There are only a few things in life I'll admit to, one of
them being my ignorance towards the usage of a juicer. If and when I needed
juice, I could go out and buy myself a pack of pre-made juice and that would be
that folks.
Last month or so, I was walking around the mall with a
friend of mine, you know, just Saturday afternoon window shopping, since we
were bored out of our minds, we visited an electronic appliance shop and almost
everything there was on sale, my friend pointed me towards the direction of a
juicer which was 50% off but I neglected it and went on ahead. I’ve had my
share of second thoughts on that very hasty decision.
So, when Borosil sent over this juicer for reviewing, I was
like, “Ya, Okay, let’s see what’s all this about.”
After several minutes of thinking, I realized that a juicer
is a useful kitchen asset and saves you those valuable minutes of above
thinking. My kitchen is my sanctuary and almost every day, something delicious
is created there. I am a huge fan of juice and this juicer came as a huge
blessing. Fresh juice is better than packed juice because:
1.
It is free of preservatives and unnecessary
sugar;
2.
It is fresh.
My mother wasn’t particularly happy about the juicer because, “saaf kaun
karega?” (who’ll clean it?)
Un-Boxing.
Now, unboxing the juicer was a breeze. The juicer was boxed
perfectly and everything was intact, the juicer was pre-arranged to save your
life and the instruction manual was as simple as it could be. The juicer, like any standard one, had a pulp collector, juice collector, food pusher, stainless steel micro-mesh strainer basket, feed chute, locking latch and a switch.
Recipes.
Recipe: 1
I love green juice, probably any juice that contains green
vegetables with fruit because then I’d have my nutrition and not have to put
gross flavours into my mouth.
My first recipe is “detox and strength”.
Juicing this recipe was a breeze, I just put all my
ingredients into the juicer and dialled my dial to setting no.2 for I had
apples in the system and juicing them would require more power. Now, when
you’re making this recipe, be sure to layer the ingredients instead of just
putting one ingredient after another, this way, you’re letting the flavours
meet each other in harmony. Also, with this recipe, you have to juice the
ingredients in two rounds because there’s only so much a juicer can take.
Ingredients:
1 cup spinach;
2 apples, roughly chopped;
2 clementine oranges
Now, just juice on setting no.2 and enjoy your delicious and
nutritious juice.
Recipe: 2
I love orange, the colour and the fruit. Honestly, orange
compliments all flavours; be it salad or chocolate but we aren’t talking about
that today. Today, I’ll be sharing my recipe for a juice that’ll rejuvenate
your soul.

My second recipe is “Rehabilitation.”
Ingredients:
1.
1 cup chopped carrots;
2.
2 clementine oranges;
3.
A dash of ginger;
4.
Juice of one lemon
Again, layer the ingredients up and this recipe also
requires two rounds.
Juice it on setting no. 2 and blend that rehab of a juice
up.
Verdict.
The juicer stands by its promise and gives you fresh juice
under a minute. The juicer is easy to use and novices need not crack their
brain open; the settings and instructions are clear.
While Juicing my second recipe, the sound made be the juicer
sounded a lot like the audio derivation from Jurassic park but it was
acceptable for it had to juice up a hard cup of carrots.
All in all, I loved this juicer; it is easy to deconstruct,
clean and juice.
Shireen Review; 7/10.
Recommend it!
