The Life and Times of Waldo's Steamer/Juicer

[Harry]

Hey Waldo you just made my blood sugar rise looking at the piee and cobler. I love to make wine and am a Diabetic & cant even drink it. I also love to cook also. Sure want one of them juicers, I also make jams and jellies. How did your Black berries do this year? I just planted 7 plants this spring and am trying to get plants off of them to plant next spring

I had jut planted mine this spring also Harry. I did get about 8 berries off the cuttings though. Hoping for a good crop next year though. I am sure enjoying my steamer and would reommend it to anyone.Edited by: Waldo

[Wade E]

[Harry]

Waldo I looked on EBAY and found the 12 qt. for about $50.00 plus shipping . Its the aluminum one. Gonna try to talk my sweet wifey to buy it for my birthday in November. I have mustang grapes , elderberry, pumkin, plums,peaches in the freezer. and dont know what else ins in there LOL

[Wade E]

I was just looking at that but dont worry I'm not going to buy it yet. Maybe in a month or two.

 

[Waldo]

Waldo! You're killin' me here! I want pie and cobbler! I no longer want Sunday dinner, I just want desserts! (We need a slobbering mouth emoticon!)

I'm sorry pwp....perhaps I should go ahead and get a bottle of my Port headed your way

 

[Waldo]

Take 3 gallon zip loc bags of previously steamed apples


Add 4 cups brown sugar, a generous helping of cinammon


A couple of cloves and resteam on Steamer/Juicer then


process through a strainer and viola...APPLESAUCE !!!

I have now got to find me one of those food mills that is on the stand. Holding that one in one hand


and processing the apples was quite a chore but I got it done.

 

[NorthernWinos]

That sieve should have come with a stand, mine came with a strong wire rack that holds it up and over a bowl...
I prefer The Foley Mill....

Was lucky to come across a Stainless Steel pot that fits right under it...love it...

 

[Waldo]

I have one of the Foley'sbookmarked on e-Bay wino

 

[NorthernWinos]

Good going, your going to love it....

Here is a photo of the stand for the colander cone seive...

I never use the cone thing anymore....moved here with it, brought it into the old house, then moved it over here...just keep it on the shelf...just incase....It is a useful thing...but like the Foley better.....

If you go to 2nd hand stores and garage sales keep an eye open for a pot to fit the Foley...my honey had a Stainless pot when I met him...lucky me...

 

[Waldo]

So you can use the Foleys for about anything?

 

[NorthernWinos]

I use it for Tomato Juice, Tomato sauce, Snappy Tom [V/5 Juice] etc...I'm sure it would work for apple sauce, think I have done that in the past....
Looked on eBay like you did and see that they say you can use it to rice cooked potaoes...didn't know that. I am a garage sale 'Kitchen Gadget Junkie', I have a potato ricer, used it a few times...it make nice riced potatoes...they look like Spaghetti Squash...nice for a change. Will be interesting to see if the Foley will make riced potatoes...

Here are some photos of the Foley apart....the pot part and paddle are pretty undistructable....but the nut has a wire on it that scrapes the bottom of the mill, it can break.....as I found out in the past.....I got new [to me]/used ones at garage sales and traded up for ones with wires...sold the old ones at a friends junk store...

So if you buy a used one on eBay ask the seller if the wire is there.....it does work without it, but it is nice to have it there.....
Good luck finding one...

Well now, ya know you gotta have one of them potato ricers to make the lefse...

 

[NorthernWinos]

And...after you run the potatoes through the potato ricer, you can mash them and the mashed potatoes have no lumps....love gadgets....they do take up a lot of space tho....

Of all the Norwegian foods we get to sample around these here parts of the country...I like Lefse and love those rolled up things with whipped cream and powdered sugar...you can have the Ludefisk [spelling?] a.k.a....rude-a-fish....

[NorthernWinos]

Waldo....juicing up here in the Northland too....

Apples are very small this year....too dry...and the tree overproduced....I was mean and didn't thin them this spring....so the poor little tree is hanging...
Using up some of the produce....just when you think your gaining on it.....the neighbor showed up with another box of watermelon....life is good!!!!

Lutefisk. Nasty stuff! Norwegians discovered there's refrigeration and no longer at that stuff. Too bad they didn't figure that out here!

It's certainly an aquired taste. I'll skip it thank you very much.
Krumkake is the rolled up things. You can fill them with loads of fillings but the cream and sugar sure are good. Maybe I'll make some this year... Someone gave me a stove top iron a few years ago but I've never used it. Oops...

KRUMKAKE...my idea of fine Norwegian dinning....
