Antique Colander

OK - I said I didn't buy many gadgets anymore. Yeah, but we were 'antiquing' and I saw this - and thought it would be great for making jelly and soymilk...

I got it and it's stand for $15. They had been holding it for someone who hadn't come to pick it up and had just put it back out on the floor - so it's not like I could wait...

    hey, that is cool - i assume it's like food mill of some sort. do you move the wooden pin around to "sqwish" stuff? and where do you store stuff that large? that's usually why i don't end up buying gadgets - i've go nowhere else to put them! nothing going on around here....no new pics...

    love, k

    Hey K,

    Yep you squish the juice, etc out of whatever and the liquid comes out the little holes - for soy milk - I line it with one layer of sheeting - and as it's hot when I press it - the wooden tool is nice. I also used it to make apple juice for jelly - I haven't gotten around to making the jelly yet - I'll post about it when I do.

    Love,

    T
