I bought this to process tomatoes for sauce without the skins and seeds. It works with the food grinder (ksmfga). I hooked it up and processed over 5 gallons of cooked tomatoes in no time at all. It worked without plugging, and efficiently removed all of the sauce from the seeds and skins leaving a very dry pulp. It is very easy to assemble and very easy to clean. I am so pleased as my previous method was the hand crank food mill which constantly plugged up and was very tedious to operate. It is priced reasonably and seems well made. If you are looking for an upgrade from a manual food mill, this is for you!! Read more

I recieved this item with no instructions, parts list etc. I had no idea if all the parts were there or how to use it. I went online and found info on it and from what I can tell, its missing some parts , so I returned it for a replacement. When I recieved the replacement, it was obvious that some parts (a plastic shield, a black tube and a metal rod of some kind) were not in the original order. I have not tried it yet so I cannot comment on whether I will like it or not. I do not understand how something can be shipped and not be complete!! Its irritating to have to repackage and return orders! Read more

This KitchenAid Fruit and Vegetable Strainer - KSMFVSP is a new model number and can only be used with the new grinder. Other wise it works great if you have both new parts. Read more
So I was clear on the fact that it needs a KSMFGA grinder. Problem is I couldn’t tell which model mine is. It’s marked FGA-2 and the manual says it works with the KSMFVSP specifically. This FVSP does not fit the FGA-2. I can’t negative the device itself, it’s great. It beats the bejeebers out of any other method of juicing berries and tomatoes for canning and we can a lot. It sets up easy, cleans easy, and is very effective. Put a strainer over the bowl of your pulp catch and let the pulp drain a bit and you’ll get more useable juice. Wish I hadn’t needed to buy a new grinder since my old one works fine and I also have a #8 stand-alone grinder. If I had known this I’d have bought a third-party after market strainer attachment with a grinder for half the dollars. Just know that it won’t fit the FGA or FGA-2 or the new MGA (metal) grinder. If it fits what you have already or are willing to buy, it’s fantastic. Read more
This is amazing! I had no idea this existed, and it changed my life. I was doing all the tomato stuff by hand, and always wondered how stuff you bought at the store was able to be seedless. It did take me a few times to learn to get the hang of the best way to use it, and the less you do before hand the better this works. If you can any items yearly I'd highly recommend this! One note is that to use this you need another attachment also the meat grinder as the fruit and vegetable strainer has to connect to the mixer through that, which I did not know initially when I ordered this. So there are also a lot of parts, but they are pretty easy to clean. Read more
