Juicers

[Pam]

Nope, never used one.

Well now thats no help to me is it

Fish where are you! You must have used a juicer before. Get your butt back here!

Yup, I've got three of them, maybe four.

I assume you are talking veggie juicer, not citrus.

First got a small one years ago.

Then got a Juiceman, or two.

Then got the attachment that goes with my Kitchen Aide food processor.

The Juiceman is OK. Easy to clean.

The food processor is OK. Not so easy to clean.

For the money the Jack L model looks good.

What one wants is convenience. The Jack L has a bigger feed tube so there is less prep work.

If you want to get into it, consider whether you are going to do flax and wheat grass, etc. If so, you have to go upscale. Way upscale.

If just veggie juice, look for continuous juice flow and automatic ejection of the pulp.

But there is no waste. Either you have stuff for inclusion in your baking, or you have almost pre composted stuff for your garden.

It is worth having if you do no more than carrots.

but if you have any GI problems, cabbage juice will fix you up. People with Ulcerative Colitis can benefit from Cabbage juice.

Here is a pretty good article.

I knew you'd come through for me fish. I was actually looking for one that did both veggie and citrus. The Jack L one looked really nice...saw it on a infomercial. I didnt want to spend money on one until I got a bit more info on them. Was talking to my mom about them and apparently they have one they dont use. So I'm going to try out theirs first and see if I like it and will use one.

Thanks fish!
