CONGRATULATIONS! You’ll love using your new Victorio® Food Strainer. It makes home canning, freezing, and everyday food preparation so much quicker and easier. Also, you can save hundreds of dollars every year by processing your own fresh, natural foods. Your strainer will pay for itself many times while providing better tasting, more nutritious foods.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE To begin assembly, clamp the Food Strainer body (1) to a table or countertop. Do not over tighten. Before first use, remove the shaft (2) from the strainer body by firmly grasping it and pulling it out. Place a drop of vegetable oil on the shaft’s rubber seal ring to lubricate, and then reinsert it into the strainer body.
Slide the squirt guard (10) over the screen, from the rear, until it snaps into place between the body and the small end of the spout. Place the hopper (11) on top of the body. Your strainer is now ready for use. HELPFUL HINTS The strainer operates easily when fruits and vegetables are in the spiral, but can be difficult to turn when empty.
CARE AND CLEANING After using your strainer, disassemble completely and wash all parts in hot, soapy water. Give a little extra attention to the end of the screen and along the seam where seeds and skins may get lodged. A small, stiff brush works best. DO NOT WASH IN DISHWASHER as this can damage the plastic parts and will discolor the aluminum body.

APPLESAUCE Use ripe apples. Wash, remove stems, then quarter. It is not necessary to remove skin, core or seeds. Simmer or steam until tender – about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Process through the Tomato/Apple Screen. Add sugar, honey, or seasoning.

POTATOES AND CORN Make mashed potatoes quickly for large groups or families. No need to peel. Just quarter, cook until soft, and then strain through the Pumpkin Screen. Add milk, butter, and salt to taste. GRAPE JUICE Use the shorter Grape Spiral to process grapes. Wash, remove stems, and strain with the Tomato/Apple Screen.
