Using Your Juicer

Using Your Juicer

When searching for a fruit and vegetable juicer, it is best to choose one that is going to give you the maximum amount of juice possible. A juicer that will eject the pulp outside the juicing machine will give less juice than the juicers that will keep the pulp in the basket. Certain people prefer to have pulp free juice, so this may also be something to think about when purchasing your fruit and vegetable juicer. The recommended home juicing machine has a motor rating of 450 watts. If you have a more powerful juicer, the heat from the juicer will damage the nutrients in the fruits or vegetables. If you have a less powerful juicer, the motor will want to work too hard and eventually it will break down.

You should use your fruit and vegetable juicer on a hard, flat surface. The plastic or rubber legs of your juicer should be planted firmly on the counter. In doing this, you will reduce any vibration which in return, will extend your juicer’s life. You should make sure that all the parts fit together snugly and properly, and you haven’t left anything out. Be sure to keep your fruit and vegetable juicer unplugged until you are ready to start juicing.

To clean your fruit and vegetable juicer, you should start by first cleaning the blades under warm running water. You should use a brush to remove the particles from the basket. You may be able to wash the removable parts in your dishwasher if your fruit and vegetable juicer manual approves. Dry all parts before putting the juicer back together.
