The Juicer Comparison Test on Getting Into Raw Cooking with Zane

Get to know your Optimum 400 and see it how stacks up in a comparison test against a centrifugal juicer with Zane Appleby and Rory Bland. 

Here is a little more information about the two types of juicers that should answer the FAQ's we've received about this comparison video: 

A centrifugal juicer chops up the fruit or vegetable with a flat cutting blade. It simultaneously spins the produce at a very high speed (of about 3,000 to 16,000 RPMs) to separate the juice from the pulp.

The juice is extracted by the sheer power of centrifugal force, very much like how a washing machine spins to relieve wet clothes of excess water, and this speed of the blades generates heat during the juicing process.

The juice then passes through the tiny holes in a strainer basket and are collected in a container to one side of the juicer. The pulp is separated using a "pulp ejector" feature, which means the spinning of the strainer basket throws pulp and any small unjuiced pieces of food into the waste container (in this video this is the black bucket on the left of the centrifugal juicer we used). 

Centrifugal juicers have large/wide feeding chute that allows for feeding of whole-fruit juicing that is said to help save time on preparation (as in the one you see here).

A slow juicer does not chop the fruits or vegetables at all, it simply squeezes or masticates the ingredients allowing the juice to be separated from the pulp with no heat or speed. 

Both juicers in this video where used following the instruction manual that was provided with the juicer. 

As a centrifugal juicer with a wide chute one of it's advertised features was the we need not chop the fruits or vegetables. In addition as the pulp ejector feature throws any smaller un-juiced pieces into the waste, we would actually have to even less yield and more of the fruit and vegetable wasted if we had of cut the pieces the same.
