Does anyone have recommendations on a good tomato food mill/sauce processor? I’m new to canning tomato sauce, trying to go by the ball guide but we have a similar model to the food mill above and it either let too many seeds through at the medium plate or kept all the good pulp that we wanted behind (plus the seeds on the small plate). Looking to upgrade for next year.
Also does anyone have a good experience with the kitchen aid attachment?

I just run the crank door mill and have the veggies or fruit puree run through a big strainer (think tea strainer rather than colander) sitting on top of the bowl. That takes care of everything pulpy or seeds although you can use the back of a wooden spoon to gently press pulp through the strainer and into the bowl if you prefer a little pulp.
I’ve got the Victorio food mill, and really like it. I tried using one like that one, and it was just a pain.
I have one that looks very similar (gift from my late MIL) and I never found it to work very well
This question was asked yesterday regarding the attachment and apples, but many commenters talked about their experience using it for canning <edit: tomatoes>, so you may want to check it out here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Canning/comments/1fjdkjd/is_the_kitchenaid_grinder_and_food_mill_combo/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Canning/comments/1fjdkjd/is_the_kitchenaid_grinder_and_food_mill_combo/)
