I've recently been given a Kenwood A901 mincer which came with both fine and coarse screens. The fine screen appears to have spots of rust on it. Should I try to rub it off with wire wool, then give it a good wash and then dry in a switched off oven?

I'd get a sheet or two of "wet & dry" paper, and on a flat surface, sand the face of the screen. Could start with a coarse paper, then with a fine one to finish. I always lightly oil mine when finished, and store in plastic food bag.

If they are carbon steel they will rust easily, but sometimes a light polish with oil is sufficient to clean them up. If not flat surface rubbing with wet and dry as JollyJohn suggested.

I spray mine(including blade) with cooking spray after cleaning and drying them.
Then leave them in the assembly ready for next time

A light coating (wiped on) of mineral oil would be better; cooking oil can attract airborne dirt and make it gummy (a lot quicker than mineral oil). Mineral oil is what we use in the trade
Just my opinion

I will use some of this next time
Its food grade and stops rust
I spray it on my meat slicer and virtually everything (TV ,Computer, car ,furniture,its a stainless steel Polish too) to stop rust as I live near the ocean

I agree with Brican, mineral oil is great. I use it in my meat room on all my equipment; meat saw, grinder, butcher block table, it doesn't get rancid like a vegetable oil would. I keep an oil can filled with mineral oil and give the rollers on my meat saw table a squirt. After I wash down my wooden butcher block tables I let them dry and then give them a good rub of oil and they stay in great shape.

Hi
I noticed tonight that the back of the auger is rubbing in the housing giving me a black sludge. Any ideas how I sop it?
Thanks
George
