Do you know what this is? Recently, I discovered an intriguing object in a drawer at my in-laws’ house

This machine is a food mill, a classic kitchen utensil that was once ubiquitous in kitchens, particularly in France. Here’s some information about this tool:

The food mill is designed to mash cooked fruits or vegetables into purées or sauces.

Thanks to its perforated disk and crank, it presses food while removing skins, seeds, and fibers.

Main body: Usually made of stainless steel or aluminum, sometimes enameled for better durability.

Crank: It operates a rotating blade that pushes food through the disk.

Interchangeable disks: These come in different perforation sizes (fine, medium, coarse), allowing you to adjust the texture of the preparation.

Handles and feet: Some models are equipped with supports to stabilize the tool over a bowl or pot.

Soups: Ideal for making creamy soups by removing unwanted chunks.

Sauces: Like tomato purées, for a smooth texture without seeds or skins.

Compotes: For example, apple or pear compotes.

Allows for a smooth texture without the use of an electric blender.
Does not heat the food during the process, preserving the flavors better.
Easy to clean and durable.
Do you have a favorite recipe that you associate with this food mill? 😊
