Improvised Steam Juicer using a pasta pot

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 Presto Canner for the other one.

The Cast:

A pasta pot. The one in the pictures is the a Tramontina model from Wal-Mart. This exact model is no longer made.

A RevereWare bowl that just happens to fit into the pasta basket while allowing the steamer basket to still fit.

Be Aware:  Removing the juice bowl can be tricky! There is a lot of steam and hot liquid!

    • They worked well, but digging the juice collecting bowl out while it was hot was a dangerous exercise – that’s why I eventually bought real steam juicers.

  1. Thanks again for these improvise Juicer posts!

    RE Removing the Juice Bowl… In our case, I think it will be well worth drilling small holes, opposite one another, on the juicer rim and fitting a wire bail.

    Very inspirational!
