Top 3 Carrot Juicers

March 11th, 2010 by No comments »

When it comes to carrot juicing, there are five factors that are very important to consider.

  1. How easy is the juicer to clean?
  2. How fast can you juice?
  3. Size of the carrot juicer
  4. If you like pulp in your juice or not.
  5. Price range

Based on these four factors, following three juicers are the best in my opinion.

Orange Apple and Carrot Juice

February 2nd, 2010 by No comments »

I love carrot juices because the sweetness is just right. You can also use carrot juice as base to mix with other fruit and vegetables juices. My favorite is Orange, Apple and Carrot Juice.

Ingredients:

i: 6 to 8 medium size carrots

ii: 1 Apple (I do this way because I don’t like to add too much sweetness to my juice, but you can definitely cut down on carrots and add more apples.

iii: 2 Oranges

Directions: Core the apple, wash carrots thoroughly with cold water and then cut off the carrot tips. I rather not slice them off but sometimes, it’s just very hard to completely rinse out the dirt particles from the tops. So I just cut them. Then just run them through a carrot juicer (make sure that you carrot juicer can handle whole carrots, otherwise just chop them into smaller pieces before running them through your juice extractor). Juice oranges and mix the orange juice with the apple and carrot juice. Viola, you have the perfect juice that you can ever ask for.

**One thing to consider with oranges is that you have juice them separately but they don’t take very long to juice and it’s worth a little extra. You will know what I am talking about when you will take your first sip.

Carrot Juicer Reviews: Breville Juice Fountain Compact

January 24th, 2010 by No comments »

I, mainly, like orange and carrot juices, but like I said in one of my earlier posts that there are not really any juicers that are specifically designed for carrot juicing. So you have to find something that is more versatile but easier to juice carrots.

You also want to see a how easy it is to clean your juicer. Because after juicing, you don’t want to spend a whole lot of time cleaning it. In fact, this is one of the reasons why so many people opt to buy juices from grocery stores and not juice themselves because they don’t want to go through the hassle of cleaning something. It takes literally two minutes to juice (if you know what you are doing) and five minutes to clean if you have to do it by hand. So it just becomes a chore.

When you are considering a juicer on the basis of how easy it is to clean, you should keep in mind that whatever you buy it is dishwasher safe (Don’t put the motor in the dishwasher J , dishwasher safe does not mean that, it usually means pulp and juice collector, lid and strainer) for the most part. If majority of the parts can easily be detached, and you can wash them in the dishwasher like all the other dieses then it can save you a lot of time.

Pulp container is also another big factor (at least it was for me in my selection) when you are shopping for a carrot juicer. You don’t want to be emptying out your pulp container after every 20 seconds. So you want something that can hold quite a lot of pulp, giving you the flexibility to juice in one run.

For the reason listed above, I like the Breville Juice Fountain Compact. It’s easy to clean and you don’t have to empty out the pulp container that often. This juicer is also good that even though it produces more juice as compared to majority of the other juicers but it also leaves the juice smooth and basically without any pulp.

Carrot Juicer: Waring Health Juice Extractor

January 24th, 2010 by No comments »

Majority of the carrot juicers are versatile and also juice other fruits and vegetables. Which is good in some aspects because then you are not paying for multiple juicers that do only on thing and one thing only. But if you are looking to specifically juice carrots then there are some things that you can look into that can help you with your shopping and juicing needs.

For example, one main thing to take into consideration would be to see how big the chute or feed tube (Mouth of the juicer) is. This allows you to feed whole carrots into the juicer instead of cutting them into pieces before feeding them into the feed tube. Obviously we all want something that is more convenient and fast but also does the job and does it right. I personally don’t want to waste time on chopping them into small pieces before juicing them because for one it will be time consuming and secondly, I will be less likely to juice often even though I love carrot juice because it will become more of hassle.

I am also not a big fan of pulp; I want my juice to be as smooth as possible. So that I am not chewing on pieces of carrots when I am drinking my fresh juice. If chewing is what I wanted to do then I can just save the hassle and eat my carrots and be done with it. But downside of juicing that way is that you will not get the most amount of juice if you are like me because most likely pulp will be still wet and contain juice. But there are some folks who like to squeeze out every drop of the juice from their carrots but then you run into the risk of having some pulp in their juices.

For these two reasons stated above, Waring Health Juice Extractor would be a good choice because for one it has a big feed tube and second juice comes out quite smooth. But keep in mind that this juicer is moderately noisy and is little big in size, so if you don’t want any of these things in your juicer then you might to look at some other juicer. It also fills up the pulp collector after about 10 carrots, but you can easily detach the collector and dump the pulp. Another thing that I like about this juicer is that it’s not very expensive; you can easily find this juicer for around 50 bucks.

Buying a Carrot Juicer ? – Consider These Things First

January 15th, 2010 by No comments »

Fresh carrot juice is considered as a miracle juice as it is a gold mine of nutrients. It has a lot of vitamins and is mineral rich. It all sounds good, but obviously making a fresh glass of carrot juice takes time. One way to make it efficient is to get a carrot juicer that takes less to make carrot juice. There are multiple things that you should look into when shopping a carrot juicer.

On my list first thing would be to find a juicer which is less time consuming to clean up after juicing. There are many juicers that fit into this category, but not all. Some juicers are really easy to clean, you can just rinse them and you are done. Some are dishwasher friendly. I would go that route, where after juicing I can just rinse and put it into the dishwasher.

You should also consider your juicing needs. Are you only going to be juicing for carrots or other fruits and vegetables as well. If that’s the case, then you should look into something that is more versatile so that you can juice more ingredients not just the carrots.

Some people like pulp some don’t, I am personally not a big pulp fan. So I would rather buy something that produces more pulp and only gives me juice. One thing to keep in mind is that pulp also contains some good nutrients. If you are okay with drinking a little thicker juice, then you may consider that type of a carrot juicer.

Size also matters; Obviously if you are looking into a high power juicer then the size will be bigger as well. I am personally in favor of a high power juicer, so that I can not only juice carrots, but juice them faster instead of having to first cut them up into pieces.

Carrot Juicer – How to find the right one?

December 5th, 2009 by No comments »

It’s possible today to find a carrot juicer in any size, color, shape or style you desire. This is good news. However, it is possible to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of juicers available on the market.

That’s why it’s so important to do your research before you start shopping for a carrot juicer. The key is to look at your own lifestyle. By asking yourself some important questions, you’ll be able to narrow down the juicer field. With a little research, finding the perfect juicer should be an easy task.

Start by looking at your own juice-drinking habits. Do you like a fresh glass of carrot juice every morning? Or do you instead view carrot juice as an occasional snack? Maybe carrot juice is an integral part of your health plan, and you drink a glass at nearly every meal.

The basic rule is this: The more you actually drink carrot juice, the more you should be willing to spend on a carrot juicer. It may sound trite, but you really do get what you pay for. More expensive juicers will hold up better to nearly constant use. They also perform better, transforming carrots into fresh juice in far less time. This is important if you’re drinking a lot of carrot juice.

On the other hand, if you only plan to drink carrot juice once a week or less, you can get find a perfectly acceptable juicer for far less money. You won’t need a heavy duty juicer. Smaller, more inexpensive models should suit your needs.

Take a look at your kitchen space, too. Do you have an ultra-modern kitchen with plenty of counter space? If so, you might want to purchase a more expensive, higher-end carrot juicer. These models are so elegant that you’ll be able to store them out in the open on your counter. They’ll fit in perfectly with your newer kitchen.

If you have a smaller kitchen, consider buying a more compact model. These smaller juicers will be easier to store in kitchen cabinets, cupboards or pantries. And because they are more lightweight, it’ll be easier for you to get them in and out of these storage spaces.

Before buying your new carrot juicer, perform the research. It’s tempting to rush out and buy your new juicer on a whim. But the right research really does make a difference.

If you skimp on the research, the odds are good that you’ll end up with a juicer that isn’t appropriate for your needs. And when that happens, you’ll be far more likely to ignore your new juicer.

The health benefits of fresh carrot juice are undeniable. So do your homework and find that one juicer that is perfect for you and your family.
