If you do, you are probably of a "certain" age. I found this one at a yard sale this past Saturday for only $1. They were selling it cheaply because no one knew what it was or how to use it.This is a vintage tomato strainer. I tossed some tomatoes in a pot, boiled them down to a nice mush, and dumped them into the strainer. After just a few minutes of stirring with the wooden mallet, the tasty pulp was secreted into my cake pan, leaving the skins and seeds behind in the basket. I have 4 cups of awesome, fresh tomato sauce!
Sometimes, the old ways are the best ways!
You got a good deal! Your vintage ricer is being offered on eBay for approx. $25! You can also make really smooth mashed potatoes (among other things) with it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I love old kitchen gadgets--they work better than some of the "new" ones.
