FAQs
Can this food mill handle raw vegetables?
No, this tool is designed for soft or cooked foods only. Hard or raw vegetables will likely damage the mechanism or be impossible to process.
Is the Eddingtons Food Mill dishwasher safe?
While the materials are durable, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the finish and ensure the small holes in the disc remain free of buildup.
What is the maximum pot size I can use this with?
The pan rests are designed for pots around 20.5cm. It can be used on larger pots as long as the rests can be positioned securely on the rim.
Does it remove skins from tomatoes?
Yes, it is excellent for separating skins and seeds from tomato pulp when processing cooked tomatoes.
Is it suitable for making baby food?
Yes, it is a perfect tool for pureeing cooked fruits and vegetables into the smooth, fine textures required for baby food.
Troubleshooting
The crank is difficult to turn
Ensure the food items are fully cooked and soft. Avoid overfilling the mill bowl, as this increases resistance.
Food is passing through without being pureed
Check that the ingredient pieces are not too small and that you are maintaining a consistent downward pressure while cranking.
Difficult to clean the bottom plate
Use a nylon dish brush to gently dislodge food particles from the perforations while running under warm water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the mill over a pot or bowl of at least 20cm in diameter to ensure the pan rests engage securely. To operate, place your pre-cooked, soft ingredients into the basin and turn the crank handle in a clockwise motion. For care, it is recommended to wash the mill immediately after use to prevent food from drying in the perforations. While the metal construction is durable, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft brush is the best way to maintain the finish and ensure the blades remain clear of debris. Always ensure the device is completely dry before storing it in a drawer or cupboard.
