Basic Operations & Hints
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tintothe
opening at the base of the hopper. Remove all large pits and stems. The strainer will re-
move 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difcult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-tight-
ened 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 & Recipes
Tomato Puree
Quarterripetomatoesandll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ll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avorful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llings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.

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difcultyinoperation.Werecommendyoukeeptheoriginal
