In Search of a Food Mill

Hello all!

I'm looking to get a food mill but don't know which brand to get. The highly rated ones on Amazon are Cuisipro and MIU. But I'm not sure those will be sturdy for a long time. Otherwise I'm willing to fork over more dollars for something like All Clad or Matfer.

Is there a hardware store in LA I can goto for a good food mill or one that you would recommend?

Thanks!

I can't seem to use any other food mill than a Foley. My mom has one that is practically ancient, and I grew up using it. I adore mine - I got a vintage one in great shape, used on eBay for about $20. It makes the BEST fennel mashed potatoes and my famous potato-leek soup. :)

They're not very expensive, they're made well, and they're a powerhouse to use. The only thing that might be a downer is if you were hoping to have multiple discs to interchange.

We love Denver! :) And yes, that is the perfect time for a visit for the beerfest! We have plenty of room, so you guys have a place to stay (if your brother doesn't have room).

Happy New Year to you, too! Can't wait to read about your food adventures this year! :)
