Juicer Guide
Many believe they can gain more energy, become healthier, lose weight and stay in shape by supplementing their diet with freshly made fruit and vegetable juices.
Juicing benefits are easier to realize now with the machines developed for home use. These juice extractors are affordable and available almost everywhere that sells small kitchen appliances.
However, the features that make a juicer convenient and easy to use vary and are not available on every brand. Therefore knowing what features are important to you will help you select the right juicer.
If you think you will be juicing everyday, then you should consider a juicer that’s easiest to clean. The Breville Juice Fountain Compact is one such juicer designed to make cleaning easy. Assembling and disassembling parts should not be difficult or require tools. Parts should be dishwasher safe.
Juicer extractors must also be safe to operate. The cover to the area just above the sharp blades must be held securely in place while the machine is on. Breville juicers such as the Elite, prevents the machine from starting unless its locking arm is completely snapped into notches.
Extracting every drop of juice from fruits or vegetables is possible with the right features and technique. The pulp should feel dry or not too wet. Look for juice extractors like the Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor that uses a stainless steel micromesh filter and has five speeds to adjust for the softness or hardness of the food – a juicer will extract more juice from softer foods at slower speeds and more juice from harder foods at higher speeds.
