Everyone knows that natural juice contains more vitamins than what is sold in stores. The manufacturer can write anything on the packaging, but whether it will be true is unknown. Therefore, it is better to purchase a juicer. Squeezed juice at home allows you to know for sure that it does not contain foreign components and is safe for consumption.
The juicer is also very convenient because you can make fruit or vegetable fresh juice in it. Families with small children will need it especially urgently. After all, many children do not eat some healthy vegetables, and they will not be visible in the fresh juice..
Features and Benefits
There are two main purposes of juicers, each of which has its own characteristics..
Citrus
Designed for squeezing citrus fruits only. Such a juicer has a compact size, which allows it to be placed in a small kitchen. It consumes little electricity, and its cost is much less than a universal squeezer.
Consider the features and nuances of work:
- mechanical – this is the simplest and cheapest juicer, juice from which is squeezed out by hand. But it requires tremendous physical strength in order to squeeze all the juice from the fruit.
- press – the fruit is crushed using a press.
- electric – very convenient and fast juicer. The whole process is automated, and therefore does not require additional force and does not take much time. You don’t have to use physical force to get a fruit or berry drink.
Universal
It squeezes out all types of fruits and vegetables equally well. It costs more than citrus, but it is possible for it to squeeze the juice from nuts, herbs and cereals..
Classification of universal lighters:
- centrifugal is designed to obtain a large amount of juice. But it does not have the function of automatically discarding dry cake. You will need to clean the device yourself. Therefore, this type is not suitable for use in a large family, because you will have to disassemble the device very often to peel.
- The conical separator allows for the separation and disposal of the cake into a separate container. This type of juicing device is ideal for frequent use. Leftover fruits and vegetables after use are simply thrown out of the container..
- auger is a device that resembles a meat grinder in the way it works. The fruit is loaded into a tray, from where it falls onto the auger screw. This screw grinds the fruit and its juice emerges from one hole, and the peel and pulp are sent to another compartment..
The auger juicer consumes little energy and squeezes out almost all the juice from the fruit. It works quietly, which cannot be said about other types of juicers.
Which is better: a juicer, juicer, or food processor?
Juice cooker
This is a device with which you can brew juice. There are two types of juicers: electric and with an external heating source. Both types work equally well. With the help of steam, the device evaporates all the liquid from the fruit.
The juicer consists of several parts, which are located one above the other. Water is poured into the lower pan and placed on the stove. When the water boils, a container is placed on it with a special tube through which the juice will flow. A colander with fruit is placed on the very top and everything is fixed with a lid..
In stores you can buy a juicer of any size. It has two sections: one for water, the other for berries or fruits..
The advantage of the juicer is that freshly brewed juice can be preserved. Such a product will not deteriorate and, unlike freshly squeezed juice, will stand for a long time..
The juicer is easy to use and easy to clean. The only drawback is the long cooking process (more than an hour). In addition, it weighs a lot and takes up a certain amount of space..
Food processor
This is a multifunctional unit that includes a grater, a chopping device, a kneader, a whisk and, of course, a juicer. It can replace many kitchen appliances, and therefore has a rather large size. The device is powered by electricity and is turned on using a special button.
There are models equipped with two replaceable juicing attachments. This is a citrus and versatile bait.
For a large kitchen, a food processor can be a good helper in food preparation. It is designed for everything: kneading dough, making puree, chopping food, whipping cream and grinding cereals. It also has a shredding function..
Juicer
This is a device that allows you to squeeze juice from fruits, vegetables and berries. It is intended for short-term storage of the resulting product and household use involves a small amount of squeezed liquid..
All three devices have their pros and cons, so when buying, you need to clearly understand why this device is being purchased.
A compact juicer is suitable for a small kitchen, but its functions are limited..
A juicer is suitable for long-term storage of food. Juice cans will last for a long time and will delight with their taste in winter. For giving, a juicer can be the ideal solution for canning.
For raw foodists and food lovers, a food processor is ideal. It can be used to chop raw vegetables for salad or prepare berry puree..
