Assembly Instructions
1. Clamp the body firmly to your countertop
or table.
2. Assemble the crankshaft, spring, and
cup (Fig. A), making sure spring fits into
open end of the cup.
3. Place the thin flat rubber gasket in the
inside collar of the screen assembly.
(Fig. B)
4. Insert the square end of the crankshaft
assembly into the square hole inside the
spiral assembly.
5. Now fit the screen, spiral, and shaft
assembly into the body, inserting the
threaded end of the shaft through the
bushing in the body. (Fig. C)
6. Place the screen screws into the slotted
lugs on the body and begin to tighten the
wing nuts. Fit the guard around screen
assembly, slip the slot on guard over
screen screws, completely tighten
wingnuts until the screen assembly is
attached securely to the body. (Fig. D)
7. Attach the handle onto the threaded shaft
protruding from the back of the body and
tighten the handle securely to the shaft
by using the wing nut.
8. Insert the hopper into the top opening
of the body until snug.
9. View looking through hopper opening
when assembled correctly. (Fig. E)
Before assembling your Sauce MasterTM for the first time, wash and dry all
components thoroughly. Coat the crankshaft and bushing of the body with
a little vegetable oil.

Wash your fruit or vegetables before you begin processing with the Sauce Master™.
You will need two bowls, one to collect the puree, and one for the seeds, stems, and skins.
Since the Sauce Master™ works so quickly and with so little waste, a large bowl under the tray
to catch the puree and a small one for the waste works best!
DO NOT OPERATE THE SAUCE MASTER™ EMPTY.
The juice from the fruits and vegetables act as a lubricant for the mechanism, and reduces wear
on the components. Cranking the handle before food is placed in the strainer can cause damage
to the spiral.
Cut fruit or vegetables into small pieces. Pieces should be small enough to fit into the opening
at the base of the hopper. Remove all large pits and stems. The strainer will remove peels,
cores, seeds and small stems.
Do not force foods into the spiral. Guide them in with the large end of the plunger.
This will help eliminate jamming and squirting.
You may need to occasionally remove the squirt guard tray and scrape pulp from the screen of
the Sauce Master™, depending on the type of food you are processing. A rubber spatula works
best for this.
The squirt guard tray may also need to be removed when straining dry ingredients such as
beans and potatoes, as they tend to get stuck between the screen and the guard.
To get the most out of your fruits and vegetables; you can re-strain the skins from the waste
bowl a second time.
If you are straining foods to can, freeze or dehydrate, consult a good food guide to home
preserving. Proper methods are important!
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the handle becomes difficult to turn while processing, turn a complete turn counter clockwise,
then forward again slowly. This will help clear any obstructions and allow the strainer to operate
normally. If the jam does not clear, you will need to disassemble and clean out the jam.
TIP: It may also help by slightly loosening the wing nuts that attach the screen. Over-tightened
wing nuts can put too much pressure on the spiral, making it harder to turn.
If the juice is backing up into the hopper and not going through the screen, the screen may be
clogged up with pulp. Simply remove the squirt guard tray and scrape the pulp off the outside
of the screen with a rubber spatula.
When processing juicy fruits like tomatoes, there may be slight leaking from the handle. If there
is excessive leaking, check to make sure the clear silicone gasket (1951-17) is in place.
Replacing the gasket periodically may be necessary.
Replacement parts are available to order if needed.
Basic Operations & Hints

Basic Operations & Recipes
Tomato Puree
Quarter ripe tomatoes and fill the Sauce Master’sTM spacious hopper. No need
to peel or core, the Sauce MasterTM does it all for you! Then just push the
plunger as you turn the handle in a clockwise direction. In moments thick,
tangy puree will be pouring from the tray to quickly fill your bowl. Meanwhile,
dry skins, seeds, and cores fall out the end of the screen into a second bowl
with absolutely no juice wasted. In just minutes, you’ll have gallons of puree
ready to put up as velvety-smooth tomato juice. Or simmer it with your
favorite seasonings for the most flavorful spaghetti sauce you’ve ever tasted!
For an even thicker textured tomato sauce with seeds, but no skins, try using
the optional pumpkin screen (available separately) in place of the standard
screen.
Applesauce
Simply cut apples into quarters and simmer in boiling water until tender. No
need to peel or core! Drain and let cool slightly. Fill the hopper and push the
plunger while you crank in a clockwise direction. If jamming occurs, apples
are too hard and need to be cooked a little longer. For a thicker, chunky-style
apple sauce, use the optional pumpkin screen (available separately) in place of
the standard screen.
Berry Juice
By using the optional berry screen (available separately), you can remove even
the tiny seeds found in blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and currants.
Hull and juice gallons of strawberries fast for jelly or syrup. Add some crushed
whole berries for delicious jam!
Pumpkin, Squash, or Potato Purees
The optional pumpkin screen (available separately) creates the smoothest
pumpkin, squash, or sweet potato pie fillings or mashed Irish potatoes (no
peeling needed). Before processing, simply dice into 1 inch squares and
steam or bake until tender. Allow to cool.
Baby Food
With today’s concern over additives and excess sugar in our children’s food,
the Sauce MasterTM is an ideal alternative to store bought baby food. It can
easily puree fresh vegetables, fruits, or cooked meats and poultry. And by
using the three different sized screens, you can tailor the texture of the food to
meet your baby’s needs!
Grape Juice
The optional grape spiral (available separately) is specially designed to let you
make gallons of delicious grape juice! Wash the grapes and remove from the
stem. Assemble your Sauce MasterTM with the standard screen and the
optional grape spiral in place of the standard spiral.

Carrot Cake
3 C (690g) carrots, pureed 1/2 tsp. (2.5g) salt
4 eggs 2 tsp. (2.5g) baking powder
1-1/4 C (300ml) vegetable oil 1-1/4 C (460g) walnuts, chopped
2 C (460g) sugar 1 tsp. (5ml) vanilla
2 C (460g) flour 1/2 tsp. (2.5g) ground ginger
Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. In large bowl mix together carrot puree and eggs.
Add oil and blend. Gradually stir in sugar, flour, salt and baking powder mixing well.
Add nuts, vanilla and ginger. Combine and scoop into greased loaf pan. Bake for
1-1/2 hours until cake sets. Test by inserting toothpick or knife into the center of
cake, when you pull it out clean, your cake is done. Remove from oven and allow
to cool before icing.
Recipes Using a Salsa Screen Insert
Fresh Raw Salsa
4 medium tomatoes, cored and quartered 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 red onion, quartered Salt and Pepper to taste
1 red bell pepper, stems ribs, seeds removed 1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeño, stems, ribs, seeds removed
Optional: Parsley or chilli powder.
Because the holes in the salsa screen are large, all stems and seeds to peppers must
be removed first. Cut all of the vegetables small enough to fit into the Saucer Master™.
Alternate putting tomatoes, onion, pepper and jalapeño into hopper. This will help mix
everything together. Put mixture in a bowl and add chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt
and pepper. Stir together and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours for the best results. If too
watery, drain excess liquid.
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos and tostadas.
Make approximately 4 cups.
Cleaning and Storage
Disassemble the Norpro Sauce Master™ and hand wash all parts in hot, soapy water.
Do not put in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly right after use. You may
need to use a stiff bristled brush to clean the screens.
The white plastic parts may become discolored after straining cooked foods, such as
tomatoes and berries.
Applying a drop of vegetable oil to the clear silicone gasket (part 1951-17) is
recommended to keep it from drying and becoming brittle.
Spray cooking oil on the screen assembly prior to storing to prevent screen from
rusting and eventual difficulty in operation. We recommend you keep the original
box to store the Sauce Master™ when it’s not being used.
