Where can I buy a mouli?

Options
I desperately need to buy a mouli this weekend. My mother is ill and cannot swallow normal food. I know where to get one on the internet but could really do with one straight away. Can anyone help please?

    what about using a blender. I used that when the kids were small.
    something like this from argos. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...e%2Bmakers.htm

    or do you have a Lakeland store nearby. they have all the kitchen gadgets you will ever need.

    I blended LO food then pushed it through a sieve with the back of a fork!

    I'm pretty sure I got one from Debenhams when my first one was little. Tbh though I found it very difficult to use and got much better results with my stick blender which I got from Tesco for a fiver. The mouli actually broke completely after a few uses and as it was quite expensive for what it was I felt quite cheated by it.

    I bought a hand operated mouli from Mothercare years ago, maybe they still sell them? To be honest I thought it was flipping hard work processing by hand and I would rather use some kind of electric blender.

    John Lewis used to do them but it's a long time since I have seen one in a shop. Agree with stick blender http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4225025.htm cheap and cheerful at under £5.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    The difference between a mouli and a stick blender is that the mouli will separate things from their skins, eg tomatoes, fruit etc, whereas a blender will shred the skin into the belnded food. Don't know if that helps clarify? Personally if possible I'd go for a stick blender for general purpose, but would agree that lakeland will be best bet if you can afford a mouli and the postage.

    But does that version Lakeland are doing do the same as the old Mouli ones with the skins etc ?

    Skins I suppose can be removed pretty easily anyway.

    Moulinex make them and you can get them in 'old fashioned' hardware shops. Alternatively I've seen them in catering shops. For things like raspberries and tomatoes they are unbeatable
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    I got this one http://www.nisbets.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?productCode=J165 from ebay at £16 so I was very lucky. It is completely different to a stick blender. Say for instance i'm doing a glut of tomatoes to make ketchup, I cook the toms then put them through the large sieve and then the small one and it comes out almost a liquid with all the pips and skin removed.

    Brilliant bit of kit.
