A juicer, more commonly known as a juicer machine, is a device used to rapidly and easily extract juice from various fruits, leafy green plants, herbs and other forms of organic foods in a procedure known as juicing. It crushes, grinds, or squeezes out the juice from the pulp without the aid of water. The juice is usually prepared for consumption on the spot or later taken out of its container by drinking. There are several types of juicers. Some are manual and have a chute to pour the juice while others have a collection bowl and a pulley system that allow for the easy extraction of juice. The manual juicer may be more economical but also consumes more time as all the tools need to be powered manually.
One of the most basic juicers has a large rectangular glass fruit juicer with a large spinning blade at the top. The innermost part of this article unit has a storage bag which allows you to press down on the fruit pulp to extract it quickly and easily. As the blades spin, they crush and break up the fiber which is in the juicer. The outermost layer of the blade is covered with a piece of raw cardboard which absorbs all the juices as it passes by. These types of juicers are inexpensive, but not very practical for home use unless you intend to make juice pulp.
Some juicers have trays on the bottom where you can put vegetables or fruits and then put the juicer into the juice pan and gently swirl around to mix the ingredients. These trays are useful for people who want to juice but do not have a juicer or for those who live in apartments where the kitchen is too small to accommodate a juicer. However, they take up more room than the wooden or metal basins which are the usual fruit and vegetable juicer accessories. And you have to be careful with such trays, since they can easily warp if the contents are not thoroughly mixed.
A blender is another useful kitchen appliance for juicers. They come in various shapes and designs and there is likely to be one that will suit your requirements. Blenders are used for grinding, mixing and blending, unlike juicers which are only used for juicing.
A juicer/blender combination is probably the safest appliance choice for juicers. However, like a hand blender, it is not very practical for home use unless you intend to make juice paste out of your produce. With a juicer/blender combination, you can extract juice by using the outer part to grind nuts and mixes them with the inner part which contains the vitamins and the minerals. There are some great recipes for this kind of juicer and with the correct recipes, your whole family can get their daily dose of vitamins and minerals from your juices!
Another important kitchen appliance that has to be mentioned in the same way as the first one, the juicer works with the pulp and the seeds from the fruits. The difference lies in the process of extraction. With a juicer, you extract the juice by pressing down on the pulp for several minutes and then pressing again until all the liquid is extracted. On the other hand, with a vitamix, all you need to do is press the button once and the machine will start the process. Since the taste of both these kinds of juicers is almost the same, you can choose the one that suits your taste and your budget better.
The last kitchen appliance we will discuss is the juicer/mill. This is the best choice if you want to make juice with freshly extracted juice or with fruits that are not damaged in the process of extracting juice from other fruits. It works by pressing the button once and it starts the process of extracting juice by quickly pressing the mills' blade against the fruits' surfaces.
There are many more types of juicer and all of them have their own advantages. For example, the hand juicer is very useful and very easy to use whereas the centrifugal juicer is more efficient and speedier in its operation. However, no matter which type of juicer you choose, you can enjoy the benefits of a healthy and natural fruit and vegetable juice. Do not forget to take your vitamins and supplements to ensure good health and fitness.
