These are the type with a juicing cone that points up in the middle of a dish or a jug and you press the lemon down on top, twisting it and squeezing it to get all the juice out. So if you see a wooden handle just back away slowly. Of the two the second type is the only one worth talking about in my experience, they don’t cost much more and they produce a lot more juice than the other type. But you also get the ones where you place the half lemon on a little podium inside a handheld juicer and squeeze the handles together.
These are the ones where you hold half a lemon in one hand, the reamer in the other and you push the two together wriggling away to get the juice out.
JUICE SQUEEZER MANUAL
But why don’t we skip that and take a look at the different types of manual juicer you can buy. We’ve gone through the good, we’ve gone through the bad, but what about the ugly? Well, there isn’t an ugly side to handheld juicing unless you count the fruit after it’s been juiced. Though you might want to have a look at all the lovely vegetables you can juice. But if you want easy to use and fast enough a manual juicer is still a great choice.Ĭan’t Juice Vegetables – Manual crank juicers can handle wheatgrass but that’s about it, cranking hard enough to grind up a carrot is going to take a lot of work, but if you’re looking to mostly juice soft citrus fruits then you’re going to get on absolutely fine. So while it can be more convenient to take out a manual press it can end up being a bit more work overall. Takes longer – As well as being physically harder to use they also take a bit longer to get the juice out. I’m guessing you probably knew that but thought I should mention it anyway. Requires more effort – They’re not powered so you, of course, have to do all the work to get any juice out from your fruit.
If only everything we used was as perfect as I am, ahem… OK so I’m not perfect and neither are manual juicers, they’ve got a couple of drawbacks that you’ll want to be aware of. You can travel with them – Not for everyone but they can be useful if you go camping a lot, or you travel for work because you can pack them away with ease and take them out ready to use wherever you end up. Fewer gears to get in and about to try and scrub clean and most are dishwasher safe so clean up is fast and easy. Though you’d be surprised at the quality of a cheap juicer.Įasier to clean – Less moving parts and far simpler designs make manual juicers much easier to clean up after. You can pick up a reasonable handheld one for less than $20 and even a heavy-duty crank-operated wheatgrass juicer won’t set you back more than $100. Meaning you can juice happily without disturbing your whole house and your neighbours.Ĭheaper – Because less technology is used inside manual juicers are a lot cheaper. Quieter – Hear that? No? Me neither, that’s because you’re using a manual powered juicer so don’t have any of the whirring or gear sounds that you get from an electric one. What better place to start than with all the great advantages manual juicers have over electric ones. Not good for citrus but excellent for wheatgrass and other leafy greens that are softer, you can technically juice anything in it but you’ll need a lot of strength to squeeze a carrot through it! Manual Juicer Advantages You can see my post on wheatgrass juicers for more like this. It clamps to the side of your counter so you can turn the handle comfortably and crank out juice shots in no time. This is pretty heavy duty but if you’re looking to manually make wheatgrass shots then it’s the way to go.
