I had heard of steam juicers but didn’t want to spend the money for one. I decided I needed to test out the concept and make my own. This is one of my improvised juicers. I used a pasta pot for this one and a pasta pot for the other one.
The cast:
17 quart Presto Pressure Canner
3 stainless bowls
stainless colander (5 quart, with handles squished in to fit)
small steamer basket (from a pressure cooker, actually (and no, I didn’t get the hard water film off before I took the pictures:)))
Be Aware: Removing the juice bowl can be tricky! There is a lot of steam and hot liquid!
Use the small steamer basket to get the juice bowl up out of the water:
Toss in the smaller of the two large bowls to collect the juice:
Add the smallest bowl to lift the colander out of the juice:
Add the colander:
And a lid to trap the steam:
May I just say…
!!! BRILLIANT !!!
Thanks for sharing!
Dave,
Thank you. While I eventually upgraded and bought a real steam juicer, this worked very well.
