Alright!
This is John Kohler with DiscountJuicers.com.
Today we have another exciting episode for you, and this is the world’s first.
It’s the first time you guys are gonna see it on YouTube.
A demonstration of the all new Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer.
“What’s a whole slow juicer, John?”
you might be thinking.
You know, I’ve seen a lot of slow juicers all the different brands made vertical auger
juicers.
This world’s first right here, you guys are seeing it first on my channel where I’m
demonstrating it and showing it to you guys.
The special thing about this, unlike any other slow juicer in the world at this point—three
inch wide large whole fruit and vegetable feed chute.
So what does this mean for you?
This means more convenience.
Many of you guys may be familiar with the wide mouth feed chute juicers and many of
you guys like that because you can put hole apples.
Well, guess what, with the Kuvings whole slow juicer, you can also fit whole apples and
a whole lot of other produce in there, so that you can get healthier.
What I’m gonna do today is share with you more about this Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer,
juice a whole bunch of stuff, and not even have to use a knife to prepare.
That is the beauty of the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer.
You will virtually not have to use your knife except on some leafy greens and maybe some
celery.
But for the majority of the things you’ll be juicing—carrots, apples, cucumbers, romaine
hearts, even beets, you’re gonna juice beets just fine—you don’t have to do any cutting.
You will have to use the pusher in some instances.
Now, Kuvings is making a vertical slow juicer for many years now, and this is their latest
design.
So they built on their standard smaller chute vertical juicer, and they basically made it
even better by making it a wide feed chute.
They actually have a special patent on the screw inside the machine which makes this
work.
This is different than any other slow juicer out there.
You can’t just take a vertical slow juicer, put a wide feed chute and expect it to work.
It’s not.
It’s gonna clog, it’s gonna jam up.
They’ve specifically designed this screw that has a patent on it to accept the product
and work, and work amazingly, it does.
I’ve been testing this machine all day yesterday and it worked without a hitch.
As so as I get one of these machines, it’s gonna be my number one juicer that I’m gonna
be using on my counter because it is so convenient.
And you know, what’s the point of buying your juicer if you buy one and it sits on
your counter, because you got to sit there and push the produce in or because you dread
cutting all the produce into little small pieces and feeding it in.
with this, it’s gonna actually reduce your juicing time.
Because think about it, when you’re cutting produce to put in the juicer, not only are
you losing some of the valuable juices and nutrition inside the fruit and vegetable you’re
juicing, because it’s coming out on your cutting board and that’s not ending up in
your juice, you’re also, when you’re cutting, oxidizing.
So we all know when you take an apple and you cut it up, right, you leave the apple
on your counter for a couple hours, it’s gonna turn brown.
Hopefully you’re not cutting up your apples and leaving them on your counters for ours
before you juice them, but even within half hour, by the time you cut your apples and
you’re ready to juice them, there’s some oxidation occurring and that’s gonna lower
the nutrition.
With the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer, no cutting is required, so literally, you’re gonna
put whole apples in and get the most amount of nutrition in the juice that you’re making.
And that’s the beauty of this machine.
Also, this machine has about a three horse power equivalent of motor, which is very powerful,
and they also upped the torque on this machine to really have the power to snap apples and
to snap carrots to get them to feed into the juicer.
Because when you’re putting in big pieces of produce, this one needs to be more powerful
than the standard machines that can accept smaller amount of produce at a time.
In addition, this unity has a nice ten year warrantee.
I always encourage you guys to buy a juicer with a long warrantee, a long warrantee is
your assurance that the machines gonna be around for years to come, and that you’ll
be able to juice for the next, in this case, ten years without having to worry if it breaks
and you’ll be out of juice on day or if something happens.
Because juicing is the most important thing you can do to increase your health.
The fact of the matter is clear, most Americans simply to not eat enough fresh fruits and
fresh vegetables.
And with the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer, it makes it easy, possible to include more fresh
foods in your diet.
Even if you’re in other stuff during the day, at least getting some fresh fruits and
vegetables in rather than none is much better.
And I like that it makes it really simple.
In addition to size juicing the standard of vegetables, we’re gonna be making a romaine
lettuce green juice today.
It’ll also juice the fruits.
So it’s amazing juicing fruits with the wide feed chute, because once again you don’t
have to cut.
In addition, there will be an attachment to do frozen banana sorbets.
So I’m into getting you guys to eat as much fruits and vegetables as you can.
And this machine definitely makes it possible.
So without further ado, let’s get into actually show you guys how to juice whole in the Kuvings
Whole Slow Juicer.
Super easy.
We will have to use the pusher a little bit to kind of get the stuff to go in the machine
as needed.
This juicer works on a very simple principle, some people may call it a masticating juicer,
I tend to call it a single auger slow juicer, and that’s completely different than a masticating
juicer.
If you look up masticating in the dictionary, it means chewing.
This machine does not chew, it literal crushes and squeezes all the juice out.
And it does that at a slow 80RPMs or revolutions per minute.
What this means is you’re gonna maximize the amount of nutrition in the juice.
Through this special design, it allows the juice to come out the front of the machine
and has a special stopper here to prevent leakage and drips and also to use it as a
mixing feature to mix juices and other things inside the machine, and the pulp comes out
over on this side.
So it’s very simple and easy to clean up after you’re all done.
It also has inside the machine an automatic wiping blade system.
This is like the windshield wipers on your car—imagine if your car didn’t have windshield
wipers.
You wouldn’t be able to see in the rain.
Well, with the wiping blade on the inside of the machine, what it does it literally
keeps the screen clean to assure you you’re gonna get the highest amount of juice out
of the produce you’re juicing.
Because if the screen gets clogged, then the juice is not flowing through there.
One of the challenges with all vertical auger juicers and slow juicers in general is that
they tend to make a lot of pulp in the juice.
So you will need to purchase the additional strainer if you want to reduce some of the
pulp.
So be aware of that.
I guess, without further ado, let’s go ahead and turn this machine on.
You guys can hear how quiet it is.
That’s another thing I like about the slow juicers.
Those high speed juicers?
RRRRRRR!
They could sound like an airplane taking off in your kitchen.
Not with the Kuvings whole slow juicer.
It’s nice and silent.
So you can juice when your kids are asleep, when your mate is asleep in the other room,
when your roommates are asleep.
You’re not gonna wake them up really early in the morning.
So there go, we have this turned on.
And that’s the beauty of this machine, right.
Here’s all the produce here, I’m not using the knife to cut any of it.
I’m putting it in all whole.
First, we’re gonna juice a cucumber.
And you can juice whole cucumbers up to three inches in diameter.
We’re gonna just drop it in the machine, push it just a little bit down in there.
Because a cucumber’s so soft, we’re gonna go ahead and use the pusher.
Lining up the dots, and it’s just gonna go right in the machine and spin off the last
and juice all the delicious cucumber.
Alright so we got that entire cucumber juiced.
Now, what you’re seeing here is that inside that one whole cucumber, it juiced about 300ml
of juice, and that’s probably about 9oz or so, and we have the stopper plugged, so
we’re gonna undo the stopper, and look at all that fresh cucumber juice coming out of
the Kuvings whole juicer.
Next we’re gonna juice a cucumber that you guys may not know about.
These guys are my favorite, this one’s actually from my very garden.
This is called a lemon cucumber.
I enjoy juicing and growing the lemon cucumbers much more than the standard cucumbers.
These guys do not have the bitter skin.
They also tend to be a little bit sweeter than the standard cucumbers.
Now, they don’t taste like lemons, they just kind of look like them.
Plus they’re really simple and easy to juice, better than juicing long fruits and vegetables
in the Kuvings whole slow juicer.
It’s best to juice things like this, nice round things.
So literally what we’re gonna do is drop this guy in there, push it past the safety
cutting baled and drop it in.
and what’s really cool it—and I’ll show you guys a close up on this—once you put
something in the machine, you’re gonna see it kind of just like kind of just get chewed
up inch by inch inside the machine and totally get accepted down.
I do not recommend “Oh, I know there’s something in there!”
and jamming the pusher down.
If you do use the pusher, you want to just do a nice pumping action up and down.
The other thing you’ll notice is that on this pusher, you line up the white dot with
the white dot.
It goes in, it’s gonna kind of go in and spin because it kind of needs to not push
the produce straight down because the augers turning.
It needs to kinda positon it and make the vegetable or fruit you’re going kind of
turn into the juicer so that the auger can grab it and suck it in the machine.
So that’s a little bit different than most vertical augers.
But as you guys can see, there’s nothing left in the feed chute, and we have a lot
of delicious cucumber juice in.
next what we’re gonna juice is romaine hearts.
Romaine hearts are one of my favorite things to juice.
The romaine hearts we’re juicing primarily for the nice, water-rich stock down here.
And yes, of course, we’re gonna get some of the juice out of the leafy greens.
Leafy greens are one of the most important things you guys should be juicing.
And with the Kuvings whole slow juicer, it’s gonna do an amazing job so that I will not
have to cut this up.
Check it out.
We’re gonna feed it with the leaf side first.
The whole thing right into the machine.
Once again, we’re just gonna take our pusher, line up the dots, gently push this guy right
in.
goes right in and check it out, we’re making some delicious lettuce leaf juice.
One of the things I recommend when making a green juice, you want to add something for
sweetness.
Many people cannot handle straight greens, although the lettuce and cucumber’s a nice
mild combination that’s gonna be really good.
You also want to add something like apple for sweetness.
If you are juice apples, I highly encourage you guys to put out the Granny Smith apples
when juice in any vertical or single auger style machine.
The granny smith apples seem to retain their texture better when it’s just been—they
don’t get all soft and mushy.
If you’re juicing soft and mushy apples that you can press into and your thumb will
make an indentation, then you’re gonna make more of an applesauce in the slow machines.
That’s just the design of them.
So you want to get Granny Smiths and you want to get nice, firm apples no matter what kind
of apple you get.
So we’re just gonna drop one whole apple in here.
And we’re just gonna go ahead and push it past the little safety cutting blade.
It kind of puts a hole in it.
And as you guys can see, it’s rotating around in the machine, kind of grabbing it one piece
at a time.
It’s kind twirling around.
It’s taking bites and bites like we would take a bit out of it, and juicing it.
And this is very important for the juicer to work properly.
It’s not just taking the whole apple and sucking it in and smashing everything.
It’s taking one bite off at a time and it’s juicing it in a slow manner.
Does an amazing job.
Next we’re gonna go ahead and take another apple.
So I think we have a Gala apple, nice and firm and crisp.
Once again, drop that in the machine, gently push it in past the safety cutting blade there.
And let the machine work at it.
Now we’re not sitting there just shoving it in, because if you show things in too fast
in any vertical slow juicer, it’s gonna basically ensure you get more pulp in your
juice and it may actually cause some blockages.
So remember, even though you have a wide feed chute on this machine, you want to keep it
slow and you want to slow down a little bit and not just jam stuff in as fast as you can,
right.
Slow down.
It’s good for your health.
The last thing we’re gonna juice today are actually whole beets.
So this is really cool.
Many people always ask “John!
Can the vertical slow juicers juice beets?”
They absolutely can.
And with the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer, you don’t even need to cut your beets.
And one of the cool things is we’re actually gonna juice the beet greens at the same time
we’re juicing the beet.
We’re just gonna put it in.
now normally, I recommend that for all leafy greens and celery, you need to cut them up
into small little pieces so it does not clog the outlet feet chute on any vertical slow
juicer.
Now because we are juicing the beets and the leafy greens at the end of this juicing session,
if it does block up the hole, it’s not that much of a consequence.
The consequence is if you did this in the beginning, then your hole gets clogged then
you try to juice everything else, then it’s not gonna work properly.
So check it out, one whole beet into the Kuvings Whole Juicer.
Alright, dropping it right in there.
Taking chunks of that beet, smashing it, and literally crushing and squeezing all the juice
out and check it out.
Suck all those leafy greens right in without even having to use the pusher.
Now that’s amazing.
And check it out, we’re getting that nice, delicious dark beet juice coming out.
Many athletes these days want to drink some beet juice because it has to do something
with increasing your athletic performance.
I think that’s great.
It’d rather do like an apple beet juice because it’s a lot more mild.
Juicing straight beets can get pretty strong.
Checking down in the feed chute, looks like most of the produce in there has gotten juiced.
It’s done an amazing job of reducing your produce residue inside the feed chute.
Don’t be tempted to shove your hand in “Oh I can just get that in!” or “I can use
a knife to push that in!”
into the machine to get it all the juice.
Only use your pusher, once again, to dislodge any produce.
Another thing you may want to use is like a carrot or something to kind of like shove
all the produce that’s stuck up in this area to get it in, and then at the same time
also juice the carrot.
This has done an amazing job.
Let’s go ahead and turn this guy off.
One of the things I like about the little stopper here is that once you’re done juicing,
you’re gonna push this stopper in.
this’ll prevent your juicer from dripping on your countertop.
Alright, so now that we have our fresh juice, next thing to do is to try it out.
So we got a little glass here.
It’s nice to use a wine glass or some other glass to pour your juices in.
check it out.
Nice, fine consistency on this green juice.
This is gonna be fairly sweet, because once again we did the romaine and the cucumber,
which is nice and mild.
We did some apples for some sweetness and some beets for the nice red color.
I encourage you, highly actually, to drink this instead of drinking wine.
Mm! juice deliciousness made in the all knew Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer.
Now, this juicer’s not yet available, so don’t say “John!
How can I order that machine?!”
It’s not gonna be available until the first part of 2014.
So if you are in the market for a slow juicer, you may want to wait for it.
