Juicer

[Guest guest]

Hi Jamie,

 

First, i think ew might have a couple of juicer recipes in the files - i got one

a couple of christmases (?sp) ago and think i found a few good ones then. As a

rule you can juice pretty much any fruit or veg. But *never* try a potato!

 

Apple is a good way of sweetening if you're addintg something bitter like

celery. Tomato can be quite sweet too. Here's a few recipes i found that look

similar to what i used to do. Must get my juicer out again!

 

Mixed Fruit and Veg Juice

by Janet Brinkworth

3 large tomatoes, chopped

1/2 medium cucumber, chopped

2 apples, chopped into chunks

2 oranges, peeled and cut into pieces

 

Method

1. Pass the carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, apples and oranges through a juicer.

 

2. Stir the resulting juice thoroughly, pour into 2 glasses and serve at once.

 

 

 

Summer Cleanser (ignore the title!)

by Simon Brown

from Good Food Live

 

Ingredients

main

3 carrots

1/2 apple

1/2 orange, peeled

1/2 boiled beetroot

1 celery stick

2 large kale leaves

 

 

Method

1. Using a juicer, juice the carrots, apple, orange, beetroot, celery and kale.

 

2. Serve at once.

 

 

 

Apple Carrot Zinger www.veganchef.com

 

1/2 lbs. carrots, washed well

3/4 lb. apples (approximately 2 large), washed well

1-inch piece ginger

 

Begin by trimming the ends off the carrots and then cut them into 4-inch pieces

that will fit through your juicer. Next, core the apples, discarding the seeds,

and cut the apples into pieces that will fit through your juicer. Remove some of

the peel from the piece of ginger. Turn on your juicer, and juice in the

following order: half of the carrots, the piece of ginger, all of the apple, and

then the remaining half of the carrots. This will allow the flavors to blend

while juicing. Serve immediately to retain as many of the nutrients as possible.

If necessary, store the juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and

use within 2 days.

 

 

 

Hope these are useful!

Juicing has been used as a way to combat diseases for a long time.

Your body generally lacks enzymes because of the cooking and processing done

in most everything we eat in the US. Enzymes are destroyed in practically

any processing which leaves you deficient in what your body actually needs

to perform all its natural functions. I find it very odd that very few

people even consider enzymes but spend thousands on vitamins and minerals.

I'd suggest reading up on what enzymes do in the body for starters.

 

Certain Juicers are not so good to use because they tear apart the molecules

of the food at high speed (centrifugal juicers like Mr. Juiceman) and also

heats (cooks) the enzymes making them of little use in the body. One of the

main purposes of juicing is that you can greatly increase the enzyme intake

and your body doesn't have to deal with all the massive amount of fiber in

your digestive tract. Imagine chewing on 5 lbs of carrots compared to an 8

oz. glass of carrot juice.

 

There's a world to be said about juicing for sure. Just not enough time

here.

Tom, I would enjoy hearing your feelings about juicing, is it just a way to

consume more fruits and veggies? Thanks, Ralph

Well, It is a subject I have studied a little. This is my take on it. The

Greenstar is a very good machine, If you are raw then you probably won't use the

pasta kit. The GS 2000 or GS 1000 would be a very good machine the rpm is 110

absolutely excellent. Does wheatgrass too. You can get it on the internet at

give or take $350-$375. no shipping. try 1-800-578-5939

 

You might also want to ask about the Kempo Pro E1303 110 volt. Goes at 160 rpm

also a very excellent machine (I have this machine for the last 2.1/2 years,

wonderful) They probably sell it for $325-$330. Comes with a 10 year warranty.

You won't go wrong with either machine.

Robrt...thanks for your reply. I have heard that the Green Star produces foam

when it does wheatgrass...do you have any info on that?

thanks

i hate the greenstar twin gear

it can't do soft pears

it can only do a quart or two before having to be unclogged

it wastes too much fruit juice

its cumbersome to use and clean

the only reason why i use it is because its the best one i could find

I use a Samson Juicer http://www.fernsnutrition.com/samson_juicer.html

which has worked for me, it's not a commercial grade juicer that

costs alot and it's sooooooooooo easy to clean, comes apart in 5

seconds and has one single auger. It does juice, veggies, pasta

etc.

 

And of course there is the other full range of juicers

http://www.fernsnutrition.com/wheatgrass.html

 

Fern's Nutrition has great customer service too

Yes, but not excessive, it's one of the reasons why I liked the Kempo PRO a

little better. But both machines work very well though. I much prefer the twin

auger system over the single auger, I don't like the centrigufal system at all

and the masticating (Champion juicer) if also good but does not do grasses. On

the GS and the Kempo PRO I like the magnetic thingies that will keep your juice

longer fresh, in case that you have to take some juice with you. I am sure

everybody loves their own juicer and that is okay. In my case I have not found

a juicer whose pulp comes out drier then the Kempo PRO. At a low rpm so your

juice does not heat up. Hope this helps.

[Guest guest]

well I can tel you this....DO NOT buy a Hamilton beach model from walmart...LOL!

 

My hubby, in his most loving and best interests, knew I was in the market for a

juicer, and he " surprised " me with one from walmart. (SIGH)!!!

 

What a hunk of junk...lol...talk about a mess and waste of fruit!

 

I am trying to figure out how to replace it with out hurting his feelings, he

meant well, but his juicer is a disaster with toooooooooooooo many pieces to

clean and it doesnt get much juice out, just leaves a wet pulpy mess.

 

THe only thing it does well is carrot juice!

 

That said, I recomend if you are going to buy a juicer, make sure you spend the

money to get one that will serve its purpose, and be easy to clean.

 

I still want a juicer and have been comparing prices and different models, I

like the looks of the champion and the fact that it does frozen bananas, does

anyone have one of Jack LeLanes Juicers? Is it easy to clean and does it do

frozen bananas? I have a chance to pick one up for only $50 which is a steal,

but as my hubby has already demonstrated, you get what you pay for, so any input

would be welcome!

 

Thanks!

If you are looking for a moderate price juicer that will liquid from the fibrous

pulp go with a centrifugal juicer. Kenwood and Philips are some of the more

known brands.

 

The best juicer to get for home is a Masticating pressure juicer because they

will give you a high quality juice and little pulp. These are expensive. Usually

over $400

 

And the best juicer to get ever is a Hydraulic juicer and usually resturants and

bars own these type of juicers. They are better than the last two I mentioned

and they squeeze pulp into a teeny tiny flat card board

... leaving virtually nothing behind. I think you can even the put cores in these

without it hurting the machine.

Although realistically the Masticating pressure juicer can do pretty much as

well as the hydraulic for at home recipes.

Bless Champion! There is only one model.

They change the name every so often, but all of the parts are

interchangeable, even if your juicer is from the 70s, as mine is.

The booklet that comes with it has been re-formatted, but it contains

the same info that my 1976 booklet has.

If you can find a Champion on ebay, do it (I got mine for $100)

Otherwise, the one you find in the store is the latest " model " , which

just means that it is a modern color and has a plastic " jammer " (the

older ones,like mine, have wood ones)

I think the ones in stores cost around $200-$250. Bid on something on

ebay for less than that. If you can't get one within two weeks, then

go and get one from the store. (only, be careful on ebay, and scroll

down to make sure that you can see that they are including all the

parts-- I almost accidentally bought replacement parts)

My Champion is from the mid-70s (judging by the booklet's copyright

date). It works great. I love it.

I wrote to Champion about model numbers and they told me that model

numbers basically just tell them when the product was made. Serial

numbers do that, too. their parts work on every model.

one.

I have a Jack LaLane that I picked up at a yard sale for $15

practically brand new. The only thing that you really need to take

time cleaning is the basket which you have to use a brush on. The

juicer came with a brush. I wouldn't say it takes that long but I

would rather just eat the fruit whole instead of mess with the

juicer. It does get quite a bit of the juice out. Kim

Dobby:

go to ebay and bid on a Champion! You can most often, if you are

diligent, and with some luck, get one for around $100.

There is really little point in getting a cheaper one, as I see it.

I still have a Braun sitting on the shelf -- that is, by me, one of the

top of the line centifugal juicers, but... there is no comparison...

there is the champion, and there is the Green Star. the Green Star

rarely comes available for cheap, like the Champion does (no clue why).

I am not ready to toss my Champion anytime soon.... you can buy one

from the 70s (like the one I got last spring) and the replacement

parts the company offers, and any replacement parts you find on sale

online will work with it. (that's one cool company)

I mean, if you can get a Twin Star cheaper, get that one, otherwise,

if you are planning to make juices of any sort or " ice creams " from

frozen fruit, the Champion is the way to go.

For " our " needs, as raw foodists, a centrifugal juicer just won't be

worth it in the long run (i.e., my Champion has been going since the

mid-70s-- somebody died and I got it on ebay!)

I just went on ebay and saw one just like mine(even same color) for

(right now) under $100. there were others for different prices. If

you decide to do ebay, look at what they are asking for in shipping,

and figure that into your top price... what would you be willing to

pay for that Champion in your house?

The one that looks like mine right now has a $49 shipping price. High,

but the current bid is somewhere around $40. Were I to bid on my

machine's twin, I would definitely go as high as $120 (thinking about

that shipping, that would make me bid maybe $80.

then I would sit around and wait to see what happened bid-wise and

make my decisions....

You can always bid for another one.... Judy has told me that she has

gotten several Champions for under $100.

aha! Yes. I actually wrote to the company to ask them about that.

they said that the works are the same. as in... if you get a champion,

you get a champion. It is a work-horse.

It is not the same thing you might see in a juice bar, but it is that

same champion that you will see anywhere. At least, that is what they

told me when I asked them.

If it's price your not concerned about then quality is the only thing

left. Grant both come hand n hand. But out of all the messages I

lQQked over, depends on your homework on the juicer-is your favorite.

We just got a norwalk. Ordered it because our puppy had cancer....but

it didn't come in time to help him. It makes the best juice that we

have ever tasted. The price tag seems high, but it has a 12 year

guarantee, is easy to clean, and the juice lasts. I was using my

parent's greenstar, which was also very good, but the Norwalk juice

tastes better.

I have a Jack LeLane Juicer and I LOOOOVE it. I'm new to RF so I

haven't tried to do things like wheat grass, but it does a really

good job of all of the fruits and veggies I've tried. It extracts a

ton of juice, so the pulp is very dry and can be used in other

recipes. The only downside? The feeder hole isn't as big as they

say, so you have to quarter apples, and you MUST cut the rind off of

all oranges and the like.

 

Hope this helps.

 

If you have other questions, you can always email me privately.

Juicer is a great idea. Not sure about the B & D Model.

If you are not planning to use it daily it will probably be fine.

 

From experience if you juice a 1 Pound bag of carrots it will yield

about 2 cups of juice.

 

Juicing is great you do not get the moldy oranges like they use in

commercial juices.

Plus raw fruit and veggie juices taste so good.

 

Also you will want to filter the juice after if you do not like lots of

pulp.

 

Good Luck

[Guest guest]

We got the Jack LaLanne one & got a very good price on ebay. It's

easy to clean and makes great juice. It's funny how the fresh real

juice looks and tastes nothing like the store-bought ones. I can't

buy tomato juice anymore.

 

Peace,

I love the Jack LaLanne juicer, our sweetie pie member Ginger gave it to me via

It works like a charm.  I make juice everyday and take to my Mom.

Hi everybody,

 

 

 

I'm thinking about getting a juicer but don't want to spend a lot on one. I

really prefer to use whole foods in a blender but would like the option of

juicing for a few days once and a while. I could use the blender and a nut

bag but am not sure if the blender would handle carrots and such (would

it?). So anyway...... I was looking at a Juiceman Jr. that is on sale.

Does anyone know if they are any good?

 

 

 

Thanks,
