The set consists of three stackable containers, a lid, and a hose with a clamp. The upper container (no. 1) – for fruits (up to 8 liters). The middle container (no. 2) – for juice, which can be drained into bottles or jars through the attached drain hose. The lower container (no. 3) - for water. The juicer can be used on any type of stove.
The juicer is made of stainless steel with very high durability, resistant to stress and temperature. Properly used, according to the recommendations provided in the instructions, it will serve efficiently for many years.
Using the juicer
Fill container no. 3 with water up to about 2 cm below the upper edge. Then place container no. 2 on it, and container no. 1 on top. Put the previously prepared, washed fruits into container no. 1. Soft fruits, such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or currants, should be poured in whole - uncrushed. Hard fruits, such as apples or pears, should be cut into pieces smaller than 3 cm. Sprinkle the fruits with sugar in an amount from 100 to 600 grams, depending on the acidity of the fruits and how sweet you want your finished juice to be. Cover the set with a lid and close the clamp on the hose (it is recommended to hook the hose onto the handle of container no. 2).
Place the prepared set on a heat source (gas stove, electric stove, etc.) and slowly bring the water to a boil. After the water boils, reduce the heating power to such an extent that an excessive amount of steam does not form around the container. Under the influence of the generated steam and increased temperature, juice will begin to be released from the fruits and accumulate in container no. 2.
The time needed to obtain juice, counted from the moment the water boils (steam appears in the upper container), is:
- for soft fruits (e.g., strawberries, raspberries): 20-30 minutes;
- for semi-hard fruits (e.g., black currants, blueberries): 30-40 minutes;
- for hard fruits (e.g., apples, pears): 45-60 minutes.
The table included in the instructions presents approximate cooking times for different types of fruits, the approximate amount of sugar to be added, and the expected amount of juice obtained.
About 15 minutes after the water boils, open the clamp on the drain hose - pour the accumulating juice through the hose directly into bottles or jars. Immediately after filling them, cap them or close them with twist-off lids. Place the filled bottles and/or jars, closed with caps or lids, in a pot with water and pasteurize for 30 minutes (counting from the moment the water boils).
Note! To obtain high-quality and long-lasting juice, perform all actions during its preparation with absolute cleanliness. Use available dishwashing agents to clean the juicer components, but avoid sharp brushes, scouring pads, and powders that may scratch the containers. Also, wash jars, bottles, caps, and lids thoroughly. It is good to wash them a few hours earlier and leave them upside down to dry.
The containers that make up the juicer can also be washed in dishwashers.
