Not all houses have such useful adaptation as the steam juicer. Meanwhile, everyone wants to drink fresh house juice from fruit almost, especially in the summer when before many hostesses there is question: what to do with collected apples, pears or apricots? It is possible to shake purse and yet to buy the expensive device for cooking of house juice. And it is possible to make it independently. The steam juicer the hands becomes literally in ten minutes and can be assembled, in literal sense, from improvised materials. Occupation it can do to any hostess: this process does not demand any specific skills.
It is required to you
- Deep and wide pan (the bigger volume, the better);
- colander, sieve or support for warming up of food on couple;
- container, on width smaller, than pan;
- gauze or fine fabric;
- soup plate or bowl.
Instruction
1. Before making the steam juicer with own hands, examine the kitchen accessories and think what from them can be useful to you. As parts practically any subject can be used, there are no tough rules here.
2. Pour into pan a little water (enough 2-3 cm of depth – the main thing that when boiling enough steam was formed).
3. Any steam juicer, regardless of complexity, consists of only three parts: pallet for for raw materials; the converter which is the container with the boiling water from which steam climbs special pipe to fruit; and container for collecting ready juice. In store steam juicers from it outside there is by-pass tube on which juice flows down in substituted bank at once. In house conditions to make such design will be with some difficulty. Therefore it is better to manage simpler option in which after each 2-3 bookmarks it will be necessary container with ready-made product it is necessary to get and, having emptied in in advance prepared capacity, to establish back.
4. Take soup plate, invert it and put in pan so that the bottom acted from water a little. Or, if there is no suitable ware, use any clean heat-resistant support. For example, I have taken support for preparation of products on couple.
5. On the formed "pedestal" place container in which juice when cooking will flow down. Its diameter has to be less, than the pan size. The principle is simple: the rising steam will drench the fruit lying over container, and the juice emitted by them will begin to flow down in the substituted capacity. If this container is too wide, for steam there will be few place, and useful exit from fruit will be small. And too narrow bowl, on the contrary, will not be able to collect all juice which it will be useless to flow away in water.
6. Further it is necessary to establish "grid" on which, actually, and fruit will lie. Options of production of this grid set. I usually use the normal colander put directly on the container intended for juice. Though equally well it can be big metal sieve, perforated support for preparation of steam products and even the normal gauze tied over pan. Any subject through which juice will be able to flow down freely down perfectly will be suitable for production of the home steam juicer.
7. Now pick up suitable cover. It has to adjoin to pan that all formed steam remained inside densely. The vacuum cover perfectly will be suitable for this purpose. The main thing, you watch that between it and fruit there was gap at least in several centimeters.
8. The home steam juicer is ready. Now it was necessary only to put fruit, to powder them with small amount of sugar and to light fire under pan. In total in half an hour you will be owner of several hundred milliliters tasty (and, above all, absolutely natural!) juice.
