The food mill, also known as a sifter or mouli, is a kitchen tool that can be used to grind a variety of foods into a fine paste, such as meat, vegetables, and bread. It consists of a flat disk with several small holes in the middle. The food is placed on top of the disk and then pressed down with a heavy object, such as a Ceramic Bowl or plate, until the holes are all filled with the desired amount of grinding.
