Has anyone made scuppernong pies or cobblers with this food mill? My present food mill reacted with the fruit and discolored it..

I have not made cobblers, but I used it to make Blackberry Jam and had no problems. I have also used it for Tomato Soup.

I used the OXO Good Grips Food Mill to make, and can apple sauce. I had no adverse reaction to it discoloring the Golden Delicious apples that I used. Some types of apples may turn brown faster than others.

I've used mine for tomato and blackberries only. No discoloration has occurred. Hope this helps a little!

I have not made fruit pies or cobblers, but it did not react with tomatoes which are also high acid. I have fermented Muscadine grapes, a variety of Scuppernong in a stainless stock pot with no problems. My guess is your old one was not pure stainless. A good stainless steel will not react.

Have you found any alternative? I just started looking into purchasing a bread maker and I'm stuck in the same quandry. I avoid non-stick at all costs, but I can't seem to find a machine without it. Please let me know if you found anything. Thanks! Lyndi

I'm so sorry you've had such bad luck. Mine works perfectly and I produce wonderful loaves of fresh bread. Try another brand and report the results. Now I'm worried!!

I'm having the same problem with my Breadman TR875. I'm about ready to try my luck with the Dough cycle and completing the loaves in the oven. The bread tastes fine, has great texture, but the gaping holes are just not very pretty and makes it impossible to make sandwiches from the center of the loaf.

Did you mix the ingredients thoroughly? I've never had an issue with texture. Also is this the only flour you are using? I usually mix several different types together.

Do to know because I have never tried it. Makes great cobblers and brownies though!

You can turn it off early before the timer goes off, and I did try fruit. My bananas went brown, and I tried another fruit, I think it was peaches or something like that, and it ended up kinda chewy. For some reason, I cannot get it like the stores have it, where it's dry and not mushy. I know that some websites advise the use of pectin (the canning stuff) when you dry fruit out cuz it prevents discoloration. I have yet to try that. I think I may need to experiment with the thickness of the fruit slices. That may have been my downfall. Having said that, I like to dry herbs with it from the garden. Now they turn out much better, and I gotta say, they are much better than the stuff they sell you at the supermarket. One last thing: I don't know that it's about the "heat" so much as it is about the "air". It didn't seem to really get hot that much.

That's odd. I have just used the brand once so far so I couldn't tell you yet if I'm having the same problem. You may have to keep stirring longer.

This is the response I got from the Red Oval Farms folks. They are sending me a coupon as reimbursement. Perhaps you can contact them as well. I bought my crackers from Kroger in Ohio, but it seems with all the comments that the distribution of this problem is not local. We appreciate you taking the time to visit us at http://www.snackworks.com/ and for letting us know about your experience. I'm sorry to hear that your RED OVAL FARMS Stoned Wheat Thins do not taste the same,and have more air in them. The differences you noted may be due to a change in the production facility and process in which we make the cracker. We have not reformulated the recipe, but we have changed the way we make the cracker. We will make sure our Quality team are aware of your comments, so they can address these issues with the production plant The problem you described sounds like the product was not properly stored during distribution. We take care at our manufacturing facilities to ensure that our products are stored at the correct temperature and time frame until we are able to distribute them. Once our products are in distribution, the storage is out of our control. If the product was exposed to excessive temperatures it could cause the problem you described. Again, I apologize for this experience. Thank you for your loyalty and we hope that your next experience is a good one. Adele Stapley Operations Manager

I have noticed browning at the bottom of mine, as well, although I have had it for several months now and use it regularly. I first noticed it after food I was making still smelled like the broccoli and I wasn't making broccoli. I checked the reservoir and noticed burnt-looking brownish residue. I tried to clean it using a bottle brush with the sponge-tip; it helped but did not get it all off. I have watched very carefully and have not noticed any impact on the food (no discoloration, flakes, or change in taste). I am VERY PLEASED with the Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker!!

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

I'm sorry. That's never happened with ours. I wonder if the temperature you cook with has something to do with it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck in finding the answer.

I emailed Fletchers' Mill to ask the same thing before I bought it. Here was their answer:Our muddlers are untreated/unfinished. You could season it with mineral oil from time to time if you want but we don't do anything to it. It is raw maple that has been kiln dried to prevent cracking or warping.

Same thing happened to me. Which is why I stopped using them. I don't think they really cook up. I certainly would not risk baking with them.

Not very well. I made raspberry jam with it last month and found a lot of seeds got through the finest disc. I had to put the puree through a wire mesh sieve after the food mill. But - I did not heat them first and realize now I should have; it may have helped. The smallest screen though, has holes that the seeds can fit through.

I think sometimes the problem is in the paddles. I have had a couple of loaves turn out a bit strange, and usually the reason was that the paddles weren't locked down properly. One time I used too much of a heavy flour with not enough liquid (when experimenting with my own recipe), so that can cause problems as well. Otherwise, everything else has turned out perfectly.

It was likely overloading the motor, I love my Kitchen Aid mixer but I have been beyond disappointed in the food processor. I tried to make peanut butter and it couldn't hack it the motor kept stopping. I had a cheapy $40 food processor before this one and it was better than this. Good luck, have you had any luck trying to slice veggies without them all getting stuck up in the lid?
