this weeks appliance: THE BLENDER, a poor man's juicer?

[Guest guest]

I was just thinking that instead of going out and spending mega bucks

to buy a juicer why not use a blender and some cheese cloth? Has any

heard of this method much less tried to do this?

[Guest guest]

you can do this but you will not be able to extract as

much juice since a blender is made for blending not juicing

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest guest]

I got my Champion on eBay for something like $90, including shipping. I

can't remember the last time I used it so it really isn't something

that's necessary for eating raw.

Blending allows us to have the fiber.. Which I feel is important. My blender

has died.. I need a new one.. I can not afford the 300.00 for a fancy juicer. My

juicer is a cheap cintrifugal (sp?) kind...

Is there a model number that shouldn't be considered if you are buying an older

model like from ebay?? I see them there but wonder if they truely work well or

if that particular model will do what I am looking for... suggestions??

You are right Tommie - you don't need one to be raw - but it certainly helps

you with variety

and I need the variety.

Hi, Judy! Do you use the pulp in recipes? I don't juice because I eat

foods whole except for the ones that need peeling.

The basic design is the same as it's ever been from what I can tell.

Just make sure it is in good working condition. They work well for

juicing, masticating, and making frozen banana ice cream.

I'm so glad that you use it, Judy! You're right--if it's separated,

you might miss something you need. It wouldn't work for me to make

flax crackers with the pulp because the crackers don't get eaten.

They don't do me any good on the outside. Of course, I've never tried

rubbing them on my body. I'm curious, though. If you mix it back

together, why don't you just blend it to begin with? My blender is

easier to clean than the Champion.

No, I don't want to sell it. It's like a torque wrench. You might

not need it often but it's nice to have if you do.

Some of the older models don't have the safety feature where it won't start

unless it is assembled. Mine is an older model, and it will start if it only

has the blade on it! I just leave it unplugged until it is fully assembled

and then unplug it when I'm done before taking it apart. I'm in the habit of

doing that now so it's no big deal anymore, but it's something to think

about before buying one.

have you tried www.freecycle.com? there seems to be groups everywhere

and

you just sign up with the ones in your area. you can post things you

want to get rid of...and you can post things that you need/want.

I've seen people give away juicers, dehydrators and such on the

freecycle groups that I belong to.

I lend another testimony for the freecycle groups, they also provide the

opportunity to really help so many (I found out that a local girls school takes

gowns for prom dresses for the underprivileged and books are gladly accepted

to raise money for charity). Just another bend on it.

I recomend it to anyone who has a few things to get rid of but dont want to just

toss in the trash. The main reason freecycle was started was to keep things out

of the land fills...and you would be amazed at the invetiveness of some people

to use your old things to make new things....

 

Give it a try!
