Juicer is the vessel through which one can achieve fresh-squeezed bliss.
With the right balance of ingredients, a juicer can crush, grind, or squeeze fresh fruits and vegetables to create a morning cup bursting with unique flavors and your favored consistency—whether you prefer a silky nectar or a pulpy refreshment.
Step 1: Befriend your juicer
Various types of juicers exist, including a slow juicer that compresses and crushes fruits for pulp-heavy juicing, cold-press juicers for nutrient-dense sips, and fountain juicers that deliver large batches of extract quickly.
Alas, the first step to creating a delicious cup of citrus juice is assembling your juicer. While the construction of a citrus juicer is fairly simple, more complex models like fountain juicers may include several components, including juice collectors, filter baskets, and jugs.
Most often, assembling your citrus juicer will feel intuitive. However, most models come with instructions to guide you through the juicing process.
Juicy Tips: Juicers can further be simplified into two overarching types: a centrifugal juicer and a masticating juicer. A centrifugal juicer utilizes spinning blades and a fine filter to dice and strain fruit and vegetable juice from the pulp quickly. Unlike centrifugal juicers, a masticating juicer slowly compresses fruit and other produce and is optimal when juicing leafy greens for that healthy yet delicious green juice.
Step 2: Clean the slate
Once you’ve filled your jars, pitchers, or sippy cups, open the juicer’s chamber using a toggle that’s often found on the side of the appliance. Remove any juicer pulp, then discard. Or, alternatively you can find another use for this pulp gold:
● Add it to an ice tray for a frozen treat
● Use juice pulp to make a tasty dehydrated treat or air fried chip snack
● Depending on the juice recipe, you can use the leftover pulp to add to your meal, say a soup, stew, or sauce
● Add leftover pulp to pancakes to sneak in even more fruits and vegetables to your kids’ morning breakfast
● Or, dispose of it in a compost bin
Conclusion
Despite their drawbacks, these are very popular juicers. They work well for people that want to make a quick juice that they will drink right away, don’t really want to juice a lot of greens and prefer fruit juices, and don’t mind how loud they are when being used.
