Canning techniques

[amf1234]

Perhaps this person misunderstood,and really meant canning when she said steaming. Maybe she was referring to a pressure cooker instead, I really don't know. I think the little gadget you are thinking of is a food mill, a hand cranked device that is still readily available at hardware and cookware stores.....

.....Definitly not a food mill I have 1 of those this tomatoe machine (and probably for other foods to we just use it for tomatoes) is about 3 feet long & a foot high.

Maybe it could one of those machines that shred apples, i borrowed one last year when i was making apple sauce

I think I found the mystery machine. Not cheap but does the job. My attachment on my Kitchenaid appears to be a good substitute.

Very similar to the one I used, my neighbour picked it up at a yard sale for $5

I will compare this price with an attechment for my kitchenaid, a new toy may be in my future.

I was wondering that also.....is it the strainer attachment? I have a few attachments that came as a set, but that one I will have to purchase separately if I don't want duplicates.

I bought the attachment kit. It has the strainer attachment. juices and removes the skin and seeds. The puree collects on the strainer so you can just scrap it in if you want it.
