WestonSupply 07-0801 Roma Sauce Maker & Food Strainer

Hand-Cranked Roma Sauce Maker

The WestonSupply 07-0801 is a manual food strainer that separates seeds and skins from puree by turning a handle. It processes tomatoes, apples and similar produce into sauces, soups, jams or baby food without preservatives. The approximately one-gallon hopper holds large batches for canning sessions. Suction-cup feet and a C-clamp keep the unit steady on a countertop.

Simple Assembly With Two Mounting Choices

The strainer disassembles for cleaning and reassembles without tools. You secure it by pressing the suction cups onto a smooth surface or by tightening the supplied C-clamp to a table edge. The main error is mounting on a textured or wet countertop where the suction cups cannot grip, causing the unit to shift under load. The included stomper lets you press food safely without fingers near the moving screen.

Limits of a Hand-Powered Strainer

Output speed depends entirely on how fast you turn the handle, so large preserving jobs take considerable time and effort. The single multi-purpose screen sets the texture; you cannot swap to a finer or coarser mesh without a separate accessory. Very fibrous or hard produce may clog the screen or require extra force, and the hopper must be refilled repeatedly for big batches.
