I have a hand mill, but I would like to know about other options. We like to can tomatoes as sauce. No skin, no seeds. What do you use?

Discussed here many times. Linked one long discussion below but there are others the search will pull up if interested.

As you can see from this discussion some use a blender as they don't care about seeds, many use Kitchen Aid attachments, many use a Foley, and many use the Squeezo or Victorio type mills.

I use my Victorio.

As Dave said, I use a Foley and it works well. I use it half heatedly to remove big hunks of skins.
I do not care about a few seeds, or chopped up skins, in my tomato products. I think the skin has about 6% of the tomatoes lycopine in it and the tomato seeds are sold in the UK as a natural blood thinner - to take the place of our baby aspirin.

I use a Vita-mix Blender, never see seeds or skin when done processiing, then its cook down time. There are good blenders out there but find the vita-mix the best. as far as the rest if I see the other products at a good price(preferablly free or tagsale...lol) ill give them a try.
