Tomato juicer advice

[litenlarry]

I am looking for a tomato juicer to be used for canning tomato's for tomato juice...Due to our recent kitchen renovation, I can no longer use the old method..
I am looking for "juicer" for lack of the correct terminology.
Something where the seeds and skin is extracted, creating a product ready for processing...
I don't want to break the bank, just need some advice...
Thanks in advance...

Are you wanting to can tomatos or just juice. Are you making tomato juice or tomato sauce. Perhaps a food mill? What was the old method? Blanching them is the best way to get the skins off without waste.
I like to make salsa, and tomato sauce, but I hate peeling tomatos.

My terminology on the "old" process is probably lacking, stuff my Mother gave me years ago..

I am talking about tomato juice..

My preferred method, is quarting tomatoes ,skins on, put in a large pot, heat almost to a boil..
To describe the device used to strain out the seeds and skin, basically a aluminum funnel, with small holes on the sides and a wooden mandrel, placed over a stock pot..Rotating the mandrel and pressing towards the side, juices go to the stock pot, remints remain ..More to it than that, probably a museum piece..
The other method I use, there again most likely museum piece but not my preferred method..
Same as the other method, except the way to extract the skin and seed from the juice is a aluminum round , funnel looking thing, hand cranked paddle, that forces the residue to the top and sides...
Hard to explain...may have to take pic's of these devices..

The perforated funnel with the wooden plug that you rotate is called a 'ricer'-don't ask me why, I don't know. It is also very useful for crushing fruit to make jams and jellies. And the wife can use the wooden bit to whack you over the head when you are naughty.

Yeah I remember the term ricer, just never associated the term with this utensil..I should have paid more attention, or maybe she smacked me with the the wooden mandrel...
Thanks...

When do you add the vodka and celery stalk?

Breville: there are several size choices. my wife just got one and has put up a lot of tomato juice in a short time vs her old hand cranked juicer. lee

Thanks for all the replies and advice...
I intend to use the 'ricer' and make a temporary prep table...
Still a work in progress...

Time will tell...

This is what we have used for years and always does the job. It works very smooth and is easy to clean up with little mess. May not be what you are looking for though...

I am going to make juice the somewhat easy way,,Wash and quarter the tomato's, put in a stock pot, heat, pour thru ricer using the wooden mallet to press the tomatoes..Remove the skin and seeds collected, and repeat..Then heat the juice to a slow boil , put in jars and can using a water bath..

We use an old cast aluminum item like the one shown in Post #10. Rather than hand-crank,
I use a variable speed 1/2" drill while my wife feeds the tomatoes. Speeds up the job.

Agree, the Breville juicer is great. In addition to its sleek appearance, you seem to be able to put whole apples and kiwis in the chute and squeeze out the perfect juice. I use my Breville almost every day and I like it. I think it is also a good idea to use it to make tomato juice.
