Tomato press, tomato strainer or tomato mill: whatever name you give it, it is the essential tool when it comes to making tomato sauces. It separates the skin and the pips and presses down up the fibres using a grid to extract all the flavour. It works cold, requires no cleaning during use and above all, it allows you to obtain a regular, fine texture that expresses all the aromas of the tomato.

The working principle.
Whether manual or electric, the way the tomato press works is the same. The tomatoes are cut roughly into pieces and caught by a special screw that presses down upon a conical strainer in an increasingly strong way. The crushed pulp comes out through the holes in the cone and the waste is evacuated at the bottom. The spires of the screw are increasingly close and less and less deep. As the tomato moves along the screw, it has less and less room.

Other uses for the tomato strainer.
Every time you need to separate the pulp from the pips, the skin from the flesh and more generally, the hard from the soft, the strainer will turn out to be very useful.
When making fish soup, it removes bones and pieces of shell and presses the flesh. It can also be used for making chestnut puree.
For jellies and jams made with small fruit, a strainer that is equipped with a cone that has smaller holes will rapidly offer you a coulis that contains no skin or pips…
