With its 2 mm perforation size, this grid helps you achieve smooth, refined textures that are ideal for professional kitchens and serious home cooks who want dependable, repeatable output.
Use this 2 mm food mill grid when you need a finer pass for foods like tomato sauce, fruit coulis, baby food, smooth vegetable purées, or silky mashed potatoes. It supports efficient straining by separating skins, seeds, and fibers while keeping the good pulp moving through, helping you maintain quality and speed during prep.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a 2 mm food mill grid do?
A 2 mm grid produces a finer texture by allowing smaller particles through the screen. It is commonly used for smooth purées, refined tomato sauce, fruit coulis, and other recipes where you want minimal texture and fewer fibers. - Is this grid compatible with all Louis Tellier food mills?
No. This part is made specifically for the Louis Tellier X5 Food Mill. Match your mill model to the X5 system before ordering to ensure proper fit. - When should I replace my food mill grid?
Replace the grid if you notice bending, uneven milling, tearing or warping, persistent clogging, or inconsistent results. A fresh grid can improve throughput and restore the texture you expect. - Is this good for tomatoes and removing seeds?
Yes. A fine 2 mm food mill screen helps separate tomato skins and seeds while pushing smooth pulp through, making it a strong choice for sauces and passata style preparations. - Can I use a 2 mm grid for mashed potatoes?
Yes, if you prefer a smoother, more refined mash. For a more rustic texture, a coarser grid may be better, but the 2 mm screen is excellent for silky results and plating consistency.
