[Chicken6]

is there a machine that will help turn my tomaots in to a nice sauce like substance by seperating the pulp?

A sieve?

Isn't that the machine that the italians etc use for making passarta? But I haven't a clue what its called.

Yes, they're called spremipomodori.

We have a hand-powered one that does the trick. Seeds of Italy sell them, but they're really plasticy. If you can find a cast iron one, snap it up.

and thats why I did not remember the name!!

A PASSA POMODORI many thanks. Their postage is really good. I'll check it out and order in the morning.

What do you separate from what? I just cook the lot, minus the skins which I skin first (after freezing they just pop off).

The seeds make the pasata bitter. These machines separate out the skins and the pips.

I wasn't recommending that site. I just banged the name into google italia and that was the 1st link with a decent photo.

Last year, Iread a few reviews from people who'd been using the machine and all were very positive but I couldn't remember what it was called. Didn't need one last year due to blight.
