  anything for soy milk?

  • 

    Store Repslowjuicer @ Slow Juicer Australia on 23/09/2013 - 10:38

    All the slow juicers can be used to make soy milk - you would just need to pre-soak or pre-boil the soybeans before juicing them in the juicer and adding milk.

      I didnt quite get you.. Why would you add milk in soymilk? Arent we supposed to add water?

        You can add water or you can add milk. Some of the juicer recipes ask for just water, others recommend adding milk. It's personal preference I suppose, but either water or milk works.

        wow if you're lactose intolerant i'm sure you'll have the logic to not add milk to this so that you don't shit soy beans all over the place.

    Store Repslowjuicer @ Slow Juicer Australia on 23/09/2013 - 11:12

    We don't have the Hurom 700 at the moment.. only the Hurom 300 (sold out), 400 and 500 models :)

  I am still confused whether I should get a slow juicer or a good mixer like a vitamix style. I am not certain/convinced about the real science behind the oxidation and loss of nutrients in using a high speed blade mixer vs less oxidation and loss of fibre etc in a slow juicer. Does anyone have/know of a link to any valid science papers on this? Appreciated. So, the question is.. slow juicer or excellent blender? I can't afford both.

    Hmm to be honest every time I read one scientific paper around juicing or organic or something along those lines I then find other scientific papers saying the exact opposite.

    That being said however, all my healthy friends / nutritionists always go for the cold pressed / slow juicers.

    The arguement is that the centufuge / high powered juices destroy some of the micro organisms and nutrients. Also some juices filter out all the pulp where a lot of the goodness is.

    I use a blender and add a bit of water but again am told the blender blades might be destroying some of the good stuff but at least theres no pulp waste.

    I'll probably get a slow juicer next but not sure which one, good if you share it in a house though and all put in a bit of moolah.

    Also make sure it is easy to wash, some of them are hard work!

    Hi lukeloop,

    I have to admit I don't have any scientific papers that I can provide for proof, but I'll start searching ;)

    The idea behind the loss of nutrients and oxidation with high speed juicers is the speed of the juicer when juicing. With traditional high speed juicers, because it introduces more oxygen into the juicing process, the juice oxidises much quicker and the juice separates soon after juicing. It will have less nutrients and you would have to drink the juice right after juicing to prevent further loss of nutrients. High speed juicers also don't generally juice vegetables or greens well, whereas slow juicers can.

    With slow juicers, the process is slower and by crushing / squeezing, much less oxygen is introduced into the juicing process so oxidation does not occur. The juice that you get in the end retains much more of its nutrients than high speed juicers. And with slow juicers you can keep the juice in the fridge for longer without it separating and without it losing the rest of its nutrients.

    However, blenders like the Vitamix are not actually juicers. Juicers separate the juice from the pulp. Blenders like the Vitamix blend everything including the pulp, breaking fibres apart in the process.

    So before you buy a juicer or blender, consider what you want to make with it. A blender will be great for things like smoothies and soups, whereas with a slow juicer or high speed juicer, you won't be able to make those.

    This wasn't exactly the answer you were looking for but just wanted to give some explanation on the differences between slow juicers vs high speed juicers vs blenders. If I come across any scientific papers I'll post them here!

      Thanks for your response. I will need to hold off my judgement until I can determine an estimated difference in
      a) the juice oxidises much quicker
      b) It will have less nutrients
      c) oxidation does not occur

      Some of these statements have not been substantiated to my satisfaction due to the obvious yet gently biased comments I have read on both sides of the coin. I also understand that juicers and blenders serve different purposes in the end, however when it comes to claims which are not quantitative in nature I become skeptical in accepting either one.

      I will continue my quest.

  I read a review of juicers from Choice and they did mention that oxidisation is significantly less likely to occur in slow juicers when compared to normal juicers after 48 hours, however there's marginal difference when it comes to nutritional value

  Guess depends if you want to drink the juice straight away or plan on storing it

  What's the difference between 300 and 400 Pro?

  • 

    Store Repslowjuicer @ Slow Juicer Australia on 23/09/2013 - 15:34

    The Hurom 300 is the most basic model and comes with one strainer and no juice outlet cap. In terms of the motor, juice quality and warranty, it is really the same as the Hurom 400.

    The Hurom 400 is exactly the same as the Hurom 300 with the only difference being in the look of the body. The Hurom 400’s parts are also dishwasher safe, which you may find useful if you’re juicing very regularly.

    We don't have an ETA at the moment unfortunately! Sorry. But the most similar model is the Matstone http://www.slowjuicer.com.au/juicers/matstone-6-in-1-multipu… exactly the same functions and made in the same factory and same manufacturer.

  So I've been looking at getting the Hurom 400 but I'm pretty sure it was $329 about 1 or 2 days ago. This seems like a price increase rather than a special!

  I think I'm going for this Sharp one for $299

    You're right, it was. I commented on that in the thread you linked to. I was tossing up between that one and the Sharp, but this makes the decision a little bit easier. I'm still investigating other avenues though. This Hurom company to me doesn't sound very pro-consumer.

  I ended up getting a HU700 from Myer today for $409. Their retail price is $499, but they had a one weekend sale, $15 off every $75 on kitchen appliances. That's a $90 discount, which makes it even cheaper than the HU500 here.

  I notice there is some pulp in my juice. Not sure if that is normal?
