Best Juicer Buys

What is the Best Stainless Steel Juicer ?

As a young chef one of the first things I bought was a small stainless steel juicer. I was captivated by it’s clean lines and sleek designer look. But since those early days I’ve grown to truly appreciate the many other benefits a stainless steel juicer has to offer.

Interested in Hygiene?

If so, you’re going to be interested in the difference between stainless steel juicers and their plastic counterparts. A close friend of mine who is a biologist used to warn me to stay away from two things: blue food, with the exception of natural berries and secondly, mixing food in plastic appliances.

Stainless steel appliances are far more resistant to bacterial contamination than plastic models. This is because they generally have far fewer cracks and ‘cavities’ that can harbour micro-organisms.

Easy Cleaning

Stainless steel juicers also tend to be so much easier to clean as the parts tend to be ‘dishwasher friendly’. Usually a simple rinse will suffice, then it’s into the dishwasher….saving you time and a lot of hassle.

Stain Resistant

One of the things I enjoy most about my juicer is being able to play around and experiment with different concoctions. But unfortunately, not all juice is ‘created equal’. Some is more potent than others. Carrots and beets are renowned for their potency and can quickly stain your appliance. Although not immune to discolouration, stainless steel parts are far less likely to stain than plastic ones.

Durable

As a single chef, I never fully appreciated the benefits of owning a stainless steel juicer. However, now that I have a family I’ve learnt an important lesson…. Kids break things!! …and, so do ‘big kids’!!  So, if children roam your house get a stainless steel juicer that can withstand a bit of ‘wear and tear’.

So, What is the Best Stainless Steel juicer ?

If you’re after the best stainless steel Juicer it’s extremely difficult to go past one of the most popular models in the world, the Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL. I love this machine and pretty much use it every day.

If it’s power you’re after then this is the machine for you.  Boasting a 600 watt motor with 2 speeds, the Breville Juice Fountain Elite is able to spin at an amazing 14,500 rpm’s when in ‘top gear’. This ‘dual speed’ feature makes for a truly versatile machine as it is able to ‘tackle’ both softer fruits at it’s lower rotation and harder vegetables and fruit while in top gear.

But the Juice Fountain Elite is more than just a powerful machine….it is also ‘lightening quick’. It is hailed as the worlds fastest juicer, allowing you to produce a fresh glass of juice in a ‘blistering’ 7 seconds.

Also, cleaning’s a ‘snap’. If washing all the parts by hand is not ‘your thing’ then you’re going to love the Breville Juice Fountain Elite. Simply rinse, put the ‘dishwasher friendly’ parts into the machine, then ‘sit back’ and enjoy your juice.

Finally, with it’s classical lines and clean stainless steel finish, the Juice Fountain Elite looks sensational……”No matter how old the chef, I guess some things never change!!. In my books this is definitely the best stainless steel juicer ”
