Know before you buy
The discs feature 1.5mm, 2.5mm, and 4.0mm holes, allowing you to control the final texture of your food. The 1.5mm disc is best for fine, silky purees and cullis, while the 4.0mm disc is ideal for chunkier soups and coarser vegetable mashes.
Yes, because it is crafted from durable stainless steel, the mill is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and ensure the grating discs remain sharp over time.
Absolutely. With a 5-quart capacity and a flow rate of 3.3 pounds per minute, it is designed specifically for high-volume tasks like canning, large-batch soups, or preparing ingredients for a crowd.
Yes, Louis Tellier offers replacement disc-graters for this model. This ensures that you can continue using your mill for years to come even if a disc is misplaced or wears down.
The 12-inch diameter is quite large, so it is best suited for use with wide-mouth stockpots or large mixing bowls. Ensure your vessel has a diameter slightly smaller than 12 inches to allow the mill to rest securely on the rim.
