Welcome to the Healthy World of Steam Juicing
Congratulations! You have just made an excellent choice by purchasing the
Victorio Steam Juicer.
The Victorio Steam Juicer at a Glance
It’s a Steam Juicer — The gentle steam process gives you the rich savory
juices from grapes, apples, cherries, plums, pears, berries, currants, rhubarb,
tomatoes, etc., while preserving nature’s vitamins and fresh flavor. Simply
fill the water pan with water, place the fruit in the colander, cover with the
lid and heat on the stove. As the water boils, hot steam penetrates and opens
the fruit cells allowing the juice to drip into the juice kettle. About 60
minutes later, release the clamp and drain off the flavorful juice concentrate
through the drain tube.
It’s a Colander — The large 11 quart insert doubles as a colander that
quickly drains spaghetti, washed lettuce, vegetables and garden produce.
Using the Victorio Steam Juicer
•
Wash the Victorio Steam Juicer in warm water, soapy water before each
use. Pay special attention to hard-to-reach areas. Thoroughly clean the
drain tube and juice kettle. Keep your work area, all equipment, and
utensils clean.
•
Wash jars and check for nicks and cracks.
•
Always use fresh, ripe berries and fruit. Carefully wash fruit to remove
dirt from cracks and crevices. Check for blemishes and remove them as
needed. Rinse well. Apples and large fruits do not need to be peeled or
cored, but will extract juice quicker when cut into pieces. Washing grapes
and berries is not necessary, just rinse them well and remove the overripe
ones.
•
The fruit can be prepared with or without sugar. For a sweeter tasting
juice, add approximately 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar per pound of fruit.
Sprinkle the sugar throughout the fruit in the colander. Do not add sugar
directly to jars.
