The Genuine Italian Tomato Press

Imported from Italy, this is the tomato press that peels, seeds, and strains fresh tomatoes to create a smooth puree for homemade sauces. Capturing the flavor of seasonal produce without the laborious process of manually blanching, skinning, and coring the fruit, this efficient Old World tool processes up to three quarts of raw tomatoes at a time by simply turning a crank. While an enclosed press and strainer separate out the waste for neat cleanup, the main chute extrudes the passata di pomodoro, the silky flesh and juice that can be caught in a bowl or a pot for transformation into a marinara or bolognese. A suction base holds the tomato press firmly in place without marring countertop surfaces. The durable press is made from food-grade, dishwasher-safe stainless steel. 12 1/4" L x 8 3/4" W x 7 1/2" D.
