Connoisseurs of homemade preparations are looking forward to the harvest season. But it often becomes difficult for housewives to process large volumes of vegetables and fruits in a short time. After all, you need to prepare not only jams and salads, but also juices.

Juice cookers are also used to obtain juice. At the same time, freshly squeezed juices undoubtedly contain much more useful substances in their composition than those “extracted” using a juicer.

However, if we compare store-bought packaged juices, which are rich in preservatives and carcinogens, then juice prepared at home will be several times healthier.

The principle of operation of the device is not complicated - vegetables or fruits are exposed to steam at a temperature of 70 degrees, while all vitamins and other useful substances are preserved. When squeezing a drink in a juicer with cake, a large proportion of the nutrients are lost, and during the pasteurization process they remain in it.

Another undeniable advantage of using a juicer is the ability to prepare juice for future use. After all, freshly squeezed juice cannot be stored for a long time; it will spoil and lose its properties. Juice from a juicer, even without preservation, can stand and remain useful for several days.

Housewives also note in their reviews the beneficial waste-free processing, because steamed fruits and berries are used for other preparations - preserves, confitures, dressings. When preparing juices, you can use various multi-fruit mixtures to diversify the taste of the finished drink. And you will get much better juice than they sell in the store.

Juice cooker equipment

Juice cookers consist of 4 elements:

lower water tank;
juice collection tank;
a container for vegetables or fruits with holes, similar to a colander;
lid that closes hermetically.

The walls and bottom of the lower compartment should be thick and multi-layered. Only in this case will the heat be ideally distributed throughout the entire device and the quality of the juice will increase significantly.

The lid of good juice cooker models is made of tempered glass. It should have holes through which excess steam escapes during operation.

To release juice, juice cookers are equipped with a tube made of a special material that is resistant to high temperatures.

The process of assembling the various elements of the device is very simple, and maintenance is even simpler. After use, you only need to rinse the juicer manually or load it into.

How to use the device correctly

In order to prepare juice using a juicer, you need:

rinse the food and place it in the upper compartment of the device;
pour water into the lower compartment (in reviews they are called “saucepans”) along the measuring line;
put on low heat and after 1 hour enjoy the prepared juice.

Before using the device for the first time, all its components must be washed thoroughly using dishwashing detergent. It is recommended to boil the juice outlet tube to prevent bacteria from entering the finished product.

Attention! There is no need to boil the juice additionally for canning. You can immediately place a sterilized jar near the juice cooker and roll it up as it is filled.

Which material is better

The quality of the device directly depends on its material of manufacture. Juice cookers made of aluminum and stainless steel are available for sale. Each material has its pros and cons, which we will consider.

Stainless steel is resistant to scratches and rust, has good heat dissipation and does not react with acidic and alkaline environments. At the same time, nickel (for shine), chromium (anti-corrosion properties) and several other types of other raw materials are added to the material, which improve the wear resistance of the device.

Advice. When choosing a stainless steel juicer, you will have the option of deglazing—cooking sauces in a container to collect the juice.

Aluminum juice cookers are characterized by their low price and fast heating of water, but are susceptible to mechanical damage. To prevent the metal from bending and oxidizing over time, you need to choose devices made of anodized (more durable and high-quality) aluminum.

Attention! Aluminum juice cookers cannot be used on induction cookers.

Volume. This indicator depends on the number of potential consumers of the finished product and on the kilograms of raw materials requiring processing. Devices from 5 to 10 liters are sold.
Material – stainless steel or aluminum. We have discussed all the advantages and disadvantages of different types of material above.
Nutrition. Steam juice cookers are often sold that require heating on a gas or electric stove. Rarely - electrical appliances powered from a 220 V network.
Presence of a temperature sensor. With its help you can determine the preparation time of the juice.
Manufacturer. The simple design of the device does not require special technological capabilities at the enterprise. Pay attention to the material - it is anodized aluminum (in most domestic models) or stainless steel (mostly imported).

Which model to choose

In order for you to better understand the range of products offered, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the list of the best juice cooker models based on user reviews:

How to make apple juice in a juicer: video

Summer is the time to stockpile various edible supplies for the winter. Many people cannot imagine winter without pickled cucumbers and tomatoes (“their own, from the garden”) and other pickles. Prepared in summer and autumn for future use and juice. From fruits that grew in the garden or were bought in a store or market. To do this, you can use a juicer. But most of the household models presented in stores are not designed for processing “industrial” harvest volumes. They are an excellent option for preparing a glass or two of fresh juice at any time for family or friends, so that they can immediately drink this juice (fresh, as you know, needs to be drunk quickly; after 20 minutes it already loses most of its beneficial properties) . For large volumes of juice that will be used for preservation, it is better to use other devices - juice cookers. This material contains details about them.

What is a juicer?

A device for making juices naturally. Juice cookers are now of two types: electric and those that need an external heating source (usually they are placed on a stove or hob). However, the latter are more common. The principle of operation, however, is the same for both juice cookers. It is based on the effect of steam on fruits and evaporation of juice from them.

A juice cooker, as a rule, is a set of several containers located one above the other. Water is poured into the lowest container, the container is placed on the stove and the water is brought to a boil. After this, a container is placed on it to accumulate juice (this container has a special tube with a clamp to drain the juice), a colander with food is placed on top of it and closed with a lid. The principle of operation is similar to that of a double boiler - water is heated, turns into steam, which passes through the food, absorbs juice and accumulates (condenses) in the second pan from the bottom. An electric juicer differs from a regular one, essentially, only in the presence of an electric heater as an element of the juicer. There are electric saucepans on sale that, by purchasing a special container attachment, can be used as juice cookers.

Juice cookers come in different capacities. From 4 to 20 l. At the same time, when purchasing in a store, always clarify what is meant - the capacity of the container for the finished juice or the basket (colander) for fruit. There is sometimes confusion with these indicators. For example, an electric juicer has a four-liter juice container and a fruit basket with a capacity of up to 10 liters. It is advisable to purchase juice cookers made of high-quality stainless steel. If you have an induction hob, it’s better to check whether the juice cooker is suitable for use with it in “symbiosis”.

What's better?

In addition to the fact that the juicer is capable of processing much more fruit at a time, it can also juice from them (and not only that, you can use it, for example, to make marmalade or jelly) than a juicer, it also has other advantages. One of the main things in the aspect of canning (we are talking about it) is the ability to immediately roll the finished juice into jars and other suitable containers (properly prepared, of course). After the juicer, the juice must still be boiled and sterilized. But in the case of a juicer, no. In addition, since the fruits in the juicer undergo a rather gentle steam treatment, more useful substances are retained in the juice (in the juice from the juicer they are killed during the sterilization process). And in general, if the juice from a juicer quickly oxidizes and deteriorates (plus it is deprived of useful substances), then the juice from a juicer, even without canning, can be stored in the refrigerator for about another week.

Further. Juice prepared in a juicer, as a rule, turns out sweeter than juice from a juicer, and we are not talking about adding sugar (although if the fruits or berries are sour, you can put sugar in a colander with them - the juice will be sweet). The fruit pulp remaining in the basket can be used to prepare fruit purees and marmalades. Although a juicer prepares juice slower than a juicer (it takes from 45 minutes to 2 hours per batch of fruit, depending on the quantity of the latter), the preparation process is simpler for the user. I loaded the juicer with the right amount of fruit, and no more problems - no need to constantly add them. The juicer does not make noise during operation. It is easier to clean a juicer after use than a juicer. In addition, a juice cooker can easily replace a steamer - you can steam various dishes in it. As you can see, juice cookers have a decent set of positive qualities.

The only noticeable disadvantage of the juice cooker is its size. Of course, it usually takes up more space than a household juicer. Capacious juice cookers naturally weigh more. But, in general, that's all. The prices of many juice makers are quite comparable to the prices of juicers. Although there are more expensive juice cookers, both “regular” and electric. For processing large volumes of food and preparing juice from them, a juicer is definitely the most suitable option.

The yield percentage of the finished juice when preparing it in a juicer is 50-80% (depending on what fruits or vegetables the juice is made from). You usually get more juice from berries than juice from fruits or vegetables.

Parade of juicers

Next is a short review of juice makers available for purchase in Russia. the site included juice cookers of various sizes, types (“simple” and electric), prices, produced in the Russian Federation and abroad. The most affordable juice cookers, quite suitable for preparing various juices, are models from the Kalitva brand. So, a juice cooker will cost about 1.1 thousand rubles*. The total volume of this juice cooker made in Russia is 6 liters. Delivery set: water container for ready-made juice, colander for fruits and vegetables, lid, outlet tube with clamp. During the preparation of juice, at least 3 liters of water is poured into the water container. Please note that the Kalitva juice cookers (both this one and the 8-liter model, which costs about 1.3 thousand rubles) are made from food-grade aluminum. They are suitable for juicing on a gas or electric stove, but not on an induction stove.

Next is an eight-liter juice cooker (China). It is already made of stainless steel. This means that it is also suitable for cooking juice using an induction hob. The delivery set is traditional: a water container for ready-made juice, a colander for fruits and vegetables, a flexible rubber outlet tube with a clamp, a glass lid. The Webber BE-08 juice cooker will cost about 2 thousand rubles. The six-liter model costs 1.8 thousand rubles.

The next juicer is a small one (China). The total volume here is 5 liters. It is also made of “stainless steel” (chromium-nickel steel grade 18/10). The water pan has a thickened six-layer bottom, patented, by the way. The manufacturer is very proud of it. The point is that these are layers made of different materials (metals). Layers of metals with high thermal conductivity (copper, aluminum) are combined with layers with lower thermal conductivity (steel). Heat quickly passes through the heat-conducting layers and is evenly distributed along the bottom of the juicer, thanks to its penetration into the steel layers. The bottom heats up both in the center and along the edges - evenly and quickly. In addition, there is no recess on the bottom that protects the utensils from deformation due to high temperatures (no precisely because of the bottom described above - heat-conducting metals ensure that the bottom expands equally in all directions when heated, the danger of deformation is neutralized). Otherwise, this juice cooker is structurally no different from its “friends” juice cookers. The cost of Bohmann BH 3205 is about 2 thousand rubles.

The next unit will cost 10-12 thousand rubles. This is a juice cooker with a total capacity of 15.4 liters. It is also made of high quality stainless steel. Suitable for any slabs. There is also a thermal storage bottom, which reduces energy consumption when heating water. The delivery package is quite traditional. Note the metal lid with a pressure valve (under pressure the juice is released faster, the efficiency of the juicer is better), a juice supply tube and a bracket. The connection between the handles and the pan is riveting. Stainless steel handles with blue silicone inserts do not burn your hands. The Berghoff company is positioned in our country as Belgian, but there are concerns that this is not entirely true. Or rather, not at all like that. In fact, the company is only registered in Belgium. All production in China. But made in China is no longer synonymous with low quality.

Finally, an electric juicer. Maximum power - 1500 W. Juice container 4 liters. The fruit colander holds up to 10 liters. The body is metal, covered with 2 layers of acid-resistant enamel. Here everything happens the same as with “ordinary” colleagues. Water is also poured into a container intended for this purpose, fruits are also placed and the result is juice, which is fed through a special tube into a vessel prepared for this purpose. Only you don’t need to put the juicer on the stove - it plugs into an outlet. The cost is about 5 thousand rubles. The brand is positioned as German.

. Before first use, the juicer should be washed with hot water and the rubber parts should be boiled.
. While the juicer is operating, it is necessary to ensure that the water tank is not empty - otherwise the bottom may burn out and the juicer will become unusable.
. To avoid loss of juice, it is recommended to place a deep plate or basin under the bottle or jar where it will be drained.
. The containers to be filled with juice should be located below the drain hole in the juice collector.
. It is better to pour the juice from the first bottle or jar back into the juicer. It is advisable to sterilize the bottle or jar again, because fruits and berries, especially overripe ones, release insufficiently sterile juice at the beginning of the juice extraction process.
. To obtain sweet juice along with fruits or berries, pour sugar into a colander.
. The fruit or berry squeezes remaining after obtaining juice can be reused to obtain juice. To do this, add sugar to a colander and steam the pomace for about 30 minutes.
. When preparing juice from fruits with seeds, it is advisable to cut out spoiled areas, wash the fruit and crush it, first removing the peel.
. Fruits with seeds. Wash the fruit, remove the stems, remove the pits if desired, and lightly squeeze the juice from the pitted cherries.
. Rinse the berries in cold water, wait until the water drains, and remove the stems if desired.

Modern manufacturers of household appliances provide our choice with many types of equipment that greatly facilitate housework. Thus, juice cookers allow you to prepare large quantities of natural drinks from fruits and vegetables for the winter. This technique is interesting because it is easy to work with. And preparing juices in it does not take much time.

Juice cooker: reviews and methods of use

The principle of its operation is similar to a double boiler. Most often, the device is produced in the form of a container with 3 compartments. At the bottom there is a wide, not very high bowl. A container for the resulting juice is placed above. A “faucet” extends from it to drain the juice. It can be made in the form of a rubber or silicone hose. The very last one is a colander. Vegetables and fruits are placed on it.

First you need to determine in what case you should buy a juicer. This is due to the fact that a juicer can also be used to make juices. You definitely need to choose a juicer if you have a large family. A juicer, of course, allows you to prepare a drink in some cases in a few minutes. But it happens that its volume is limited. At the same time, juice cookers are produced even in a volume of 8-10 liters.

Another interesting feature of the juicer is that it allows you to make drinks for winter preparation. Juicers produce fresh juice, which is better to just drink. To prepare it for the winter, it will have to be boiled. However, such a drink will always contain pulp. The juicer works on a completely different principle. As a result, you will receive a pure concentrated extract without any inclusions. The juicer saves a lot of time. To create a winter preparation, you just need to pour the drink into sterile jars. The only negative with this juice is that it contains fewer vitamins than freshly squeezed juice.

Pros of a juicer:

Easy care - juicers consist of many parts. Therefore, they are inconvenient to wash. You can simply rinse the juice cooker. Due to its simple design, it will also last longer on the farm.
Juice quality - a drink prepared in a juicer is less oxidized. You don't need to drink it right away.
Use of waste - a juicer turns raw materials into pulp. Then using it somewhere else is problematic. Leftover apples or berries that were used to make juice in a juicer can be added to baked goods.

How to cook juice in a juicer?

Even a novice cook can handle the process of making juice. First you need to prepare vegetables, berries and fruits. The advantage of a juicer is that it allows you to prepare juice even from quince. It is necessary to wash the products, remove, if any, seeds and stalks. Also, rotten or deteriorated areas must be cut off. Place fruits or vegetables in the upper part of the colander. Pour water into the lowest wide bowl. It should occupy about 2/3 of the total volume. Then all parts of the juicer are installed inside. After this, we move on to the actual preparation. To do this, either place the juicer on the stove or plug the device into the mains.

The juicer works as follows. In the lower part of the device, in the bowl, when the water is heated, steam begins to form. It rises up and passes through pieces of berries or fruits. Then it “lowers” the juice into a medium container. Thus, over time, it begins to fill with concentrated liquid. The cooking time depends on the volume of the device and the type of raw material for the juice. After the juice is released, all that remains is to drain it. To do this, use a hose built into the middle part of the juicer.

As you can see, making juice is really very simple. It is worth remembering that for trouble-free cooking you need to be very careful when choosing a device.

Material - juice cookers are made from aluminum and stainless steel. Each of them has its own advantages. For example, an aluminum juice cooker is lightweight. However, such a device cannot be placed on an induction cooker. Stainless steel is more versatile. In addition, it is easy to wash. Even though aluminum cookware is cheaper, steel cookware still lasts longer in the kitchen. So if you plan to cook a lot, then you should choose a stainless steel juicer.

Juice cooker details - it is important to pay attention to the fit of the lid. It would be better if it was rubberized on the bottom. This way the steam won't escape. The lid can be made of glass. This will help you periodically monitor the condition of the products. The juice drainage hose can be rubber or silicone. The second option is preferable in terms of strength.

Type of juicer - they can be used for cooking on the stove. Dr. type of juice cookers - electric. To prepare juice, you just need to plug the device into a power outlet. This juicer is perfect for the garden.

Juice in a juicer for the winter: preparation method

To prepare apple juice, take an arbitrary number of sweet apples. It is better not to choose sour fruits. This juice will have a characteristic taste, which may cause stomach problems. Wash the apples, cut them into slices and remove the seeds. Place them on the top of the juicer with holes. We lay them out until they fill almost the entire volume of the device. Add about 2-2.5 liters of water to the lower bowl. If you want to make sweet juice, then sprinkle 70 g of chopped apples. Sahara.
Close the pressure cooker with the lid. We put it on the stove for about 1 hour. If the apples were hard, then increase the cooking time. You can tell if they are ready by their softness. After the time required for preparing the juice has passed, pour the drink through a hose into clean, sterilized jars. To prepare for the winter, immediately roll up the iron lids that have been left in boiling water.
To prepare grape juice, we take any grape variety. We wash it under running water and remove the wilted parts. We separate the berries from the bunch and place them in the upper bowl. There should be enough grapes to leave 5 cm to the top edge. Place about 70 grams on top. Sahara. If you choose the Isabella variety, you can double the amount of sugar. Pour about 3 liters into the lower bowl. Water. Close the juice cooker with a lid and put it on fire.
Bring the liquid in the device to a boil and reduce it. Evaporate the juice for 40 minutes. Then we pour it into jars in a well-known way and close them. If there are a lot of grapes, then you can do it differently. We boil the same amount of product not for 40 minutes, but for 3 hours. All this time, carefully add water as it evaporates. It is also necessary to periodically pour berries into the upper bowl. At the end, turn off the heat and let the berries stand for another 30 minutes. Then we pour the juice into jars and close them.

You will need

- Plug the juice cooker with electric heating into an outlet that has a voltage of 220 volts. But a juice cooker without electric heating is placed on a gas heating source.
When making stewed garden fruits, the juice cooker must be positioned exactly as indicated a little above, then place any garden fruits in the loading hopper and simmer over low heat for thirty or sixty minutes. During this time, the required amount of seasonings and salt should be added. During the cooking process, it is not permissible to open the lid too often, and also to constantly stir the garden fruits.

Instructions

2) When preparing juice in a juicer, there is no sediment left in it.
People usually think about a juicer in the fall, when you need to process the harvest.
Thanks to pasteurization, a special technology for creating drinks, preparing juice in a juicer allows you to preserve the aroma and taste of fruits, berries and vegetables, as well as all their beneficial properties, for a long time. As a result, we receive a medicinal and dietary product that can be stored for quite a long time. This drink is very useful for children and adults, healthy people and the sick. Natural juices, enriching our body with microelements and vitamins, help to significantly improve digestion, improve the functioning of blood vessels and the heart.
Read the instructions for use of your juicer to understand how it works. Typically this device consists of three “floors” of containers. Water is poured into the lower reservoir; steam enters the middle (juice receiver) from below and liquid flows from above; raw materials are placed in the upper (lattice) one. An important detail is the hose, which is attached to the tube at the middle level. It is through this that the finished drink is poured.
Freshly squeezed fruit, berry or vegetable juice is a real storehouse of vitamins and other useful substances. To prepare a glass or two of a delicious drink for lunch, all you need to do is have a modern juicer on hand. Processing a large harvest of fruits from a summer cottage is a completely different matter. A juice cooker will help here, with which you just need to pour the resulting juice into a sterile container - and the preparation for the winter is ready.

KakProsto.ru

As the water heats up, steam is formed at the bottom of the vessel. It rises towards the top, then enters the mesh, breaking the cells of the berries. This procedure assists in the production of pasteurized juice.

Steamed fish and meat are prepared this way.

Before initial use, the juicer must be thoroughly washed with hot water, but the rubber hose should be boiled.

There are several points of view, and from them you will already understand the truth:

In addition to the fact that a juicer has the ability to process a much larger number of fruits at a time and make juice from them (however, not only that, with its help it is possible, for example, to make marmalade or jelly) than a juicer, it also has other advantages . One of the main things in relation to canning (we are talking about it) is the permissibility of immediately rolling up the prepared juice into jars and other suitable vessels (of course, specially prepared for this purpose). After preparing the juice using a juicer, the juice must be boiled for some time and sterilized. But you shouldn’t do this with a juicer. In addition, due to the fact that fruits undergo a fairly mild steam treatment in a juicer, a significant number of beneficial components are retained in the juice (and in juice made in a juicer, most of them are lost during the sterilization process). Prepare popular juice mixes in a juicer, and roll in a juicer.

It is worth choosing a device made of high quality stainless steel.

3) Juice prepared in a juicer is suitable for rolling immediately; it does not need to be boiled or sterilized.

Juice cookers have been known since Soviet times and have not changed much since then. A juice cooker consists of several containers located one above the other.

In addition, the juice cooker can be used both as a simple steel pan and as a double boiler, and not just for cooking juice.

Juice cooker - the principle of operation of the juice cooker

Prepare fresh, selected fruits for juicing. Rinse them thoroughly and remove the seeds if necessary. The edible skin should not be removed - it contains a large amount of useful substances and has a special taste and aroma. Place the whole raw material in a wire pan, and cut large fruits or vegetables into slices.

juice cooker;

The juice flows into the casing through the holes in the mesh. The produced juice should not rise above the level of the mesh in the casing, since the fruit will absorb it again. It is necessary from time to time to release the clamp and pour the prepared juice into a hot sterile container to prevent this from happening. The total duration of boiling the juice is determined by the variety and lasts approximately twenty to sixty minutes from the moment the water boils.

How to cook juice in a juicer

You will definitely need to rinse the juicer with hot water immediately after using it; in addition, after the process of steaming meat or fish products, you should rinse it thoroughly to eliminate the unpleasant odor.

Getting juice

Leave the juice to boil until foam stops appearing... And at the same moment place it in a sterilized jar!

Pros of a juicer

And also, if the juice made using a juicer quickly deteriorates and oxidizes (and also loses its most beneficial components), while juice from a juicer, without preserving it, can be stored in the refrigerator for about a seven-day period.

Please note that the lid must fit tightly.

4) Juice that is prepared using a juicer oxidizes in a very short time, even if it is stored in the refrigerator, because of this it is best to consume it immediately.

The final product can be either juice or marmalade - and these products are obtained by evaporating fruits or vegetables.

Before you figure out how to cook juice in a juice cooker, you need to know its operating principle. It consists in the fact that berries and fruits are heated with steam, and two processes occur simultaneously: pasteurization and juice extraction. The device itself is made of stainless steel, and its lid is made of fire-resistant glass, which has a special hole to release steam.

Add sugar to berries and fruits, and a little salt to vegetables. You can rely on your taste or use ready-made recipes. So, for 4 liters of strawberries you will need 300 g of sugar; for 4 liters of drain – 400 g; for 3 liters of chopped apples or pears – 400 g; for 4 liters of cherries – 350 g; for 4 liters of black and red currants, raspberries - half a kilo.

fruits or berries;

To prevent the electric heater and the bottom from burning, it is necessary to periodically monitor so that the water in the bottom does not completely boil away.

In addition, it is not recommended to remove scale using hard objects so that the juicer will last you longer. If you notice any tarnish on the inside of the juicer components, it is recommended to boil them in a solution of baking soda in a ratio of three to four teaspoons of soda per two liters of water for fifteen to twenty minutes, then rinse with ordinary water.

Pour at least two liters of water into the base of the juicer and bring it to a boil. When the water boils, place a juice collector and a loading hopper containing fruits or berries on the base of the juicer. Load fruits or berries up to the hopper collar. After this, cover the juice cooker with a lid and continue the heating process over low heat. The rubber hose should be closed with a clamp. You must ensure that the water located at the base of the juicer does not boil away completely (in order to avoid burning the bottom).

What to look for when choosing a juicer?

If it boils, be sure to preserve it. Otherwise, you will lose all the vitamins you have.

There was a time when the Great Lakes Indians made sap in large wooden and copper barrels for the purpose of obtaining sugar. Nowadays, juice is boiled to obtain a natural vitamin drink, jam or jelly. It is, of course, allowed to use existing items such as bowls, pans, buckets or basins, but it is preferable for this purpose to use a juicer - the greatest find in the kitchen industry!

Expensive juice cookers have a temperature sensor, which will allow you to constantly monitor the process.

And the juice produced using a juicer can be consumed for another week, simply left for storage in the refrigerator, and this will not affect its quality in any way.

Products (as a rule, they are cut and pitted) are placed in a mesh colander.

How to use a juicer. Instructions. Recipe example

Now let’s look at how to prepare juice in a juicer, for example, from apples. We cut the fruits and place them in the upper hopper. If you make large pieces of fruit, they will heat up slowly and just as slowly release juice, which will also be diluted by water vapor. If they are small, they will quickly turn into puree and clog the colander of the unit. As a result, steam access to higher layers will stop, the juice output will become worse, and it will liquefy. The correct size of the pieces is most often achieved experimentally. By the way, the container into which the juice will flow through the hose must be warm, since the finished product will also arrive heated.

What is a juicer?

Pour water into the lower pan according to the capacity of the juicer (usually 2 to 3 liters). Close the heat-resistant lid tightly, install a clamp on the hose and leave the raw material to steam. At a temperature of approximately 70 degrees, liquid begins to accumulate in the juice receiver. Typically, cooking the juice lasts from half an hour to an hour, depending on the hardness, ripeness and juiciness of the fruit. If you purchased an expensive modern device with a temperature sensor, this will simplify monitoring the process.

What you should not do to ensure that your juice cooker serves you for many years:

So, to make juice, the hose that is included in the kit needs to be put on the drain pipe of the vessel in order to drain the juice, and then secure it well. The clamp must be fixed to the hose. Fill the liquid container with approximately four liters of water. Then the container for draining the juice must be placed on the water container in such a way that the drain tube is located in the recess of the water container. After this, you should insert the tray for garden fruits and fruits into the vessel for draining the juice. This tray is filled with fruits prepared in advance. Now cover with a lid. At the moment when the water in the container begins to boil, the juice will be boiled (squeezed). In order to constantly produce the required steam for cooking juice, the water must always be in a boiling state. It is worth paying attention to ensure that the water in the container does not boil away. The presence of water must be checked after the squeezing procedure. Of course, if the water has completely evaporated, it must be added. The container holds approximately five liters of water, but it is not recommended to fill it completely. From a practical point of view, about four liters of water are poured into this container. This amount of water is enough to complete the process of boiling the juice for approximately seventy to eighty minutes. It is necessary to sterilize clean lids and bottles in boiled water or in an oven heated to a temperature of seventy-five degrees. About thirty to sixty minutes after the juice has been boiled, the process ends. The time depends on the type of fruit being cooked. Ultimately, the juice needs to be poured into containers prepared in advance at the same moment. Bottles must be quickly covered with lids after the pouring process. You should wait a while for the closed bottles to cool, then place them for storage in a room with a low air temperature in a standing position. In addition, it is possible to process fruits, garden fruits and herbs using a juicer.

The process of juice separation lasts approximately forty-five to seventy minutes in accordance with the ripeness and growth of the berries. After the above time, the clamp should be removed and the heated juice should be drained using a hose into cleaned jars or bottles, which must be sterilized and heated in advance. Also, working with a juicer allows you to obtain juice with a sweet taste. In order for you to succeed, you need to pour sugar into the loading hopper along with fruits or berries.

How to use a juicer

Before the boiling process. In other words, do not allow it to fully boil. Definitely without adding sugar, then into jars and screw (wait until signs of boiling appear).

5) In a juicer, juice is obtained in a longer time than in a juicer. However, there is also convenience in this; there is no need to constantly put fruit there, like in a juicer; you just need to load a portion and wait until the required amount of juice is obtained. When preparing juice in a juicer, all the necessary ingredients are loaded into it at once.

Pour water into the lowest pan, place it on the stove and bring the water to a boil. After this, place a saucepan on top of a pan of water to collect juice (this pan has a silicone tube for draining the juice with a clamp), place a colander with food on top of it and close with a lid.

Further instructions on how to cook juice in a juicer. Pour water into its base, at least two liters. Bring to a boil. Then we place a juice collector and a loading hopper with fruit on the base. Cover the top with a lid and heat over low heat. We close the rubber hose with a special clamp. To avoid burning the bottom of the lower container, make sure that the water does not boil away.

When the juice fills the middle reservoir, place warm sterilized jars under the hose. They should be below the level of the bottom of the juicer. Remove the clamp and drain the drink. It is recommended not to use the first 2 glasses of liquid for long-term storage - it is not sterile enough. The rest of the juice can be stored for the winter. Typically, 2 kg of raw materials produces 1-1.5 liters of juice.

water;
Wash it with an alkaline solution.
Before you start using the juicer, you should rinse it thoroughly in ordinary hot water. It is recommended to immerse the drain hose in hot water for about two to three minutes so that it does not have a rubber smell. After this, you should fill the lower part of the vessel with water to approximately eighty percent of its full volume.
In order for the produced juice to be stored for a long period, it is necessary to follow all existing rules for preservation. Consider the following recipe for the purpose of producing juice with sweet taste, however, depending on how ripe the fruits are, these figures may vary.

After the boiling process, keep it on low heat for about ten minutes and the juice is ready.

Place specially prepared fruits (carefully washed and peeled) into a wire pan, adding the required amount of sugar or salt if they are garden fruits. Large fruits (pears, apples, quinces, etc.) need to be cut into small pieces. After this, pour two liters of water into the saucepan, place the reservoir to collect the juice, cover the saucepan with the fruit from the top and place it on the fire. Place the bottle or glass jar under the straw (rinsed thoroughly and doused with boiled water). The vessels must be warm, since the juice will flow into it while it is hot. Jars that are filled with juice, without wasting time, are rolled up using sterile hot lids, after which they are cooled by moving them upside down.

Summer is the time to prepare various food supplies for the winter season. Many of us cannot imagine winter without eating pickled cucumbers, tomatoes and other pickles. Juice is also produced in reserve in summer and autumn. From fruits grown in the garden or purchased in a store or market. It is permissible to use a juicer for such purposes. However, most of the household models available on store shelves are not designed to process significant volumes of crops. They are a great option for making a glass or two of fresh juice at any time for relatives or friends, so that they can absorb this juice at the same moment (fresh, of course, should be absorbed quickly, after twenty minutes it already loses a huge part of the most useful qualities). For significant volumes of juice that are intended for preservation purposes, it is preferable to use other devices - juice cookers. In our article you will learn more about them.

6) The juice from a juicer is much sweeter than from a juicer, even if you don’t add sugar to it. And the pulp remaining in the juicer after preparing the juice can be used to make puree or marmalade. In addition to juices, the juicer can be used to make jelly.

The principle of operation of a juice cooker is similar to a double boiler - water is heated, turns into steam, which passes through the food, absorbs the juice, which accumulates in the second pan from the bottom.

The process of juice secretion lasts on average one hour. Remove the clamp and pour the liquid into clean jars or bottles, previously sterilized. Using a juicer you can get juice that will be sweet. To do this, you need to pour sugar into the loading hopper at the same time as fruits or berries.

Summer and autumn are very busy periods for many housewives. After all, this is the time to harvest vegetables, berries and fruits. How I want to preserve all this in any form for as long as possible! Nowadays, technology comes to the aid of people, allowing them to process all these riches with minimal time and effort. You just need to know how to use all these devices. For example, let's figure out how to cook juice in a juice cooker, which is indispensable during the vegetable and fruit season. Using it you can make a lot of preparations for the winter.

sugar;

clean with grinding powder or sandpaper.

Upload carefully washed berries or fruits weighing about five to six kilograms into the network, while sprinkling them with the required amount of granulated sugar.

Working with apples is extremely interesting. Since trees usually bear quite a large number of them, it is possible to get a huge variety of products from them, and there are so many vitamins in this juice! However, you should be extremely careful with apple juice.

Naturally, this is a device for the purpose of making juices. Juice cookers are now divided into two types: electric, as well as those that require an external heating source (as a rule, they are placed on a hob or stove). By the way, hobs are widely popular. But the operating principle of both types of juicers is exactly the same. It is based on the effect of steam on fruit and evaporation of juice from the total mass. A juice cooker is usually represented by a set of several containers that are placed one above the other. It is in the lower container that water is placed, then the container is placed on the stove and the water is brought to a boil. Then they place a container on it to collect the juice (such a container has a specially designed tube with a clamp for draining the juice), place a colander with the food on top of it and cover it with a lid. In general, the operating principle of a double boiler is as follows: the water is heated, after which it turns into steam, passing through the food, absorbing the juice and condensing (accumulating) in the second saucepan located below. An electric juice cooker differs from an ordinary one solely by the presence of an electric heater - an integral part of the juice cooker. You can also purchase electric saucepans, which, if equipped with a special container attachment, can be used as a juice cooker.

To start creating a juicer or juicer at home, let’s get acquainted with their structure and operating principle. All juicers, juice cookers and juice presses are designed for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables. Of course, the best juicer is an electric one with high power and naturally high productivity. But most devices are manufactured to produce only 1-2 glasses, then quickly heat up and fail. To obtain juice from citrus fruits, cone-shaped manual juicers are used. They are made of glass, metal or plastic.

An unpeeled lemon or orange is cut in half and the half is placed on a cone. By turning the citrus in both directions, you get juice.

There are also screw and lever juicers and a juicer attachment for a meat grinder. Screw juicers operate on the principle of a press. The grated or crushed fruit mass is placed in a vessel and squeezed out, tightening the screw, using a screw press.

The operating principle of a lever juicer is based on the use of a press handle. The container is filled with fruit and the lid is closed with a press; the juice is released after pressing on the handle.

Juicer on a meat grinder - auger juicer. The meat grinder is attached to the table. Filling the container with berries, rotate the handle and get juice flowing out through a metal mesh, and the pulp falls out through a special hole.

In addition to juicers, there are juice cookers. Juice cookers are good for extracting juice from soft berries, currants, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. They are a set of pans, usually made of aluminum. The lower pan is in the form of a truncated cone, the upper one is cylindrical with a central tube. The cylindrical pan contains a conical colander with a lid. Various fruits are placed in a colander, mainly raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, peeled apples and pears. Sometimes you can add sugar. The juice cooker is placed on the fire, and after some time, under the influence of steam, aromatic juice begins to be produced and drain from the tube. The juice is hot and therefore you can put prepared jars under the tube; when they are filled, immediately seal them with lids and seaming wrench.

You can make a juicer with your own hands. To do this, we use the principle of obtaining juice in a factory juicer. Take a large saucepan or enamel bucket, but make sure it has a lid. Place a plate, bottom up, or a wooden circle or board cut with a jigsaw. Then place a container with high sides on it. Pour enough water into the pan so that when boiling it does not fall into the container to collect the juice.

Use a piece of gauze in two layers or thin linen to tie around the edges of the pan, so that the bottom barely reaches the container for collecting juice. Place raspberries or blueberries in this cloth and cover the pan with a lid. Place the made juicer on the fire. When the water boils, the juice will begin to separate into the substituted container. The fire can be reduced. All the juice should separate in about an hour. After this, remove the bag of berries and squeeze out the contents. Pour hot juice into jars and seal.
