I saw it on YouTube a cast iron pan that you can check the temperature whether Siri to be used or not, it was a wonderful idea but I can’t find it. What you do is you take this gizmo and face it to the pan temperature of the pan before you make anything in it it’s a great idea but I cannot find anywhere could you please let me know where I can find it? Thank you, via Bluetooth.
One element that should be addressed is oxygen. Does the ambient air oxidize those nutrients that the juicer is trying to obtain?
I had the 5 ton horizontal Champion for years — that had a lawnmower motor. I recently bought the very expensive Nama which is now putting out other versions without the new applications being compatible on the one I JUST BOUGHT. Unhappy with them, but the original juicer is very efficient.
Thanks for sharing 👍 😀
Also, the person who asked the question about the Slow Juicer Attachment for KitchenAid Stand Mixers, as much as I would love to get more Attachments, that Slow Juicer/Saucer Attachment I would personally avoid because it requires running the machine on Speed 10 & I don’t want to wear out my Stand Mixer!
If you're making something that will be fried like falafel or fishcakes it will be crispier with less liquid. Some root vegetable husk in the mix helps dry everything out.
Damn, I'm here for some very different "juicing gear", yo… 😅😅😅
0:34 I don't know if this was just referring to taste, but half or more of the nutritional content from the vegetables and fruits is actually in that pulp, so this is why people want to use it. It's so incredibly wasteful to just throw out half or a majority of all of that amazing stuff you're spending all of that time and money trying to consume.
It's one of the reasons juicing is significantly inferior to a great blender.

**Depending on what you are juicing with the KA juicer attachment, yes, it works, BUT… (I know, lousy sentence structure but hang with me here.) ***Don't try it with celery!!!** I decided to hop on the celery juice train due to medical issues but realized my good juicer was somewhere in storage. I used my KA with the juicer attachment every day for a week until I finally gave up and am using my Vitamix Blender starting tomorrow. Here's why: The low pulp screen got so clogged up that no juice or pulp came out at all. My mixer started making enough scary noises that I thought I'd broken it. I ended up having to pull the juicer apart and manually scrape all of the soggy, pulpy mess from each part into an inside-out nut milk bag. I squeezed the mess into a juice that was, by that point a very oxidized dark green juice and fairly dry pulp. (I save the pulp and give it to a neighbor for their chickens.) On day two I tried the high pulp screen. I did get dry pulp and juice out of the appropriate openings but quickly realized that I was going to have to pour all of my "juice" through the nut milk bag again to strain all of the pulp out. I also had to clean the rest of the soggy mess out of the juicer to squeeze the remaining juice out. Again, darker green oxidized celery juice, but not as bad as day one. On day three, I tried the sauce attachment. This, in theory, should send all of the pulp and juice out together into a "celery sauce" of sorts. I figured if I was going to have to filter it all, anyway, maybe this would be faster. Wrong! I don't know how much time I spent on days one and two, but day three was almost 45 minutes. I did make a rookie mistake, though. My bunch of celery was large enough it made extra. I decided to save half for day four. Big mistake. It was incredibly bitter, dark green, oxidized, and foul-tasting, despite being in a sealed container. On day five I stuck with lemon water. Tomorrow we juice with the Vitamix and strain with the nut milk bag. Easy-peasy.
Great for composting
The stand mixer "juicer" attachment from KA works But the tiny tiny feed tube tube mix the job almost insufferable. I have a lot of stand mixers and it didn't matter if it was my smallest artisan artisan 3.5 Mini or my pro 700 Neither mixers feel as if they are straining straining but while you're waiting and chopping and chopping the the items smaller than items small enough to fit down the shoot you you start to question if this crap is worth worth all the wear and tear that's being put on the motor. Like the tiny food processor attachment I would say SKIP IT! Stick with the shredding slathreading/grating, Slicing, Grinder, pasta, And definitely the spiralizer visor attachments are the way to go!
Things are a whole lot easier than they used to be when it comes to extracting juice from fruits and veggies. My mother's system was in 2 parts. She had a machine that ground up the produce then the pulp was put in the center of a sheet of canvas and folded up, placed on a spouted platform with a hydrolic press and jacked up against a steel plate. It got nearly all the juice out of anything but…..wow! …..what a lot of work!
Thank you I'm getting ready to buy one here soon .
If you're concerned with the pulp going to waste then just make smoothies. Like Lisa said, it's flavorless, dry fiber and you'll never keep up if you juice daily. I tried once years ago and I would have needed to make dozens of muffins a day to use it all, and composting and feeding it to chickens wasn't an option. I chew my food now and make smoothies as an occasional treat.
Hi ATK
Greetings from California 😋
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
The link is for the " do you really need a bread machine" episode

I add the leftover pulp from my juice extractor into my blender along with the other ingredients for my smoothie.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Whoops! Link on the juicing episode led to a bread machine episode instead…
