    I am a ? generation Irish woman and I have been canning since I was 10 with my mom. However, I have always cooked my tomatoes first. And I have been using my kitchen aid for a couple of years and it has made it so much easier then my folly food mill.

    Thank you for doing this video. I use to do every thing by hand. 2 years ago I used a tic tac machine that I borrowed. This year I was looking for something to simplify the work. You just convinced me :)

    Awesome video. Have a garden and have been using a blender to "blend" all the tomatoes with seeds (skins removed by boiling first). Last years was REALLY bitter so this year decided to do on line research. Bought hand mill ($50.00) but rethought so took it back. Bought entire assembly for Kitchen Aid ($80.00) from Amazon. Awesome investment! With this video and the right tool both made short work of my tomatoes. I set it up right next to my kitchen sink. Used pitcher to collect sauce and waste went right in sink ready to be disposed down disposal. Thank you for making the video was VERY useful for this non Italian!

    Thank you so much for posting this video! I wanted to make applesauce and couldn't find anything to help me use the grinder/strainer. I also hand-cranked last year. It was a lot of work. I was looking forward to using the kitchenaid to make things easier and faster, but I didn't know what happened to the waste. Again, I thank you!

    Just placed an order for the KA attachment for my machine. With inflation the way it is...and only going to get worse... I will be doing a lot of home canning and preservation this summer to help get through these hard times ahead. I'm planning on doubling the size of my garden this year.

    Thanks. Good video. We've been using a Squeezo for a a long time. We just bought a KitchenAid mixer for the first time and I got the attachment which is very similar to the Squeezo mechanism (except plastic). We typically do 20-30 quarts of sauce per canning season.

    • @Jokent16dec63
      @Jokent16dec63 3 роки тому

      Do you peel them? I've had my mixer for 30 years and have not done anything but mix. I've got the attachments to do just this and more.

  • @StayPutProductions

    Nice. I am still using the old fashioned squeeze-o type crank machine. I checked out your video because I wanted to see the Kitchenaid attachment in action. I already have the Kitchenaid. I'm definitely going to upgrade to the Kitchenaid. Just a note, though, to you and to all the other people reading these comments, cook the tomatoes first AND let them get good and ripe (dark red, firm but not soft). The flavor will be better. Ciao!

    I know this is old but you are the ONLY one who has shown coring the tomatoes first which is consistent with what I have seen on many other videos of Italians preparing sauce using standalone motorized juicers (which this one clearly copied) --
    We were debating it and I still think we will be coring before feeding into the hopper.--

  • @virginiareid5336

    • @thebutterification
      @thebutterification 8 років тому +1

      The attachments for this are a little confusing since the food strainer uses part of another attachment (the meat grinder) The large tray at the top is another attachment, but you don't need it because the grinder has a smaller one.
      The meat grinder attachment is $35 right now on Amazon, and that's a real deal! The food grinder attachment for the meat grinder is $40. A lot, yes, but trying to do a big job like this is slow going doing it manually. Worth it if you puree a lot of food, not if you don't.
      BTW, the grinder also has a sausage attachment.

    Our nursery mixed up their seeds, so I just used whatever was ripe. There was a mix of cherry, yellow, beef steak, and jet stars. I did have to reduce the sauce for hours, but it came out great. Romas are best, but you can use what you have.

    Thanks for the demo. I'm not an Italian, or an Italian American, but I have a kitchen aid mixer. I'm done buying overpriced, crappy tomato sauce. I'm done blanching too! BTW, you can season the pulp with oregano, mix in some sesame seed. Put it in a food dehydrator. Make an awesome snack.

    • @theresabenson3550

      Skin and everything? (I'm assuming when you say pulp you mean the waste from the strainer)... what an interesting idea.

  • @mikejay68
    @mikejay68  11 років тому +2

    YesI usually cook out the water to thicken it up and have it ready for sauce but I've since learned to strain it out with cheesecloth. It's much faster so you do wind up with a thicker sauce, meatier.

    I wanted to make our own sauce this year because we planted TONS of Romas in our garden, and its our first time. I found your video very helpful. We have a kitchenaid mixer already, and previously bought the food grinder for making our own meats. I wanted to can our tomato sauce, but never canned before. Can you give any pointers on how to go about canning our sauce? Thank you so much for the video :) it was very informative.

  • @Dindasayswhynot
    @Dindasayswhynot 11 років тому

    I needed to double check amounts of yield (lbs to prepped to puree) so I did tomatoes all different ways today to confirm what I needed to adjust the recipes. After having used the KA strainer yesterday to do them raw as mikejay demo'd, it was sheer torture to do just the one 5 lb batch the old blanch, peel and sieve way. Thought I would NEVER get done with that batch. I still do cooked tomatoes with the colander and sieve but not Roma types/sauce. YAAAY KA and strainer.

  • @ColeW1134
    @ColeW1134 8 років тому

    I've made tomato sauce from handed down recipe. We cook tomatoes first then put them in sieve to get out the water then run them through the strainer. it gives you a less watery sauce.

    Great video. Good info. I have a question though.... So I priced the actual food mill for the kitchen aid mixer and it was like ridiculously expencive. Your set up uses their meat grinder attachment, feeding tray, and a strainer? Is that correct? Where did u purchase all of your attachemnts? Thanks sir!

    • @johnrf12
      @johnrf12 10 років тому

      The meat grinder is different. This is the vegetable strainer attachment. I used to have the Squeezo, for about 25 years. The last few years I hooked up my electric drill instead of the handle. Worked for a few years before I had ruined the machine. But I was so sick of turning the crank for hours and hours....

    • @misssniss

      Oh okay. I have been hand cranking...and cranking....and cranking. Just thought i could maybe try something a little easier.

      Canned tomatoes are very acidic and will cause the BPA lining to break down with time. So yea, pay 3 bucks for a huge can of tomatoes at Costco, but in the end you'll be consuming lots of BPA... yum yum.

  • @Ben-vk4us
    @Ben-vk4us 7 років тому

    I don't know where you get this idea that Italians only use Roma tomatoes. That is not true. I'm a 1st-generation Italian and I prefer San Marzano tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are certainly acceptable if you cannot get San Marzanos.
    Your method is wasteful. I just did a 50-pound bushel of San Marzano tomatoes and got 18 quarts and 3 pints.I did use the old-fashioned crank method. I'm close to 80. If I can do it....oh well.
    I usually grow my own but this year we decided to buy a bushel of San Marzano tomatoes at our local Italian produce store here in metro Detroit. Yes, your method is easier but again....wasteful.

    How is someone a third generation Italian? You're either Italian or you're not.

    • @gvgv3515
      @gvgv3515 10 років тому +2

      It is a cultural term. First generation means the children are the first of WHATEVER nationality their parents are to be born in the United States. If these children become parents someday, their children with be second generation, and so on. I cant believe it was that difficult to understand. I assume you are attempting at humor or breaking the man's chops, but in all seriousness, his grammatical error did not lessen the meaning and pride of his statement.
      I am in a "mid" category myself, can't truly be called second generation for the following reason. Mom was first generation Italian American, ( the left out word which caused you to write your statement I assume).
      My dad however, was born in Italy and did not come to this country until age 5 (with his mother),,, his father ( my grandfather) had to come to America first, learn English, get a job and home before bringing his family here.. TRY telling an immigrant that today!!!
      Hence, my dad and his mom had to become citizens of this great country. MY mother being born here is considered a natural citizen. So I guess I am a 1.5 generation, as I cant get full credit on dad's side.
      Oh and to further reply to your original question, either you're Italian or you're not,
      what if the person was not full blooded...ie: Irish Italian, Polish Italian, German Italian. One parent from each ethnicity doesn't remove you from the claim to be either ethnicity, you are both. Ultimately, you are now an AMERICAN and should be proud to say so. That doesn't mean you should neglect, ignore,belittle, disavow, your
      ethnic heritage.
      Hope this cleared things up for you,

    • @likethepear
      @likethepear 10 років тому

      yah yah, all of that would make sense if he had said Italian-American. But he didn't. So my question still stands. Thanks for playing!

    • @gvgv3515
      @gvgv3515 10 років тому

      likethepear As I mentioned in the first reply, Italian American being the cause of you writing this response; I agree it is an error in his phrasing. 3rd generation of an Italian family unit would have been more logical as well. his grandparents, parents, and now him being of full blooded heritage would indeed make the third generation of an Italian heritage. Now if he married ANY other ethnicity, his children can no longer make the same claim. They are now the first generation of an Italian and "XXXXXX" nationality.
      So at face value he is indeed misspoken if intending to be of Italian American generation, but if he is speaking of being full blooded then he is correct. Maybe you should write him and make him correct his video.
