Hey grubbers! Anyone out there have a juicer machine? Also, any good juice recipes?
I have a juicer and I think it's great!
I put all sorts of stuff in it such as oranges, carrots, maybe a lime or lemon (keeps the juice from turning brown), and more.
Excellent! What is the brand? Ease of cleaning?
It sucks to clean but it's worth the slight mess.
I would like a juicer in the future, but for now other kitchen appliances have taken priority. I do have a simple hand juicer which I can use to get lime juice for making salsa, lemon juice for making iced tea or orange juice for a pultry glaze, but it is not very ifficient. It gets the job done, but it does not seperate out seeds, or pulp, it does not express the maximum amount of juice from a single piece of fruit and it only works on truly juicy fruits. Then again, it cost maybe two dollars and it is very small and simple. It is a sinple fat short handle with a pointed tapered end with ridges running the length of the implament. You simply stab a half of an orange or lemon in the center, turn it upside down over a bowl, twist the handle in circles while firmly squeezing the rind around the point of the instrument and then pick any seeds that may have fallen into the dish of juice out. As for recepies I would reccomend juice coctails, juice blends as a base for a smoothy and using the fresh fruit juice in a home ice cream making system. Surprisingly we have one of those, but no juicer. lol Go figgure.
I didn't like my hand juicer that much.
Yum. Fresh orange juce is the best. We get a tun of oranges from this one comunity with all these orange trees that nobody is using and make orange juce. They also have grapefruit.
I like to put carrots and oranges in my juicer...what a good combo!
