I have the Villaware strainer, hand crank, and would give it high praise as well. I don't want to steal the thread but had a general strainer question...do you ever cook your tomatoes first? I never have, just cut and put through the strainer, then cook. A fellow gardener at work said she always cooks hers first and it is much easier to get everything out of them. I strain for the purpose of removing the seeds. I don't think I've noticed the sauce ever having that off taste in general, just when I actually bite on a seed. I really dislike that flavor. Anyway, I was curious as to how y'all do yours.
