spreads, soups, frozen

puree's and

doughs.

The Magimix Food Processor is an affordable, powerful machine. Such a good product with the following uses: grating, slicing, meat,

blending, whizzing up milkshakes, emulsifying sauces, kneading brioche, dough or pastry, whipping cream or

whisking egg whites.

There are a variation of types of juicers. The two featured here are the Bosch centrifugal and the Omega Masticating.

A centrifugal juicer spins at high speeds and during the spinning motion, the vegetables that you have shoved down the chute are ground to a pulp. The spinning motion then forces the juice away from the pulp. The juice then pours into a bowl.

A masticating juicer grinds vegetables and literally squishes out the juice. Since a masticating juicer works at low speeds and with no spinning action,

it tends to juice many vegetables more efficiently.
