Tomato Master

I have read other reviews on this tool and thought that I must of had something different to them!I think that the name 'The Tomato Master' is quite misleading. It implies that it has other functions and that you can do other things with your tomatoes using it? It should be named 'The Tomato Masher'! It's Ok if you just want Tomato Juice, but if you want something a little thicker or with pieces of tomato in it, then this tool is not the one for you!Unfortunately, I think mine will be spending most of it's time in the box!

If you enjoy making ketchup, puree or tomato based sauces, this machine is a 'must have'. It will quickly remove the skin and seeds from several pounds of tomatoes eliminating the need for sieving or straining. I make up a batch with tomatoes from the greenhouse and freeze what I don't use, ready for use later, or simply liquidise it for a refreshing breakfast drink. It can also pulp and skin soft and cooked fruit for jam. Easy to clean and sticks rigidly to the worktop.

Brilliant machine. Our allotment has produced an abundance of tomatoes and the Tomato Master has been used to produce tomato puree, the tomatoes having been first oven baked with garlic. The machine has made it so easy and quick, previously having used sieve and a lot of elbow grease. After passing the baked tomatoes through the Tomato master 3 - 4 times a lovely puree results with just the skins and seeds left to be composted. Brilliant! Bill Wilson

Worked very well. Separated out pips and skin efficiently - much better than doing it manually. For best results I put the pulp through twice. The suction pad kept it steady on worksurface and it was very easy to wash up afterwards.

I have so far only used this once and it seems to push out the seeds and skins OK, but leaves more juice than puree. I was using Cherry Tomatoes so that may be the reason. I will persevere and try again when my tomatoes ripen, if I have that many. I do not know how many I can load into the machine. It is Italian so should work OK as they probably use a similar machine for their products.
