Power Juicer

ta
f.

only if used in combination with a george foreman grill and a power cooker...

you need never use the hob again!!!

Hey I know a some Toytowners with a goergeforman grill...

They any good?

P

My brother has the power juicer. at first he used it all the time, now it's only used to make strange made up cocktails. Foreman grill is great! Really damn good burgers.

I have never used this particular juicer but back home we have one and it is really good. In the summer especially, the only thing is the one we have it is a bugger to clean. I would recommend them though.

they're good for fatty stuff like sausages and bacon but thats about all.

I find it drys the meat out too much, ...although if you balance the legs up you can make it flat...

Will try that and let you know! Although I still reckon your best off with one of those griddle pans...

Oh and the george foremans great for toasted sarnies too if you dont have a proper sandwich toaster!

110 v or 240v - ??? Wouldn't want the last thing you heard to be a loud bang !

I love the way the site has blatantly stolen the buttons and style of Amazon.

I personally prefer the good old fashioned crock pot.

You put a good portion of meat in, make sure the sauce is right, oh, I must say here, choose those meats and sauces carefully, they need to blend well and don't do the (americans know this) can of soup thing. It's gotta be a real gravy, hand made makes a difference. Then, enjoy the meal!

Bon appetite!

I got one of these Goerge Formby grills...

Turned out nice...

Can't give advice on the Juicer,
But from the amount that are on sale on ebay.de
they cant be all they are cracked up to be.

Get one flogger, and we can do a juice test. See if it really pumps out so much more juice to make it worth the 139 or whatever they are charging here. Mine cost 30 Euros or so and it does a decent enough job, but I have no comparison.

I just checked some specs and wow! The thing weighs 7 Kilos! If you don't get fit from drinking the juice, you'll get fit from lifting it up and down off the countertop.

Fresh juice is wonderful, man. Just don't make the mistake of downing a glass of veggie and then a glass of fruit at the same time.

Sorry, postings like this just want to make me ask why??

Whats going to happen?

P

seemingly the gases react in your stomach and you slowly swell but the gas can't escape because the acids in the citrus have caused your schpincter (sp?) muscles to cramp and you eventually rupture your spleen and start ozzing fuity/veggie bile out through your pores...

What crap. I hope you don't all actually believe this.

Sounds plausible to me

I've actually seen it happen - horrible it was...this vegetarian had a glass of OJ and literally melted in front of me...

I bought a juicer from Tchibo, it was quite cheap and I used it for a bit then gave it Herr Indoor's mum who now uses it to make jams and jellies from the stuff in her garden (she makes great jam btw).
Must admit that juice is not as healthy as you would think because you are missing out on the fibre by juicing. You will feel fuller for longer by actually eating the fruit instead and it is very easy to drink a lot of calories without realising/feeling full.
I don't need a George though, I have one of those cast-iron Le Creuset griddle pans, does the job extremely well and would also be effective as a weapon/weight training device.

PS Don't bother trying to use a juicer to get mango juice though, the things have too much fibrous flesh for it to work on a home machine. Melons work well though.

no really showem, there was this guy in brothers year at college whose sister was going out with a guy that it happened to!!!

he had to have reconstuctive surgery on his intestines... still has to eat through a tube...

Thank god for somebody with some sense. Proper quality kitchen goods, not some piece of TV shop tat peddled and sponsored by an aging nobody.
George bloody foremans crap grill thing. What a load of absolute bosh.

Surely it only happens if you "overdo" it though. I doubt you're going to cause your guts to burst open, John Hurt style, simply by drinking a glass of carrot juice followed by a glass of orange juice...

Le Creuset are the best. My parents got 2 pans as a wedding gift. They are still using them regularly and have been married for 44 years this year. Fantastic stuff.

Don't know about a ruptured spleen, but I'm positive it's possible. From my own experience:

• "Hey honey, this juicer you bought makes some rockin' stuff!"
• *assembles assorted veggies, and juices a 12oz glass*
• downs the concoction - "aahhh, that's delicious in this 105 degree desert heat!"
• "Hmm...bet some fruits would be super, too!"
• *assorted fruits: oranges, bananas, kiwis, apple, etc.*
• "Ahhh! What an excellent purchase!"
• *10 minute interlude*
• *Sudden onslaught of excrutiating constipation*
• *15 minutes of pure hell - frantic screams for help turning to weak murmers for Mommy*
• *Sudden rush to the toilet*
• *2 minutes of the sound of a couple gallons of milk being poured into the toilet bowl from a height of about 3 feet*
• *Extreme Nirvana-like relief - body nearly leaves earth orbit from the lightened load*

Well, I guess for any pleasure there must be pain first. Or is that only a German saying?

no pain no gain.

Erm no. Not seeing as you describe diarrhoea in rest of the post.
Yes I am picky.

Erm yes, seeing as how I couldn't go to the bathroom for a period even if I tried...

surely that's because your male ???

Oh that's all right then, as long as you are aware of it it won't annoy anybody
