Description
Metal Foley brand food mill with black plastic handle knob.
A food mill would be used to mash and sieve a food simultaneously, by cranking the handle, which would push the food under the paddle attached to the handle, pressing the juices out of the holes in the bottom while keeping most of the solids in the mill. The two metal pieces outside of the bowl of the mill were used to rest against a pot or bowl, so you could use both hands on the mill and apply as much pressure as necessary rather than worrying about spillage or hovering the mill over another vessel.
