How to Choose the Right Food Mill Disc for Every Recipe

How to Choose the Right Food Mill Disc for Every Recipe

Your Hungry Artisan Food Mill comes with interchangeable discs that unlock a world of texture control, but how do you know which one to use?

Whether you’re perfecting sauces, purees, or preserves, this quick guide helps you match your disc to your recipe.

🍅 Fine Disc (1–2 mm holes)

Best for soups, sauces, and baby food.
Produces ultra-smooth textures and removes every seed, peel, and fiber.
Try it for: tomato soup, applesauce, berry coulis, or smooth pumpkin purée.

🥕 Medium Disc (3–4 mm holes)

The perfect middle ground — great for chunky sauces, purees, or mashed potatoes.
Try it for: carrot purée, vegetable bases, and rustic fruit butter.

🍇 Coarse Disc (5–8 mm holes)

Ideal for textured preserves and root veggies — lets small bits pass through for a hearty, hand-milled feel.
Try it for: roasted squash mash, salsa bases, or thick chutneys.

🌿 Bonus: Mix & Match

Start coarse to break down ingredients, then switch to fine for that silky, restaurant-grade finish.

🌀 Hungry Artisan Tip:
Always chill soft fruits before milling — you’ll extract more pulp and less foam.
