A
food mill is a kitchen tool used to process, puree, or strain foods. It is a hand-operated device that consists of a bowl with small holes on the bottom and a crank on the side. When you turn the crank, the food is pushed through the holes, separating the puree or juice from any unwanted bits like seeds or skins.
