Citrus juicer: tips for choosing and using

Citrus fruits contain a huge variety of beneficial trace elements that strengthen the immune system. Therefore, there are many fans of freshly squeezed juice. Now you can find many models and variations of various devices that allow you to squeeze juice, but it is rather difficult to decide which one will be more convenient and suitable. Before purchasing such a device, you should find out about the types and characteristics of each model - only then it will be possible to buy a worthy option that will delight the owner with a healthy and tasty drink for a long time.

There are many manufacturers offering a huge selection of such devices. Juicers are extremely popular and in demand, because freshly squeezed juice, prepared with your own hands, retains all the necessary minerals and vitamins, since the drink does not heat up.

The simplest and least expensive device requires a lot of effort in order to get a drink from fruit. Below are some variations of juicing devices.

The mechanical model is the most requested of all. It has a fairly simple and convenient design and mechanical control, so it is extremely easy to squeeze out juice with it. It is intended for citrus fruits, but you can also get juice from tomatoes, pomegranates and other fruits and vegetables.

The portable version or mini-press copes with its task quite quickly. He is able to squeeze a drink from lemon, orange and grapefruit. The design resembles the one designed for garlic pressure.

To get juice, you need to put half of the citrus between two metal or plastic plates. The released juice enters the prepared container by means of a recess. After receiving the drink, the device must be rinsed under running water. This option is convenient if you need a small amount of juice (dressing a salad or making a cocktail).

The spray device was developed for the same purpose as the portable models. A little peel should be cut from the fruit. A spiral tube is placed in the hole. There is a spray head on the device, by pressing on which fresh juice will flow from the sprayer.

A hand press, similar to a drill, is a cone. A similar option can be made of metal or plastic. The fruit is screwed into the cone, and the drink enters the bowl using a groove.

The auger juicer is a real universal assistant for housewives. This design has a similar design to the grinder device. The fruits should be cut and placed in the neck. Then they are rolled with an auger and fed to the wire rack in the form of puree. After that, the press squeezes out the resulting mass, as a result of which juice is obtained.

The device can squeeze out not only citrus fruits, but also pomegranates and berries. The press is reasonably priced and is a reliable option. But there are also disadvantages: it gets dirty quite quickly, so it needs to be washed after use.

When buying, it is important to consider some of the aspects described below.

• The body can be metal or plastic. The first option is safer and more durable, but problematic during operation, especially if it is necessary to wash the device. The second material is quite fragile, but easier to clean.
• It is necessary to carefully study the package contents. It will be better if it will include some types of attachments for a variety of vegetables and fruits.
• It is important to pay attention to the material from which the rotating device is made. Stainless steel is ideal.

• It is worth considering the size - after all, if the kitchen is small, then it is better to purchase a small model that takes up little space and is easy to clean.
• If the device has a high price, it is not always of high quality, so you need to study its characteristics and understand whether it is worth overpaying for it.
• To know how much freshly squeezed drink the device can dispense, you need to look at the volume and shape of the case.
• The best options for devices have an elongated spout so that it is convenient to pour the drink.

To purchase a practical thing, you first need to decide for what purpose you need a juicer. If you need it in order to squeeze out a small amount of juice for orange juice for breakfast, then you should buy a cone model.

There are many popular cone designs that have a special filter that cleans the drink. This filter also acts as a lid for the bowl into which the juice is poured. It is extremely convenient and practical, which is why such models are popular.

You can, of course, give preference to an electronic device, which will allow you not to make great efforts to obtain juice, but the manual version retains the beneficial properties of fresh fruit, which has a positive effect on health. If you need to prepare large volumes of a drink, then you should buy an electric model.

Some people think that the more complex the filter design, the better the juice will be. However, it is not. You can choose a less complex filter, which is a double mesh with different hole shapes. The upper mesh will trap the larger pieces of fruit, and the lower mesh will catch what is left. If the owner needs to squeeze juice from fruits of various sizes (lime or grapefruit), then use a device with interchangeable nozzles that fit each of the fruits.

The most popular and comfortable-to-use options are presented below.
