- Cons: Processing very large quantities requires some proper elbow grease compared to an electric version.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner House Bistro in Cardiff needed to upgrade their prep equipment to cope with demand for their Sunday roast, which features a famously creamy mash. Their previous method was labour-intensive and couldn't keep up with the volume, often leading to inconsistencies.
"The Tellier food mill has been a fantastic addition. The mash is consistently perfect now, and we've cut our potato prep time significantly. It's a simple, robust tool that just does the job brilliantly, every single service."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The bistro now processes over 40kg of potatoes every Sunday, increasing their mash output by 30% while reducing staff prep time, allowing them to focus on other elements of their popular roast dinner.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash all components in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Unfold the legs and place them securely over a deep, stable pot or container.
- Select your desired sieve (the 3mm sieve is included) and place it in the base, ensuring it sits flat.
- Insert the crank handle assembly into the centre of the mill. You're ready to go!
Keeping It Going
- Always disassemble the mill for cleaning immediately after use to prevent food from drying on.
- All parts are stainless steel, making them easy to hand wash. Avoid abrasive scourers to protect the finish.
- Ensure all components are completely dry before storing to maintain their condition.
- Periodically check that the crank handle mechanism is free of any debris for smooth operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main benefit of this over an electric food processor?
A: A food mill gives you superior texture, especially for starchy foods like potatoes, as it crushes rather than blitzes, avoiding a gluey consistency. It also automatically separates skins and seeds.
Q: Can I use this for making tomato passata?
A: Absolutely. It's perfect for processing cooked tomatoes, as it will produce a smooth sauce while leaving the skins and seeds behind in the mill.
Q: How difficult is it to turn the handle when processing food?
A: The long crank handle provides excellent leverage, making the action surprisingly smooth and efficient, even when processing dense foods like potatoes.
Q: Can I process hot food directly from the cooking pot?
A: Yes, the stainless steel construction is designed to handle hot foods safely, so you can mill cooked vegetables or fruits straight away.
Q: What does the 3mm sieve produce?
A: The included 3mm sieve is ideal for creating a classic, velvety smooth texture for mashed potatoes, soups, and apple or other fruit sauces.
Q: Are other sieve sizes available for this DF099 food mill?
A: Yes, a range of interchangeable sieves (from 1mm to 4mm) are available separately to give you full control over your final texture.
Q: What is a 'triturator'?
A: 'Triturator' is the professional term for this type of heavy-duty food mill, from the Latin word 'triturare', which means to crush or grind.
Q: How much food can it hold at once?
A: It's designed for continuous feeding. You can keep adding scoops of food as you turn the handle, with a processing capability of up to 5kg per minute.

Explore more from TellierHow 'Double Crushing' Delivers Smoother Results, Faster
Ever wondered what makes a professional food mill so much more effective than just pushing food through a sieve? The secret is the 'double crushing' action. Think of it like a two-stage process happening in one smooth motion. As you turn the handle, the main curved paddle presses the cooked food downwards against the holes of the sieve – that’s the first crush.
But crucially, a flat metal bar underneath the paddle rotates at the same time, scraping the purée from the underside of the sieve. This stops the holes from getting clogged and actively forces the food through, ensuring a continuous, fast flow. It's like having a built-in spatula that clears the way with every turn, which is why this professional triturator for kitchen use can handle 5kg of potatoes a minute without you having to stop and scrape.
Who Should Buy This?
