My most recent kitchen adventure has been juicing. My SIL's gave me a giftcard for my birthday which was perfect timing since I've been wanting to try out juicing. After reading a few reviews and knowing I didn't want a super cheap one just a fairly inexpensive one that works well, I chose this.
Pretty, isn't it? It's the Cuisinart Compact Juice Extractor and costs right around $100. Or $80 if you use a coupon at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I was a little worried about quality since it is one of the cheaper ones but I've used it a couple times and have zero complaints. Easy cleanup and it chews through everything. Even hard, woody beets go through it like it's nothing! So here are the things I've juiced so far, and my ratings for taste.
★ Nectarines-I love fresh nectarines but the juice was not something I would do again. Some people might like it though.
★★★ Celery/carrot-Turns out I just don't like carrot juice.
★★★★ Apple/pineapple-Pineapple by itself was too acidic, added apple and YUM! It just missed a five star rating because of being a bit too sweet.
★★★★★ Beet/celery-Sounds gross, right? Wrong. Absolutely delicious. Definitely my favorite. Beet by itself is too strong, but adding the celery made for a nice light juice without tasting watery.
If anyone has suggestions for what I should toss through there next, I'd love to hear it.
