I buy stuff from FoodServiceWarehouse from time to time. Well, I’m not sure if they’re going out of business or what but they’re having a helluva sale. I just bought a 16 qt SS Stockpot with lid for $32 including shipping.
Has anyone received their order? It’s been a week and I haven’t gotten any shipping confirmation yet. Their customer service number says they can’t take calls due to reduced staff. I e-mailed them today, so we’ll see.
I received an e-mail (within 24 hours) stating that, due to the going-out-of-business thing, orders aren’t shipping for up to 10-15 days after ordering. They confirmed my order and let me know all the items were in stock, thanked me for my patience, etc. People are losing their jobs, so I’m not going to be a pill about it. I appreciated the response.

My order arrived today several hours earlier than the tracking had indicated. I’m pleased with all of the items, especially the ricer which has 3 discs !

There are some differences. A ricer does a better job with ingredients which can become gummy such as hard cooked egg yolks and cooked potatoes. The ricer leaves them loose and silky. The food mill excels with separating pulp from seeds/skin such as tomatoes and berries.
I haven’t tried a ricer with beans but have always been pleased with my food mill for that application.
I have hand issues and the ricer makes it easier doing tasks that I used to use a fork to mash.
If my hands were still strong and I had to choose then I’d opt for the food mill.
Okay, now I’m a little worried. Still no shipping confirmation, and other people are already receiving their orders. I guess they said 10-15 days, so I’ll give them til then.
It’s been 14 days and I’ve yet to receive a shipment notice. I did receive an email about 9 days ago that was a “we haven’t forgotten about you” but it wasn’t an actual confirmation email.
I did receive my order - 2 days after I got the confirmation. I placed another order that same day, and haven’t heard anything about it yet. They have put a $100 minimum on all orders, so I contacted them to see if my order made it in before that rule, and I haven’t heard back. Honestly I’ve contacted them 3 times about it, offering to add to the order to reach the minimum if necessary, but no response. I remain optimistic.
