Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I am seriously considering buying a veggie juicer, but reading reviews has made me cross eyed! Anybody own one? Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Tried once gave it away, tried twice gave it away too. No more juicers for me. I just don't click with them. I do love the crockpot, hand held blender, mandolin, pressure cooker and my steamers. I might be the odd one though. I can't stand the dishwasher and don't use it, got rid of the monster Kitchen-Aid mixure I used 2 twice and I don't like the electric can opener.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I did and I got rid of it, too much hassle. At first I was all into it, then later, ughhh just work. the ones that would really suit me are too expensive. what got me is that well first of all I would need one that you didn't have to clean out after every apple or so, and one that you can put the fruit in whole without having to chop it first. blessings, Chanda - Sue Friday, October 13, 2006 10:39 PM Anybody use a juicer?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 wow, I use the dishwasher, but not that much, never use an electric can opener, gave my juicer away, love my crockpot, want a pressure cooker, want steamers, LOL, and isn't a mandolin a musical instrument? big hugs, Chanda - Donnalilacflower Friday, October 13, 2006 10:49 PM Re: Anybody use a juicer?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 wow! You sound just like me!! Although, I might use the dishwasher, if it worked better.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I got one of the juicers you can put fruit & veggies in whole, used it for a week or so. They take up the space of a mixer pretty much. What a pain to clean the thing, especially the screen inside! And I really don't want to make " roughage " muffins and bread everyday, so I had lots of plant fiber to compost. It winds up very expensive juice too. I'd rather eat the fruit or veggies. BTW, drinking all that fresh juice didn't do a thing for me either. I felt zero difference, sorry Jack La Lane!! I haven't used my dishwasher for anything but a drying rack or storage in the 7 years I've had my house. The only reason I bought electric " stuff " like jar & can opener, knife, stick mixer, etc. was because I had to...I've had 2 surgeries on my right arm and it's kinda not working too well. They just clutter up the place and I can't wait to be able to sell them at a garage sale!! The only electric kitchen appliance I truly love is my breadmaker!!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I got rid of my bread machine, because when I made bred they whined that I did not get it from our local Italian deli ( sigh) I forgot one appliance I do use a lot, that is my mega food processor. My old one broke, so I got a new one that you can put the veggies in whole, and it is big for pureeing more soup at once . hugs, Chanda - jandor9 Saturday, October 14, 2006 8:19 AM Re: Anybody use a juicer?

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Never had a juicer, I use my dishwasher, would love a mixer of any kind, used to have a pasta maker, and a crock pot don't have either anymore. gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I forgot I also don't have a food processor would like to get one of these some day also. My daughter and I do all our mixing and chopping by hand when we bake and cook. gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I have had two juicers- waaaay back in the 80's (first one) and 90's (second one). Two different types. I think I used the first one maybe once, and the second maybe 3 or 4 times. Years ago, when I lived in a big city, there was a guy who was homeless (I think, based on how he looked) who was going door to door trying to sell stuff. I looked at him while he tried to pitch his wares to me-- none of which I wanted; so I told him so. Then I told him " but I have something you can have, that someone else may want to buy. " and I gave him the juicer! He was beaming! Made his day; and got it off my counter!! lol. I have had the same food processor since 1986; it was a wedding present. Love it! But I don't typically use it for chopping anymore... it's most frequent use is when I make hummus (which is weekly, at least) or black bean dip, or some such. If it had a larger shoot, I probably would use it more for slicing and chopping, but anything that goes down the shoot has to be cut small enough to fit, so it is just not worth it for me, for that. Yes, I have recently seen the large shoot type....and have considered it...but need to figure out where it will " live " once I bring it home!! The pressure cooker doesn't have a home yet--- my housemate (it's *his* house) would have a fit, if I brought something else home right now!!! LOL.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Judy, I do all my juicing in my Vitamix!! You can get more vitamins using the peels on a lot of the fruits and vegetables, and you can use the zest of the oranges.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 <I am seriously considering buying a veggie juicer, but reading reviews has made me cross eyed! Anybody own one? > HI Sue- I own a juicer- one of the bigger ones- It's a Champion. It works amazing- is easy to clean and can even homogenize fruits and nuts to make butters- and makes the best vegan " ice cream " in the world by running frozen fruit through it. Its pricey though- I think around $250 or $300 if I recall correctly. I am happy I bought this work horse of a machine. It will last me forever!
