Jack Lalanne Juicer
Small Specialty Kitchen Appliances - As Seen On Tv
There are many small kitchen appliances to help create delicious meals, snacks, and desserts in the kitchen. We see many of these handy items advertised on television on commercials and infomercials.
A few that come to mind are the Ultimate Chopper, George Foreman Grill, Ronco Rotisserie Grill, Jack LaLanne Juicer, GT Express 101, and the Pasta Express. Watching the infomercials on these As Seen On TV Products makes your mouth water watching the awesome foods they create.
The Ultimate Chopper is a compact food processor that slices dices and chops. What can you do with the Ultimate Chopper? Puree carrots to make your own baby food. Pulverize peanuts into creamy homemade peanut butter. Grate hard cheese, chop onions and other vegetables for salads. Grind your own meats. Turn regular table sugar into powered sugar. Create quick snacks like salsa and other dips. Crush ice. With the blender attachment you can create exotic drinks and smoothies. These are just a few things you can do with the ultimate chopper.
The George Foreman Grill is an awesome product for making quick meals. It is reasonable priced and helps to remove fat when grilling. It is great for cooking bacon, hot dogs, hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Here is an easy grilled chicken breast recipe. Marinate skinless, boneless chicken breast in italian dressing for at least 3 hours preferably over night. Grill on the George Foreman Grill for 4 to 5 minutes. The color of cooked chicken is not a sign of its safety to eat. Use a food thermometer to determine that chicken has reached a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F throughout.
The Ronco Rotisserie Grill is great for cooking beef, chicken and pork roasts. It is known for the slogans "set it and forget it".
With the Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer you can create very tasty healthy juices. What will be your favorite grapefruit delight, kiwi surprise, papaya magic or the very simple orange juice?
The GT Express 101 can cook meals in just 7 minutes. The GT Xpress 101 has non stick cooking chambers both top and bottom so no need for turning. Cool meals, snacks, desserts and delicious low carb food in less time.
The Pasta Express is a very basic kitchen tool for making boiled hot dogs and pasta dishes. It can also be used for storage.
These products make our lives simpler in the kitchen and can be just plain fun to use. What will be the next new kitchen appliance we will see advertised on an infomercial?

Have you ever used a Jack Lalanne Power Juicer?
I got one for Christmas last year and it's still in the box - I'm not really big on juice but figured it may be time to check it out. Anyone like theirs and have creative uses for it?
I have a Jack Lalanne Power Juicer as well. I use it on occasion but it mostly collects dust. The reason is that I prefer to eat the whole fruit or vegetable, I don't like to clean the machine and I have a small kitchen with limited counter space for a big item like the juicer. My children are grown and gone so I am not trying to sneak fruits and vegetables into them with healthy juice. Also I don't like the clean up afterwards when I could eat a whole carrot or two and have no mess to clean up.
I think I would use it more if I could make enough juice for a couple days at one shot and keep it in the refrigerator. This would seem more efficient and one cleaning of the juicer for several days would work better. I just hate to have to clean the whole machine for two glasses of juice, one for me and one for my husband. When I tried to make more juice and store it, it just wasn't very good the next day and I am sure much of the nutrient value was lost.
If you have several people in your house hold and getting kids to eat veggies is difficult then it can be a great thing. If it is just for yourself, unless you are adverse to eating vegetables and fruits raw in salad or as snacks, I think the juicer is not really efficient.
Just my two cents...
