I have had my Victorio strainer for many years and it works very well, but I do cook the tomatoes first. If I am making juice I don't peel the tomatoes first. I quarter them and through in the pot to cook before processing through the strainer. I have 4 different cones and 2 spirals. If I am making some thing I want more texture, I peel some of the tomatoes and cook before putting through the salsa cone. For the grapes, you need the shorter spiral because the seeds will jam the longer spiral.
If you are thinking about applesauce, it isn't necessary to peel or core the apples before cooking. Makes it so easy.
