I bought an old fashioned Mouli foodmill off eBay about 6 months ago and it is simply the biz for making home-made soups.

No more peeling tatties, J Artichoke, tomato, parsnip or carrot; no more stringing celery; the whole lot gets thrown into the soup after a really good wash.  Cook it up and then through the Mouli to take out all of the skin and stringy bits.

Result is like rubbing through a sieve but 50 times faster & hardly any waste.  We have a liquidiser and a Bamix thingy but the Mouli is much better at removing skins.

It also makes an excellent parsnip puree for freezing when you come to clear the row.

I want one of those Whiskey, for my passata!  A passata machine is about £24!!  But being a bit boracic at the moment, I'm waiting for one to go on Ebay for about 50p !!!!!!

Thanks GA.  Two quick visits to google and I now understand your reply.  Hope you get the eBay item but I guess this thread won't have helped your cause much.  I paid £7 for mine and I don't grudge a penny of it.

If I'm lucky one day, maybe I can stretch to a fiver Whiskey!!!  But now my Kenwood chef is on the blink again, and I STILL haven't got to use my sausage filler!!

Keeps blowing the motor, bought a recon one a couple of months ago and gearbox, but smoke poured out of it 2 days ago, and I was only using it on No.3!!

I'm jinxed!!!

sometimes the simplest things are the best....I will have to get one now of course   , and I will tell my husband that you bought it to my attention   :idea:
