Steroids Done Right

With a lot of juicers available in the shops and stores, deciding on one can be quite confusing. I initially became interested in the benefits of juicing when I purchased a Jack Lalanne Juicer. Many people often buy a machine that is unsuitable for their requirements.

It is important to first realize the reason for buying a machine and then go ahead looking for one. As fruit and vegetable juicing machines are different from wheatgrass juicers it is advisable to know the differences. Before going out and making a purchase, making a list of features you desire is a useful exercise.

There are many different power juicers available in the shops. Types available such as a centrifugal juicer, twin gear juicer and masticating juicer can make the whole process of choosing quite difficult and often confusing. By far the most common and most affordable are the centrifugal appliances.

Centrifugal juicers work at a very high speed and are very effective at processing fruit and vegetables. They are, however, unsuitable for foods like spinach, wheatgrass and lettuce. They also let some of the fruit juice go to waste and to prevent this, single blade or twin blade juicers must be used. For these varieties, special kinds of juicers are available. The Miracle-mj 500 electric juicer is one of the types widely available in the shops today. They contain no aluminium parts, are easy to assemble, disassemble and operate and are usually cheaper. With Masticating machines, the low speed units help produce high quality juice as a result of reduced oxidation.

It is important to check the warranty on offer before buying your juicer. A warranty of 5 to 10 years is usually available on most quality juicers. It is also advisable to check the blades before purchase as they will frequently require replacing after two to four months of normal use. Take a look at the yield of the appliance. This should give you an idea of the output and efficiency. The juicer should give more juice and a lot less less waste. I would suggest looking for an appliance with a power output of around four hundred and twenty watts. Higher powered motors produce more heat which damages the juice by oxidation.

A branded machine such as the Jack Lalanne Power Fruit Juicer is often a better investment than a non branded machine. The reason is that replacement parts are more readily avaialble and often a lot cheaper.

Other than making fruit and vegetable juicers, many more modern machines can be used for different functions. Surprisingly, they can be used to make many products including ice cream, nut butters and pasta. The modern juicer is truly a versatile machine.
