Title: Another thanks to Specialty Materials
Post by: Frog on October 07, 2013, 11:17:36 AM: In the heat Press section here and on other forums , I have pointed out how happy I have been with their tech support.
Now another tip of the hat and thanks for helping me out with a cover for my new juicer!
(I got inspired when I saw how reasonable 25 lbs. of misshapen carrots were)

Most reviews said that it was pretty good for a home juicer.
It seems quite powerful, and is a helluva lot quieter (and electrically safer) than my old garage sale converstaion piece Howard Inches.

That beauty cost more than $60 in 1958!

I only have done carrots so far. I am not yet into the exotic, (often olive drab) kaley concoctions I seem to often see on TV and in movies.
For my first experiment, I'm planning on trying an easy blend I found that sounds appealing, repeatable (and easy to remember). The quantity progression goes up with the alphabetized ingredients.

2 apples
3 carrots
4 celery ribs

Post by: sweetts on October 07, 2013, 08:38:44 PM: The one I have pushes the dry material out one end and juice out the bottom. You can eat the fry stuff if you like.

Post by: Frog on October 07, 2013, 09:11:55 PM: This one has quite a large pulp container.
Here's what is left from about 3 cups carrot juice (from about 4 pounds of carrots I think.)

Post by: Northland on October 08, 2013, 01:50:38 AM: I've recently developed a deep appreciation for fruit and veg (especially beans of all types).

... not trying to be a wiseguy..... but the fiber may be as important as the vitamins/enzymes/nutrients.
Gotta get me a Vitamix Professional
