It says that it Includes One Multi-Purpose Stainless Steel screen. Does this screen work for tomatoes? Also, what is the width of the C clamp? My countertop has a rounded edge and I am concerned that the clamp won't be large enough.

Hi, I processed 45lbs of tomatoes this past weekend it worked alright but the suction cup lever broke on it's first use. I was madder than a wet hen. The clamp worked ok though and we got thru all the tomatoes. The clamp should work for you I believe. I would suggest having a thin block of wood between your counter and clamp just in case the rounded edge doesn't hold it.

I haven't used mine for tomatoes, however I have mint, 2 basil plants, 2 types of thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley and cilantro in one container. The other one has lots of kale and butter lettuce. As you long as you stake them properly, I'd guess 10 -12 nice size plants. Love these containers.

There are different size mill inserts. I love mine. Used it to make tomato sauce and jam.

There are two screens and well worth it if you are doing small items or 'wet' items like watermelon or fresh pineapple. These tend to stick to the dryer trays.

LOVE it!!!! It is stainless steel, fits all my pots and has very user-friendly "feet," not those silly pegs that break off. As for the leaves, they are "the usual," but I truly expect this steamer to last for many years, even if one has to reattach a leaf after a few years' use.

If you have an uneven counter top, such as a tile surface, the suction won't work. If you don't have a pull-out cutting board, the clamp might not work. It's nice to have options.

No, the clamp only opens 1.5". It only fits on one area of my kitchen counter, so I more often clamp it to my kitchen table, which works nicely, as I can sit down while I use it.

The clamp I bought is at my summer home so I can't measure it. One could rig a spacer, possibly triangular, shaped, to take the clamp out away from your material. I work with odd materials like barn siding, cactus skeleton, Antlers etc. amt the device has been very useful.

Hello JLJ, definitely the one I purchased because it has 4 suction cups it sits on for stability while slicing. Also you can put veggies of all sizes in the one I bought. I sliced a large onion last night in less than a minute. I am in my 60's and cook a lot. I hope this helps you decide. Wendy

The included sanding screen is in my guess a medium sanding screen (good for sanding sheetrock joints). I don't think there are that many sanding screen grits since they work very effectively and usually don't clog. Check you local hardware stores, Lowe's, or Home Depot's for other grits. The sanding screens ususally last a while too. Hope this response helped.

It Seems like it should. I use it to remove the seeds and skins from tomatoes, when I make sauce. Make sure to use the scrren with the smallest sized mesh.

Most likely. The problem is that the clamp opens only so far which is not enough for the standard counter top. A Kitchen table should work just fine.

Would a piece of hardware cloth screen towards the back of scoop work? Don't know how to attach, maybe nut bolt and washer or weave between tines. I have same prob but haven't tried a fix cause I don't have the cloth. Bending might work but you'll lose turd if I goes to back of scoop.

The screen is stainless or it would have rusted by now. The part on the strainer looks to be stainless. The rod part is hard to tell maybe a different quality of stainless then the other parts? I don't think there is any aluminum in it.Is it just me or does "Mike Robison" sound like he is pitching this product? It's as easy to clean as any other French press that i have used anywhere in the world. What qualifies any of these people besides the manufacture to state the materials it is made of? The description does say all stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and strong BPA free plastic. The screen is stainless or it would have rusted by now. The part on the strainer looks to be stainless.

I am sorry I did not know that Champion had a tomato sauce screen, I will check into that item. As far as the large hole strainer it does let more pulp through than the standard strainer, but it may still be too fine for tomato sauce. I haven't tried making tomato sauce with the Champion Juicer yet. I have had my current Champion for over 20 years and it is still working fine. If you were to put the cover on the bottom and puree the tomato out the end it might make a very nice tomato sauce.

No, it doesn't. Its main function is to make tomato sauce or strain other similar vegetables.

You can use the two magnets on the bottom (with the clamp screw turned in) or with just the clamp screw if you want to clamp to the edge of a counter or table top. I can't vouch for the magnet strength as I have a granite work surface, but they attract the utensils quite good!
