Side by Side Comparison of: RSVP vs Progressive vs Norpro vs Mirro

Quality heavy duty stainless steel. A fine piece of cooking equipment. Very satisfied.

High quality stainless steel make this food mill hard to beat! Comes with everything in the picture, and even a recipe book to get the full use of the product. We have had food mills in the past but this one is made to last and I would imagine it will be the last one we ever need to purchase!

I bought this Food Mill for use in making jam because my hubby doesn't like the seeds in fruit jams. I've used it on blackberry jam and strawberry jam and it does an amazing job straining the fruit. Highly recommend for anyone making fruit jams. I know this Food Mill has a myriad of other uses, but I haven't tried it for anything other than making jam so far.

I have used this more than I expected to. It is sturdy and easy to clean. Other reviews have mentioned the size as too small, but unless you are making gallons of something the is size is perfectly adequate. I use mine mostly for processing garden produce for canning/freezing but I believe this would be an exceptional tool for making your own baby food.

Love the smooth rotation of this food mill and the stainless steel finish. Having three disks makes baby food to toddler foods and apple butter to applesauce. The best food mill I have ever had and the rotatory handle does not wear a hole in your palm like most models.

This is a great product. We have actually used the product prior to writing this review, so hopefully the review will be helpful. The product has been used for the most perfect mashed potatoes for both Thanksgiving and Christmas (use the largest blade). It has also been used to make home canned hot sauce. Using the smallest blade the mill perfectly removed all pepper and tomato seeds and all of the tomato skins, as well. No need to boil and skin tomatoes again. The stainless finish is a breeze to clean and the mill looks great on the "gadget shelf". It is a bit easier to mill the foods with a partner to help hold the mill steady while turning the handle if milling into a large pot or bowl, but using a small pot seemed to alleviate the problem.

Works great, just a little clumsy to use as it scoots around when you turn the blade. However it does a great job and made my canning go a lot quicker this year.

Seems well made.... I like that it has 3 different grater size attachments and I like that it is made of stainless steel and easy to clean. Just waiting for apple season to use it. I was going to use it to skin tomatoes but decided it was just as easy to stick them in boiling water for a few seconds and peel them. I think I just need a few more ideas as to what to use my product on...

Worked fine for making jam, but not as well when used on tomatoes.

Admittedly I am not an expert. This was my first time at using a food mill and it didn't do what I wanted it to do .... thin out chunky salsa ... it just left the chunks in the holder and all I got was juice

Light weight. No as durable as grandma's original

Excellent for making apple butter.

This is a womderful stainless steel kitchen product. Unfortunately it did not work for me as I hoped it would. I want to separate fruit from seeds and have used it for lilikoi, suriname cherries and mysore raspberries. It just does not work for that purpose. I would have been better off with a traditional cone shaped ricer. The spinning part does not come in close enough contact with the screens.

Not as good as my old one

THis works well but the circumfrance is too small for most bowls. Also the depth of the unit severly limits the amount that can be put inot the bowl. I used it to make applesauce (I make about 8 quarts at a time) and I had to use a small plastic (1 quart) bowl that I could only fill 3/4 of the way. This slowed down my production too much so I went and got an OXO brand from BBAB. Cost a little more but worked out in my application much better (it spans an 8 quart Pyrex glass bowl)

I purchased this as a gift for my wife. She likes it but I have noticed that it has rusted slightly at the edges. She says that it works great and uses it often.

I purchased this hoping it would save me time preparing Thanksgiving dinner. I had hoped it would be able to rice potatoes and remove the peels...not so. While the mill is strong and sturdy, the blade did not fit closely enough to really remove peels. It did however work nicely sifting flour. I hope it does a better job making applesauce.Additionally, it was pretty heavy and it was difficult to find a bowl to fit it.I should have believed the reviews I read, but it just looks so great...next time I shall just buy a potato ricer.

I used this food mill to process an over abundance of tomatoes from my garden. It worked pretty well but be prepared for a messy job. For the price, it worked as advertised. Made well with strong gauge stainless steel. Wear an apron!

Be careful with this one. As soon as it arrived, the handle came off in my hand. I never even got to try it. Made in China.

My daughter has an issue with too much texture in her food, but hates the sound of the blender so I thought I would try this food mill since it doesn't have all of the plastic on other mills. Upon opening the package, I could tell this mill was cheaply slapped together in China. There's a jagged shard of metal sticking out from the bottom edge and splintering wood on the handle which was sloppily glued. Hoping it would at least function well, I gave it a try. It did a mediocre job on the food, seemed barely better than if I had mashed it with a fork. Tested on my daughter, she agreed... rejected. Plus, about a quarter of the food wouldn't even go through, so it was wasted. I will be returning this item.

First off, I really wanted to like this food mill. The price is right, the qualityis heavy, nice looking and there are no sharp edges.However, the food mill hangs off the top, which means there is 4.25 inches below the rimof your bowl or pot. That's not practical as I'm not going to process a lot of stuff to warrant mystock pot and using a step ladder (I'm short). I should be able to cook say 6 apples and dump them in the millplaced on top of a bowl. Or, puree a few carrots.Just see the pictures.I ruled out OXO because of the price and plastic parts. If I get another food mill it will be one that has legs to sit on top of a bowl.For canning tomatoes and berries, I will probably purchase the Victorio.Victorio VKP250 Model 250 Food Strainer and Sauce MakerI am returning the RSVP Endurance food mill without testdriving it as I saw it wouldn't work for me right off the bat.

this food mill has a blade that is too far from the grate. You waste alot of food with this mill. I have returned this product.

Below is the text of my OXO Good Grips Food Mill review. I am also posting it here since it is relevant to people considering the RSVP product since this was the product I compared it to.---I compared the OXO Food mill with the RSVP mill online before purchasing. I first went with the RSVP product based strictly on price (since the ratings were essentially the same). The first thing I made was Tomato Sauce/marinara wherein I cooked tomatoes with garlic, herbs, and Olive oil and passed them through the mill. Immediately, I saw there was a LOT of waste with the RSVP mill. The food would just spin around in the top of the mill and not be passed through the holes in the metal disc (coarsest disc used). I shook the thing, ran the crank in the opposite direction to move the food around and reposition it. took out my wooden spoon to 'help' the mill by breaking down the tomatoes more. bit by bit, more and more food got processed but despite all my efforts, I would estimate 10-15 percent of the tomatoes just wouldn't go through, even after 5-10 minutes of cajoling. Let me make something clear here. These tomatoes were canned Marzano tomatoes which had ALREADY BEEN PEELED AND SEEDED - they practically crush themselves. It seemed to me that since the 'bad' stuff the mill was designed to remove was already gone , every bit of these tomatoes should gone through. I had a similar experience with my applesauce attempt using the medium disc. A lot of wasted apples and a rather meager (though delicious!) yield of applesauce.I'd never owned a Food Mill before and just thought this was how they worked...I was browsing Sur La Table one afternoon and they had the OXO mill out on display. The disks caught my eye. They were not just discs with holes cut in them, but were actually shaped to allow the food to pass through them. The holes were raised slightly, almost like the blades of a cheese grater. You could tell by looking at them that much more food would be crushed and pushed through. So I came home and ordered the OXO mill from Amazon as well.Night and day.On my marinara test as well as the applesauce test, the OXO mill ran circles around RSVP. All of the tomatoes went through and the resulting marinara had an excellent texture - not soupy in the least. I cranked less than 2 minutes. The applesauce was perfect as well and the Mill worked as promised - removing the peels and the seeds. In both cases, the yield was much higher.To me, the only thing I think the RSVP mill has going for it is the looks and general quality of construction. It is heavy stainless steel and all of the parts will clearly last a lifetime. It has a distinctly professional/industrial look and feel to it. The OXO has a good weight to it, and it definitely feels like it is well made, but there are some plastic parts (most notably the 'quick release' mechanism for attaching the crank) which leaves me with the lingering feeling that someday, years in the future, this will have to be replaced.Still, I would highly recommend the OXO Good Grips Food Mill to anyone in the market for a food mill for home use. If/When it does fail, I will not hesitate to buy another one (unless of course, it breaks down in like a week (doubtful))

Big and clumsy to use.

looks good. very poor performance. Not tension adjustment. Should have bought OXO.

I'm genuinely baffled by the good reviews for this, as it is absolutely USELESS. After the food mill used by my grandmother and mother broke, a replacement was needed in order to make sauce the proper way. I liked the positive reviews and the versatility this product offered.Unfortunately, as it does not work for the primary reason it was purchased, this is a complete waste of money. For starters, the blade does not have enough of an opening to grab tomatoes (or anything else large) to press them into the disc. Once you get aggravated enough to hand crush the tomatoes to give them a chance, the seeds begin seeping out through the sides of the disc. A dollar store strainer would be more effective, as you have to do 10x the work, and get a quarter of the result with this food mill. Spend your money on a solid construction version.

Was extremely disappointed after using this product for making applesauce. There is a space at the bottom of the mill where the disk sits and it allow the apple peels to just work there way through during the milling.

If I could give this a negative star I would.A complete waste of time and product--utterly useless as tomatoes were simply pushed round and round without being milled.I will ask for a full refund!

A waste of money when it comes to canning tomatoes. You work yourself to death and waste too much for such little reward.
