I bought one for my father-in-law to make applesauce and tomato sauce with! It is very easy to use and clean! Just make sure you scrub the silver screen very well as soon as you are finished using it!! Review: Amazing tool for processing tomatoes - I planted six tomato plants this year and we have tomatoes coming out of our ears. I have a couple of different ways I can tomatoes - either quartered in juice (hot pack) or crushed in juice (hot pack). But skinning, coring, and prepping the tomatoes for packing takes awhile, and sometimes, I would look at my bowls full of tomatoes and think, ugh. Then I saw an Internet tutorial from someone who used this food strainer to make tomato sauce and I thought, aha. Maybe this would make processing bushels of tomatoes a little faster. Setting up the strainer takes very little time and learning how to use it takes even less. Once the machine is assembled, you take washed, quartered, unpeeled tomatoes and put them into the hopper and then crank them through the strainer. The strainer separates out all the skins, seeds, cores, etc. What comes out of the strainer is an extremely smooth, seed-free, thin tomato puree, and out the other side comes a nearly dry mash of the "leavings." I take the puree and simmer it down into a thicker sauce, which I can in quarts. I take the "leavings" and put them in the compost pile. The worst part of using the strainer is cleaning it, which takes some work. The instructions say not to put parts in the dishwasher, but I don't see much harm in putting the plastic parts through, on the top rack. Cleaning the metal cone filter takes some effort and I wish they included a stiff conical brush to assist with this. Also, the small steel spring that you need to make the strainer work is easy to lose - we've already lost one, and had to order a replacement. All in all, though, this is a GREAT tool and makes processing tomatoes into cannable product fast and easy. I LOVE not having to skin tomatoes, my least favorite task of canning them. I got the salsa screen as well, and while the screen allows for a few more seeds to get through than I would like, it produces a nice, chunky puree that is great for both fresh tomato sauce and for salsa. If you have a lot of tomatoes to can, I highly recommend this item. I plan to put it to use making applesauce from baked apples later this year - apparently you can core and bake the apples and then toss them into the strainer almost whole, which will be a big improvement over the multiple hours of cooking down my current recipe requires. ## Features - NOT JUST FOR APPLE SAUCE AND TOMATO SAUCE: Great for purees, pie fillings, juices, jams, cream soups, baby foods, sauces, and more. Use it for a variety of fruits and vegetables. Easily separate skins and seeds from your produce as you create your own specialty sauces and purees. - HAND CRANK WITH OPTIONAL ELECTRIC MOTOR: Designed for hand crank use with its long easy to use handle, or replace the handle with the optional electric motor to make your creations even easier (VKPMOTOR sold separately). - EVERYTHING YOU NEED: Comes with Apple/Tomato Screen (1.3mm holes), Standard Spiral (6-3/4” long), and Instruction Manual, allowing you to make fine delicious sauces right out of the box. Optional additional screens for salsa, pumpkin, and berries with a grape spiral are also available (VKP250-5 accessories sold separately). - 5 YEAR WARRANTY: Sturdy cast aluminum body and easy-to-install stainless steel screens. Plastic components are BPA free. Your strainer also comes with an incredible 5 Year Warranty. - SECURE CLAMP MOUNT: Sturdy clamp design has 10 square inches of clamping surface. Can mount to countertops from 3/4" to 2-1/8" thick providing a proper foundation while you create your own specialty sauces. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001I7FP54 | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,653 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #150 in Food Strainers | | Brand | KITCHEN CROP | | Brand Name | KITCHEN CROP | | Color | White, Red, Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,022 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00811957010154 | | Included Components | EMW6698880 | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 14.25"L x 7.6"W x 9"H | | Item Type Name | Food Strainer | | Item Weight | 4.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | VKP Brands | | Manufacturer Part Number | VKP250 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1-Year warranty from date of purchase | | Material | Aluminum, Plastic, Stainelss Steel | | Material Type | Aluminum, Plastic, Stainelss Steel | | Model Number | VKP250 | | Product Dimensions | 14.25"L x 7.6"W x 9"H | | Style | Modern | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 811957010154 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KITCHEN CROP - **Color:** White, Red, Silver - **Item Weight:** 4.3 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum, Plastic, Stainelss Steel - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Seed Removal, Skin Removal ## Images ![VKP250 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QK1y6szgL.jpg) ![VKP250 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BKWyPxOvL.jpg) ![VKP250 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518Ixh1UwsL.jpg) ![VKP250 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51a7I9t-0RL.jpg) ![VKP250 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QehH4iMLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How is this different from a juicer??** A: It keeps the pulp just gets rid of the skins and seeds, as in partially cooked apples for applesauce and tomatoes for pasta sauce. A juicer literally keeps the juice and gets rid of all the fibres skin and seeds! **Q: I want to use it for apple sauce. Will the pulp be too fiberous for this strainer? How much of it do you lose with the skins and seeds?** A: I have only used it for my tomato sauce. And if it makes apple sauce as good as my tomato sauce, then I would purchase this. I was amazed on how it knew to strain the skins and seeds. I love this appliance! **Q: Does this applesauce maker leak around the gaskets/strainer part? I have an old one that leaks a LOT and makes a big mess underneath. Thanks!** A: Mine is new and does not leak where the strainer is attached to the main unit. It has a 'rubber' (could be soft plastic...I don't know) ring which serves as a gasket where the strainer is attached to the main unit. I believe the 'rubber' ring is absolutely important, as if it was not there, applesauce would likely squish out there. **Q: how many quarts does it hold?** A: The feed hopper will hold a decent amount. But your holding solids. Not sure how many quarts you would get from a hopper full. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great!! *by T***S on June 15, 2026* We have had one of these for years and it works great!

The unit attaches securely to my counter and the handle is easy to turn. If you're processing a LOT of tomatoes, it's helpful to have a "canning buddy" to do the turning or you might wish to purchase the optional motor. After processing the tomatoes, I ran the discarded skin through the machine one more time and got a good bit of additional juice and pulp. What remained was dry-as-a-bone peel and seeds. HINT: Strain the sauce using a wire strainer to keep from having to cook it down. Can the thick pulp as sauce and can the thinner tomato juice as juice or soup base. Saves a lot of time and you still use the entire tomato. I also purchased the salsa strainer and found it too chunky for sauce and too mushy for salsa. That, however, is a personal preference. Other's might find it "just right". My only complaint is that the clear plastic chute that attaches to the metal strainer is very flimsy. This is where the discarded peel is routed. I'm fearful that I'll accidentally break the chute when trying to attach or remove it from the strainer. I do wish that piece was sturdier. The rest of the machine is heavy and well made. The strainer is difficult to clean after use due to tiny bits of tomato being stuck in it, as would be expected. A toothbrush really makes cleaning of the strainer very easy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Johnny Apple Sauce Maker, Tomato Sauce Maker, Remove Skins & Seeds From Produce, Model 250 Clamp Based Food Strainer (Basic Strainer) - VKP250 Strainer Accessory - 1 X Finest By Victorio Kitchen Products Victorio Food Strainer Screen Gasket --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2568171-vkp250](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2568171-vkp250) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
