Got one of those crank type sauce/salsa mills the other day and made up 30 lbs of maters into sauce. Not one seed or piece of skin in the sauce. Pretty much all of the juice and pulp comes out the strainer and seeds and skin get pushed out the front. Now I have to get the salsa screen.

Got it on amazon. Here's a link to it sauce maker
It's a neat deal and I did the thirty pounds in no time. There were no seeds or skin in the sauce, only juice and pulp. After the first pressing you run the tailings through again and get more out of them. The salsa screen is extra but you can go on the company's website and buy one separately for about sixteen bucks.

You won't believe how easy that thing is to operate. Here's a tip, to clean the screen get a soft bristle bottle brush. I didn't have one the first time and it took forever, Yesterday cleaned it up in no time with the brush.

What a difference $50.00 makes. Still it was worth it..........if I live another 8 years that is. Thanks for the tip rb.

It really does make a huge difference especially if you have as many as we do. I think I am going to get the salsa screen next.

Anybody use the salsa insert? I just finished 8 pints of salsa and peeling the maters sucks!! I would much prefer to crank and handle and get the goods!!

I don't have one but I think we are going to get one for next season. If it works as good as the sauce screen it will be worth it.

Water bath your maters for a minute and then have your kids get off their iPhone for 30 minutes and make them peel the maters for you. Problem solved. Then you can have chunky salsa that you also make them chop into pieces instead of having a puree type salsa. If the kids biatch about it, beat them with the $50 machine.
I'm thinking for the red sauce....this is gonna be the way to go. Looks like I need to be placing an order also.
rb........the skins have a ton of value in them for thick sauce and paste also. Its where all the natural pectin is at in the mater. We cooked down our skins this year, ran them through a mill and a screen and got a thick juice to add to soups or chili. Might wanna try it instead of just tossing out the skins. If you keep cooking it down you get a paste that you can freeze in cup portions in freezer bags.

I run the skin back through the mill until they are dry with nothing left in them. I agree not to waste them but from 20 lbs. of mater I had about two cups of dry skin and seeds left.
