately is key. If food does dry, a short soak in warm, soapy water followed by a gentle scrub with a nylon brush should remove any residue.

Q: Does this product come with the food mill itself?

A: No, this is the 2mm sieve attachment only. The main Tellier triturator/food mill unit (J415) must be purchased separately.

Why a 2mm Mesh Creates a Flawless Finish

Ever wondered what the '2mm' in the triturator sieve 2mm mesh actually means for your food? It's all about precision. Each hole in the sieve is just two millimetres wide, creating an incredibly fine filter. Think of it like the difference between using a colander and  a fine-mesh tea strainer for your gravy – one just removes the big lumps, while the other creates a perfectly smooth liquid.

This sieve is engineered to do the latter on a grand scale. As you turn the handle of the food mill, the paddle forces your cooked ingredients against this fine mesh. It allows the soft, creamy pulp to pass through while holding back every tiny bit you don't want: tomato seeds, raspberry pips, tough vegetable fibres, or small bits of skin. The result isn't just 'less lumpy'; it's a fundamental change in texture, giving your dishes a luxurious, high-end feel that's impossible to achieve otherwise.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants

    Essential for creating velvety smooth vegetable purees, elegant sauces, and  seedless fruit coulis for desserts.

  • Large-Scale Catering Companies

    To rapidly process bulk quantities of potatoes, soups, or sauces with consistent, high-quality results for events.

  • Artisan Food Producers

    Perfect for making gourmet baby food, smooth preserves, chutneys, or apple sauce with a professional finish.

  • Patisseries and  Dessert Bars

    Ideal for straining fruit fillings, custards, and  curds to ensure a flawless, silky texture in every creation.
