Hi everyone I wonder if you can help.I ma looking for a food mill all I can find in Lakeland,Argos and similar shops is a potato mill.I need one of these food mills that has a handle on the top and for ex. you can put lots of potatoes in and then when you turn the handle you are squashing them and they come through the other side as spaghetti or little worms............

You mean a potato ricer.

You can buy them in Tescos and wilkinsons

or do you mean a Mouli? this is a big bowl sized seive witha rotary blade and big handle that the French use a lot to puree all sorts of stuff for soups and mousses etc. I'd search ebay for one

I've got a Mouli, boxed and complete with all attachments from a bootsale for 50p

moggins -that's a very good price, see the one in my post - it sold for over £10!

moggins · 19 February 2006 at 12:08PM

Wow!! Perhaps I should stick mine on e-bay then as I've never used it!!

thanks everyone for your quick replies.No it's not a potato ricer I am after but the one shown in the picture in ebay from apprentice tycoon's post. does anyone know where I can get a cheap one please?

I got one from here a couple of years ago http://www.richmondcookshop.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=792 they do a larger on too.

Certainly wasn't cheap but when I found it was so much easier to use a blender for baby food I sold it for more than I paid for it on Ebay shortly afterwards.

Can I just remind everyone of the site rules regarding buying selling and swopping on the forum:

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: For legal reasons I have to discourage swapping, buying and selling on the forum (please see this rule). While it can be a very useful way of saving money it relies on a certain amount of trust between members and as such can cause problems (and has in the past). If you have any questions about this policy please email [email="%20abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/email].

Thanks

thanks everyone for your response :beer: .I think the correct name for this item is Mouli but it doesn't seem to be very popular in the shops.

Sorry arkonite-baby for breaking the rules I have now edited my previous post:o
