Has anybody seen a place in the UK which sells the Imperia Spremy Tomato strainer http://www.cutleryandmore.com/details.asp?SKU=12111
Has anybody actually used one? if so are they any good or does anyone know of an alternative available in the Uk?

Thanks!

Sadly - no. I've been searching for one too, but I think it's going to be a shipping job. They're a really good piece of kit and I love gadgets anyway.

Many of us have the simple one, available from Seeds of Italy, which is excellent and very good value for money.

Thanks Tigger. Just need to find an Italian site that will import it to the uk now! If anybody knows one that they have used in the past asnd is reliable, please let me know.

Seeds of Italy have a UK branch in Harrow

That should be what you want

Just tell them there's a herd of us who'll buy one.......

Is that the one that several people have tried and can recommend?

I've considered it several times in the SofI catalogue and would probably get to buying one if somebody else has done the testing!

I have one from SoI and I use it every year! It is easy to use, but it can come 'unsuckered' from the worktop if you are pulping firm tomatoes. I chop the tomatoes into quarters, and put the pulp through about 4 times and the resulting waste is minimal. It rinses easily under hot water, although you must take care to clean the spindle properly, as it fills up with pulp!
Much easier than skinning and chopping, and the resulting passata is lovely!

The American site will import it for us. I'm going to do a bit more homework on it and then post the options.

Just been browsing the new Lakeland catalogue and they now have what they call a 'Tomato Master'. Makes tomato pulp, leaving the pips and skin to one side. price £25.99 with a suction base.

Not sure if this is the same thing but sounds good to me.
