[Problem to be solved] To provide a method for operating a food mill and an automatic food milling apparatus suitable for various foodstuffs heated and softened using superheated vapor are milled by passing the foodstuffs through a strainer while maximally suppressing destruction of cells of the foodstuffs, to continuously manufacture puree with original colors, odors, tastes, and nutritional values kept unchanged. [Solution] A rotation speed difference between a upper mortar and a lower mortar is used to crush and ground ingredient foodstuffs by a shearing force between the upper mortar and the lower mortar, and a conical recessed surface of the lower mortar is utilized to separate the crushed ingredient foodstuffs into filtered foodstuffs and residues by a centrifugal force resulting from rotation of the lower mortar so that the filtered foodstuffs and the residues are collected in a filtered foodstuff collection unit and a residue collection unit, respectively. |
