A juicer literally keeps the juice and gets rid of all the fibres skin and seeds! **Q: I want to use it for apple sauce. Will the pulp be too fiberous for this strainer? How much of it do you lose with the skins and seeds?** A: I have only used it for my tomato sauce. And if it makes apple sauce as good as my tomato sauce, then I would purchase this. I was amazed on how it knew to strain the skins and seeds. I love this appliance! **Q: Does this applesauce maker leak around the gaskets/strainer part? I have an old one that leaks a LOT and makes a big mess underneath. Thanks!** A: Mine is new and does not leak where the strainer is attached to the main unit. It has a 'rubber' (could be soft plastic...I don't know) ring which serves as a gasket where the strainer is attached to the main unit. I believe the 'rubber' ring is absolutely important, as if it was not there, applesauce would likely squish out there. **Q: how many quarts does it hold?** A: The feed hopper will hold a decent amount. But your holding solids. Not sure how many quarts you would get from a hopper full. ## Frequently Bought Together - Johnny Apple Sauce Maker, Tomato Sauce Maker, Remove Skins & Seeds From Produce, Model 250 Clamp Based Food Strainer (Basic Strainer) - VKP250 Strainer Accessory - 1 X Finest By Victorio Kitchen Products Victorio Food Strainer Screen Gasket --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://cook.desertcart.com/products/2568171-food-strainer](https://cook.desertcart.com/products/2568171-food-strainer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cook Islands* *Store origin: CK* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
