Potato ricer for passata?

[caroline7758]

Having seen the price of passata makers, and since I haven't really got enough toms to justify it, I was wondering about using my potato ricer. Has anyone tried it?

Great thought.  I would stand well back when you squeeze??

I mostly do mine these days in the oven, sugared & salted, till much reduced, then squidge off the skins & mush the flesh with my fingers. Feels nice!!

Idiot's guide, please, Tim- how hot? how long? Lid on?
