Naysen-
Sorry to hear that was your experience, too. I called customer service twice but neither person was any help. Chopping smaller seemed to help a bit; also not filling the hopper more than halfway and using the small end of the tamper. I just kept taking the screen out when it got too bad and cleaning it out with a brush, which seemed to help most of all.
I worked from late morning until 6 pm and all I did was puree the ripest of the tomatoes that I had and clean up the mess I made. Adding to my problem was the fact that the mill won't attach to anything in my kitchen but a rather wiggly table so when the turning gets tough, the table rocks so much that the juice sloshes out of the bowl onto the table and floor.
Never even got to canning any of it today!
Tomorrow I'll tackle the canning and hopefully get to the rest of the tomatoes that still need milling-probably another 40 lbs.
I was hoping I either had a lemon that I could exchange or that someone knew a trick that would make it run smoothly all the time...sigh.
