The sauce comes out of the center piece and into a pan (white part), and the "trash" comes out the left side and I put a pot there to catch it. It's the seeds and peelings of the tomatoes. Basically, anything sauce made, I do not have to de-seed or remove peels, as this hand cranked machine does it for me.
However, I always assumed it was doing it's job well the first time.
(second time running it thru)
I have no idea why no one, who uses a sauce maker, ever told me this tidbit! I always "assumed" that my sauce maker worked well enough to give me the "goods" when saucing anything. Wrong! Run your "trash" thru the sauce maker a second time to get the most of those tomatoes. I am still using my old sauce maker, as the new one has not arrived yet, and boy did I get more doing it twice. I found out about this information, by reading comments on reviews of other sauce makers.
It was the first time canning this year, hence the first time trying this. Just wanted to share for anyone with a cheaper version of a sauce maker.

That does make sense, although I had never heard of a sauce maker.

Betsy, all these years of making tomato sauce, soup, ketchup, taco sauce, pizza sauce.....and I am just now learning this. I am however, very happy I learned about the sauce maker about 14-15 years ago.
DeleteVery interesting.

R'a Rue, I love learning new things.
DeleteYes we sort of wandered into that ourselves. I just think if you go overboard like we did once, the seeds split and you get little flecks of seed too.
ReplyDeleteKatie C, I noticed that when I made tomato sauce.
