We were recently given the opportunity to review a Citrus Juicer from Littlewoods; I said yes, with smoothie maker in my head and not quite sure (because I was reading in a poorly baby sleepless daze), what I had actually said yes to! However, once it arrived, Maddy eyed it up with delight, because although she loves making home made lemonade , the juicing bit is not her favourite thing!
So I sent them off with a bag of lemons, a bag of oranges, an iphone and told them to do their worst. And because we are addicted to iMovie, you get another silly video.
We probably do need to get out more 😉
In all seriousness, the girls loved this gadget. It is electric, therefore no effort after you sliced the fruit in half and operates by ‘juicing’ once you press the fruit down on to the top cone which presses the pole in the centre and makes it move. Instant juice with no fuss and much comic entertainment. I’m not entirely sure how it occupied them as long as it did, but I’m not complaining. It certainly made for very low wastage, as you can see from the empty skins, no pips (collected at the top) and a lovely juice with plenty of the ‘bits’ in 🙂
A definite kitchen gadget for the family who has everything (everything except, in our case, a decent kitchen!)
Looks fun and free stuff is always a bonus but I think in this house it would join the slow cooker, pressure cooker, tagine, fondue set, toasted sandwich maker, steamer etc etc that got bought as a good idea, used a few times (or not at all in a couple of cases) and put on top of the cupboards to collect dust.
Think I’ll stick to letting waitrose do the work and save on the washing up!
