See a review by Steve Ott of Kitchen Garden Magazine Aug 2018
Pop the tomatoes in the top, turn the handle, and it will separate the tomato pulp (passata), from the skin and the seeds. A must in every Italian kitchen. Bottle the passata and then use for pasta, pizza, sauces, ketchup, soups etc.
You can Choose between two sizes:
- Passata Machine Velox £32.99
- Passata Machine "Large" £39.99
Passata – Passata is NOT liquidised tomatoes nor passed through a mouli both of which will give you a cloudy, bitty and unpleasant ‘passata’ instead of being smooth, red and velvety.
You could do it the traditional way and dip the toms in boiling water, removing the skins and passing them (passata) through a sieve which is time consuming. Alternatively, there are some passata machines on the market but we recommend the Rigmonti one we’ve supplied here for 20 years, great value and it will process about 50kg of tomatoes per hour. Simply fix it using the large sucker to a work top, put the tomatoes in the hopper, turn the handle, the passata comes out one side, the dry skin and pips the other.
How to hermetically seal a jar - Fill your sterilized jars with the passata, a dash of olive oil and a pinch of salt, rosemary or garlic or chilli to taste….Then simply put the lid on hand tight, place jars into a deep saucepan with water to just under their lids, place a tea towel in between, cover and bring to a rolling boil and simmer for 20 mins. Turn the gas off and then allow to cool before removing the jars from the water and store in the larder or a cool dark airy place.
Polypropylene is recyclable, has no toxic waste, no toxic emission, no halogens and no flourocarbens so it is low impact on the environment.

Passata machine
I have 3 greenhouses and grow Amish Paste plum toms for passata, as you can imagine I have a good few to process. I have done by hand for years, I decided to buy this as it took me ages to push through a sieve several times. So, the machine seems solid, easy to put together and incredibily quick at creating great passata, I am speechless at how good and quick it is. As regards cleaning, again easy to take apart and clean. I really questioning myself why I did not buy this years ago. Service by Seeds of Italy also very good. Thank you

Passata Machine By Rigamonti Of Lecco
It took a while to get used to this machine but I’ve got on well with it since. It’s been a good year for tomatoes!

Passata machine
This has been a revelation. What took an hour with a mouli took just 10 minutes with the passata machine, and it's a much better consistency. We put the pulp through 4 or 5 times until it was quite dry, and it yielded more than the mouli. I'm really impressed and wish I'd had this at the start of the tomato season.

It hasn’t had much use yet, but it certainly appears to do the job. I am happy to recommend it.

Rigamonti Passata Maker
Great idea to make your own pasta and this machine makes it so easy. Put the tomato's through a couple of times and little waste. Makes a great texture. The only downside...cleaning!

Rigamonti Passata Maker
A quite excellent piece of kit. Easy to use and clean and makes beautiful passata. One of those appliances about which you ask yourself, 'why didn't I get one of these years ago?' Highly recommended.

Passata machine
It took me a little while to set it up and it needs to be on a really smooth surface to grip on to it to prevent moving around. Still not sure if I set it up correctly, however it did the job and it separated the skin and pips well. Bit of a job to clean!
