A GADGET






I am hoping that my expenditure of 16 euros today on this tomato processor will make my tomato sauce making marathons less messy. I do have a hand mouli but I don't find it much faster to use than getting the skins off by hand. I was tempted by a smaller version of the electrical processor Giovanna and Marco have but couldn't have carried it and I have nowhere I could store it. This gadget promises to process 50 kg of tomatoes in an hour so I'll let you know how I get on!

Great a Ferrari red Passatta maker.
WLimoncello you could feed a hugh family with the amount of cooking you do. I am sire it will taste delicious.

I would love one of these, I adore tomaotoes and it would be great to be able to preserve my own.

You will be bottling it up and selling your own label soon.

I'm sure it will save a lot of work. And red! My favourite colour!

I'm afraid I'm all electric these days. Luckily I have a large kitchen although it is rather full of stuff.

I thought it was a lavatory before i read the post. IN red too, very fetching!

"In for a penny..." Crushed! I certainly will! I'll get onto it tomorrow or day after, Anne. WW, I hope so! Marymary, I could and I wish I had had a big family and been able to: but life is as it is. I freeze the sauce in varying quantities. I think I might have some competition here were I to try that, Ellee! Prefer freezing to bottling though I have done both even in the UK, with tomato sauce. I think it depends how big a family you have. Jmb, my kitchen here is large by Brit standards - well, it was till I moved my cookbooks in! Hi, C/U. I see what you mean - it does look like a loo!

I thought it was a Mouli when I saw it - and realised it wasn't a toilet! So it takes the skins off? Clever machine.

You have a new top thingy - whatever it's called - very pretty. It never fails to please me when I see oranges or lemons growing - simple pleasures!

I'm going to prepare some lovely vine tomatoes to have as a mozzorella salad with lots of basil and olive oil this evening, I'll throw some olives in too.

how do you do that?

It looks a scary device- you have been posting away whilst I was ignoring it and I have now read back..

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Glad you didn't think it was a loo as well, Liz! Too hot to do all that cooking today but I'll probably do it tomorrow. I took the photo for the top thingy - I think it's a banner - in the winter but didn't know how to put it on. That sounds lovely, Ellee. Hi, Pommy. I dunno . I can't do stuff like that. The computer shop man came over to fix something and I got him to put the photo on for me. Hi, Mutley. You got back, then. Did the skeleton, too? I was devastated to have missed you at the BP awards. I'll let you know how I get on with the scary machine!

50kgs in an hour!!!!! Let me know if and when you process 50kgs, Welsh! ;)

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Lee, I don't think I'll do 50 kg but a friend has done 600 kg - honest!

Maria said...

Wow...

You peel the skins off the tomatoes? I make my sauce from scratch.. but I never peeled the skins off... OK... something new to try!

Plus I love gadgets... but why peel the skin off?

Hi, M. Well, the skins are deemed to be indigestible. I've always taken them off but I never had a gadget that would do it before!
