The answer is simple…these machines do the work for you.

A tomato sauce maker will also save your hands from staining since you won’t handle tomatoes as much. But this list of canning hand remedies will help if you stain your hands.

The Top 3 Tomato Sauce Maker Machines
Weston stainless steel tomato strainer with 1-gallon hopper
Efficient transition from old-school to modern technology
As someone who has been canning for nearly 40 years and adheres to traditional methods, I initially hesitated about embracing modern kitchen appliances. For years, I blanched, peeled, cored, and sieved tomatoes, resulting in hours of labor and a messy kitchen. However, this tomato strainer has revolutionized my approach to tomato processing, simplifying these tasks into a single, effortless step.
Assembly is effortless if you read the instructions
Before diving into usage, I recommend reading the instructions thoroughly. Ensure proper screen attachment and tighten the screen thumbscrew to make sure you have no leaks.
I love the suction cups and c-clamps that help stabilize the appliance and make concentrating on the tomatoes rather than keeping it stable. Choose between the Suction or C-clamp options. Dampening the suction slightly with water improves adherence to your surface.
Practical tips
Filling the hopper with quartered tomatoes allows for efficient processing, aided by the stomper that guides tomatoes toward the spiral auger. Despite concerns about the stomper’s plastic construction, it offers tactile feedback that enhances precision.
The spiral auger’s interaction with the screen may lead to slight clogs, signifying effective seed separation. Should the appliance slow down, scrape off clogs from the screen’s outer side.
Easy to clean
Cleanup is uncomplicated and straightforward. Turning the crank a few more times after usage helps clear residual waste from the spiral auger. Then just quickly rinse and air dry.
