The “Simmer & Mill” Method for Faster Homemade Meals

The “Simmer & Mill” Method for Faster Homemade Meals

Your new go-to winter technique using the Hungry Artisan Food Mill

In winter, we crave warm, comforting meals, but nobody wants to spend hours in the kitchen chopping, peeling, or blending. That’s why this season, more Hungry Artisan home cooks are embracing a time-saving technique we call the Simmer & Mill Method.

It’s simple:
Instead of peeling or prepping vegetables endlessly, you simmer them whole or roughly chopped, and let the Hungry Artisan Food Mill handle the texture work.

Why the Simmer & Mill Method Works So Well in Winter

✔ Perfect for root vegetables

Carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, turnips, all soften beautifully and mill into creamy bases for soups and sides.

✔ No peeling required

The food mill catches skins and fibers automatically, giving you silky results with less work.

✔ Safer than blending hot foods

No splatter, no steam burns, just smooth, effortless purée.

✔ Ideal for batch cooking and meal prep

Make big batches of soup bases, sauces, or purées and freeze them for easy winter meals.
