Juicers

Juicing has become a popular way to boost your daily intake of vitamins and nutrients, and having the right appliances can make all the difference. At Robins Kitchen, we offer a range of cold press juicers designed to cater to both beginners and seasoned juicing enthusiasts. Our selection of juicers provides unparalleled efficiency and easy usability, making it simple to incorporate freshly pressed juices into your daily routine.

Juicers
Juicers are essential kitchen appliances for anyone looking to enjoy fresh, homemade juice that's free from preservatives and added sugars. Whether you're a health enthusiast or simply enjoy a refreshing glass of juice, a quality juicer can help you extract the maximum nutrition from fruits and vegetables. They come in various types, including centrifugal juicers, which work by shredding produce with a high-speed spinning metal blade, and masticating juicers, which crush and press fruits for a high yield. The right juicer can cater to your specific needs and preferences, whether you prioritise speed or nutrient retention.

Cold Press Juicer
Cold press juicers, also known as masticating juicers, operate at a slower speed to gently press fruits and vegetables. This method helps retain more nutrients, enzymes, and flavour in the juice compared to traditional juicers. By minimising heat and oxidation, cold press juicers ensure that your juice remains fresh and nutrient-rich for longer periods. They are ideal for leafy greens and wheatgrass, which are often difficult to juice with other machines. While they may require a larger initial investment, the superior quality of juice produced makes them a favourite among health-conscious individuals and juice enthusiasts alike.

Juicer FAQs

What is a cold press juicer?
A cold press juicer, also known as a masticating juicer, extracts juice by crushing and pressing fruits and vegetables. Unlike traditional centrifugal juicers, cold press juicers operate at a slower speed, which minimises heat exposure and oxidation. This process helps preserve the essential nutrients, enzymes, and natural flavours in the juice.

How do I choose the right juicer for my needs?
Consider what types of produce you plan to juice most often, your budget, and how much space you have available on your kitchen counter. If you prioritise nutrient retention and plan to juice a variety of fruits and vegetables, a cold press juicer is an excellent choice. At Robins Kitchen, we stock juicers from iconic brands like Breville and Cuisinart.

What types of fruits and vegetables can I juice with a cold press juicer?
Cold press juicers are versatile and can handle a wide variety of produce, including hard fruits like apples and pears, soft fruits like berries and grapes, and fibrous vegetables such as kale, spinach, and carrots. They are also effective for juicing leafy greens and wheatgrass.

How do I clean and maintain my cold press juicer?
Most cold press juicers come with detachable parts that are easy to clean. Simply rinse the components under running water immediately after use to prevent pulp build-up. Many models are dishwasher-safe but always refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Regular maintenance includes checking for worn-out parts and lubricating any moving components as needed.

How much juice can I expect from a cold press juicer?
Juice yield will vary depending on the produce's water content, but generally, cold press juicers extract more juice than centrifugal models. You can expect approximately 1.5 to 2 litres of juice from 4 to 5 kilograms of mixed fruits and vegetables.

What is the difference between a juicer and a blender?
A juicer extracts juice from fruits and vegetables, separating it from the pulp, while a blender processes the entire fruit or vegetable, including the fibre. Juicers are ideal for making pure juice, whereas blenders are suitable for smoothies and other thick drinks.

Is it worth investing in a cold press juicer?
If you value nutrition and are committed to regular juicing, a cold press juicer is a worthwhile investment. Although they tend to be more expensive than centrifugal juicers, their superior juice quality and versatility make them a popular choice for health-conscious individuals.

How long can I store juice made from a cold press juicer?
Juice extracted from a cold press juicer can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours. The minimal oxidation process helps retain freshness, taste, and nutritional value.

Can I use a cold press juicer to make nut milk?
Yes! Cold press juicers efficiently process soaked nuts like almonds or cashews to create creamy, homemade nut milk. Remember to strain the final product through a nut milk bag for a smooth consistency.
