What Is a Food Mill? Why Every Home Cook Needs One
A food mill is a versatile kitchen tool designed to mash, purée, and strain soft foods, producing smooth textures ideal for a wide variety of recipes. It typically features a bowl, a perforated plate, and a hand-cranked mechanism that presses food through the plate efficiently separating seeds, skins, and fibrous matter in the process.
At Hungry Artisan, we believe this timeless tool should be a staple in every kitchen and we’ve crafted one that’s both elegant and exceptionally functional.
