KitchenAid 5KSM1JA Maximum Extraction Slow Juicer and Sauce Attachment (Optional Accessory for KitchenAid Stand Mixers)

Product Information

Several design features make the juicing process as easy as possible. A scooped hopper at the top makes it simple to pile in small items, such as berries, without them scattering, and a removable drip tray at the bottom means there’s minimal splashes on the main body of the machine to clean up. The blades are built into an auger with a screw-style thread running around it and holes for fingers to safely hold it, which slices fruit and vegetables before squeezing out the juice. And remember, masticating juicers are slow juicers, including this one. It is important not torush it. What You Get and How Your Juicer Attachment Works In contrast, there are plenty of people who love the ease of using this juicing attachment with the mixer. In particular, anyone who is also using it for saucing, canning and jam making found it to be a great asset. Is It A Waste of Money? The Verdict

Owning a KitchenAid stand mixer is like having your own superpower in the kitchen. They are a high quality product that make the task of mixing, whisking and baking a pleasure. When it comes to cleaning, this juicer has lots of parts that all have to be washed by hand. Everything is simple to take apart and the kit includes a brush and scraper that are really effective in removing debris, but the whole process is time-consuming. One other small but annoying issue is that despite all those other accessories, the Greenstar Elite doesn't include a cup to hold pulp. (It's easy enough to put your own measuring cup under the chute, but what gives?) This juicer attachment is shaped like a minimal plastic bowl with a juicing cone inside. Since it is mounted vertically on the mixer, the funnel is facing down and above it is the strainer that filters the pits and pulp from the juice flowing into a bowl or pitcher of whatever you put under it.

Masticating juicers come in two basic formats: vertical and horizontal. The first feeds food into the auger from above, and the second from the side. We didn't find any consistent differences in performance or price between the two orientations, so this is all down to aesthetic preference and where you plan to store the juicer. Horizontal units take up more counter space, but vertical ones might be too tall to fit under kitchen cabinets. With its high price, this is definitely a juicer for someone who's going to use it all the time, but it does come with lots of accessories that expand its abilities. It can make nut butters, sorbets, pâté, and perfectly smooth sauces, and it comes with pasta nozzles that let it (kind of) replace a pasta machine. The Greenstar Elite made great juices in all of our tests, but its yields were quite low and it left behind pretty wet pulp, which is especially disappointing for such an expensive machine. KitchenAid mixers come in different shapes and sizes but the most popular is undoubtedly the Artisan mixer. This powerful stand mixer is reliable, fast and versatile, with a quiet ten-speed motor, patented planetary mixing technology for thorough mixing and bright, fun colour designs - you’ll find pink, blue and even orange KitchenAid Artisan mixers to choose from. Looking for something to fit into a compact kitchen? The KitchenAid mini mixer has all the benefits of the standard KitchenAid Artisan mixer but it’s conveniently 25% lighter and 20% smaller. Process this Juicers and blenders both chop, crush, or grind into small pieces, but a blender's goal is to combine everything into a puree, while a juicer seeks to separate the liquid from the solids. A good high-powered blender can make very uniform smoothies, but they include all the seeds, skins and flesh that you put in. With a juicer, you can add whole fruits and vegetables and end up with pulp-free, thinner liquid. KitchenAid slow juicer attachment is a trend that is fast-catching because people are starting to realize it’s healthier to have slow juicers than the use of traditional centrifugal juicers, which cause friction, hitting while juicing, and harming the primary nutrients in the juices.

Designed to reduce prep time and give optimum yield while keeping unwanted foam to a minimum, the two-stage juicing process ensures great results and the extra-wide 2-in-1 feed tube accommodates a huge variety of soft, hard and leafy fruits, herbs and vegetables. At this point, 90 years after they started, KitchenAid now offers a wide variety of products that fit into the kitchen equipment category. They sell cookware, appliances, ranges, refrigerators, tools and cooking utensils and much more. What Is Their Price Range? After her death, Cochrane's company was bought out by KitchenAid and, in 1950, when residential properties had adequate plumbing to be able to handle the new appliance, they became a fixture in modern homes. Like the stand mixer, the dishwasher has retained the same basic design, and is among the larger appliances that KitchenAid now manufactures and sells. But, the attachment is definitely not suitable for everyone for a couple of reasons. Depending on your juicing plans, it could be a good buy, or it could be a waste of money.Smoothness is a personal choice, so we've made sure to highlight the best juicers for smooth juice, and the best for those who like bits in their juice. Ease of use A cold-press juicer makes juicer without heating it up. The rapidly spinning blades in a centrifugal juicer or blender generate heat and oxidize the juice, which can make it taste less fresh. The slower action of a masticating juicer doesn't raise the temperature and maintains more flavor. (Manual juicers are also cold-press juicers, as they don't heat the juice.) Manual juicers, generally used only on limes, lemons, and other citrus fruits, come in several varieties. A handheld squeezer has two hinged arms that crush citrus, yielding juice efficiently if slowly. A reamer sits on the counter, with a ridged cone-shaped piece that squeezes juice out of the fruit into an attached basin. For high-volume manual juicing, there are citrus presses that mount to a wall or counter. These are basically larger versions of the handheld squeezer, with a single arm that juices citrus halves extra-fast. (Manual juicers are also a great way to get juice out of pomegranates.) This type of juicer slices and then proceeds to process the ingredients, mashing them into a fine compound, which ensures the amount of juice extracted from the ingredients is maximum possible.

Also provided is a foam screen which fits the juice jug to strain seeds or particles and for less foam build-up. This is a masticating juicer which means it crushes fruit and veg to extract the juice, rather than centrifugal models which spin fast to get the juice out. There are two main types of electric juicers: masticating and centrifugal. Masticating juicerswork slowly, crushing the fruits and vegetables rather than rapidly chopping them to pieces. This is quieter, keeps the juice from heating up, and can retain more nutritional content, but masticating juicers are generally the most expensive type. Centrifugal juicers use fast-rotating blades to shred ingredients, separating out the juice via a spinning mesh filter. These are cheaper than masticating models, but they don't separate out as much juice from the pulp. The blades can also heat the juice, which damages some of the flavor components that give it fresh taste. Masticating" means "chewing," and that's basically what a masticating juicer does to fruits and veggies. Also known as a cold-press or slow juicer, a masticating juicer uses a rotating screw-shaped auger to mash ingredients into a fine pulp and then separate out the liquid from the solids. The slow pace and thorough crushing of a masticating juicer extract a lot of liquid, and it doesn't heat up the juice or whip air into it like the fast-moving blade of a centrifugal model. This makes for juice that tastes fresher and may even retain more nutrients. What is the difference between centrifugal and masticating juicers? The worst? They are fiddly, felt overengineered and require ingredients to be chopped up into tiny pieces first to squeeze down the food chute. Cleaning A slider switch controls the function of the machine – there’s only one speed and a reverse to clear clogs, while the open or closed position of the pulp chute dictates whether the contents will be separated into juice and pulp or one mixture (when making sauce).Anti-drip spout The spout should stop any remaining juice inside the machine from dripping onto your worktop after you've finished juicing. Look out for a drip-stop spout – this works by flipping upwards and tends to be the most effective. KitchenAid is literally an icon of American design, having been selected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to join their hall of iconic design fame. Juicers range from small, handheld citrus presses that can fit in a kitchen drawer and handle half a lime at a time, to serious appliances that take up a good bit of counter space but can take down a large bowl of fruits and veggies all at once. KitchenAid food processors are another customer favourite that blend style with performance. These multifunctional machines can handle everything from chopping to slicing and dicing - both soft and hard foods. KitchenAid food processors are powerful preppers and there are different sizes to choose from to suit your space. The Artisan food processor can whip, knead and more, so you can get really creative in the kitchen, but if you’re after something smaller to handle the basics, a KitchenAid Chopper fits the bill without breaking the bank. Make more The KitchenAid maximum slow healthy electric juicer comes with three different pulp screen filters, which means you get to choose how pulpy your outcoming juice will be. You can use the densest filter to keep out most of the pulp, the medium for low pulpiness, and the weakest one for adding more pulp to your outcoming result.

A good design isn't enough to create a successful company, and innovation will only take you so far. KitchenAid has maintained its reputation for decades thanks to its dedication to providing durable and high-quality items.Cleanup is a breeze too, thanks to the easy-to-disassemble design and dishwasher-safe components. The durable materials used in its construction ensure longevity, making it a worthwhile investment for any kitchen. This juicer features a 3-in-1 adjustable pulp screen, which lets you set it on one of thee options. This allows you to adjust the amount of pulp that comes out with the juice. Use low-pulp for clear juices, medium for soups, and high for sauces and such. Despite the big power, the Breville Cold had similar trouble with spinach and other leafy veggies as the Compact, so it might not be an ideal choice for fans of green juice.
