KitchenAid 5KSM1JA Maximum Extraction Slow Juicer and Sauce Attachment (Optional Accessory for KitchenAid Stand Mixers)

Product Information

Two main complaints about the juicer are it ‘jams’ and the motor strains, sometimes to the point of over heating. This problem is mentioned above and often is a result of what produce you use, how it is prepared and how it is put through the juicer.

The company was founded in 1919. in the USA, and in the same year presented their first legendary stand mixer, which they are still famed for. Then came the dishwasher in 1949, and the KitchenAid has already built itself a name among the cooking community. What Else They Offer?KitchenAid started as a single product idea. Ohio based engineer, Herbert Johnston, designed and developed a kitchen mixer that would automate the process of mixing bread dough. The introduction of new products, innovative new designs, and a full gamut of colours to what was once the white goods industry, saw the US company cement themselves as one of the most iconic home goods design. KitchenAid KSM1JA masticating juicer & sauce attachment needs to be mounted on a KitchenAid stand mixer to work. Simply install it on the power hub on your stand mixer and power the mixer’s motor to operate this attachment. This attachment’s dimensions are 9.7 x 7 x 11.6 inches, and it weighs 4.8 pounds. A cold-press juicer makes juicer without heating it up. The rapidly spinning blades in a centrifugal juicer or blender generate heat and oxidize the juice, which can make it taste less fresh. The slower action of a masticating juicer doesn't raise the temperature and maintains more flavor. (Manual juicers are also cold-press juicers, as they don't heat the juice.) Their products fit into the lower medium price range, though it varies greatly and depends on the type of product you are looking for, and it varies slightly between models, but not too much. Where To Buy Their Products? The mixer may be the most iconic of KitchenAid products, but it is far from the only product available. Blenders and food processors offer a lot of the same functionality as mixers, while coffee makers, kettles, and toasters provide an ideal way to create great tasting breakfasts, every morning.

Also provided is a foam screen which fits the juice jug to strain seeds or particles and for less foam build-up. This is a masticating juicer which means it crushes fruit and veg to extract the juice, rather than centrifugal models which spin fast to get the juice out. We were impressed with the amount of juice produced from fruit and berries, with the KitchenAid scoring close to top marks in these tests. The resulting pulp was very dry and it was neatly pushed into the pulp container. We found the best juicer machines are a breeze to use, with wide chutes to put whole apples and oranges down. The wide feeder opening lets you put in larger pieces of fruit and vegetables and leafy greens, without having to slice them up. That will save you a lot of time and effort during preparation.The KitchenAid mixer that most of us recognise today is based on the K series of mixers that were designed by Egmont Arens in the 1930s. He was tasked with producing an affordable, streamlined version of the original KitchenAid, and the stand design was born. The silhouette of this design has an official patent, which means that if you want to enjoy the look and innovative design of this mixer, then you can only enjoy its true design with a KitchenAid. The KitchenAid Slow Juicer and Sauce Attachment – 5KSM1JA is remarkable in the world of kitchen appliances, offering convenience and versatility. This nifty attachment, designed to work seamlessly with your KitchenAid stand mixer, opens up a world of possibilities for health-conscious foodies and culinary enthusiasts alike.

So how does that groove filter work in practice? Pretty well, mostly. Our carrot-orange and strawberry-pineapple juices were both quite delicious, with a fine pulp that added some texture without being chewy. But it had more trouble with the green juice, leaving behind some unpleasant chunks of kale. All in all, the H101 could be a great choice if you make many different juices frequently—it saves a lot of time and effort on cleaning, but it's also quite pricy. A slider switch controls the function of the machine – there’s only one speed and a reverse to clear clogs, while the open or closed position of the pulp chute dictates whether the contents will be separated into juice and pulp or one mixture (when making sauce). For anyone looking to juice daily, even several times a day, a dedicated juicer is also a better option. The better quality juicers are built for this purpose, unlike the KitchenAid attachment. They will be more durable and able to handle a lot more juicing over time.Here are some slow juicers and fast juicers to consider. KitchenAid mixers and appliances are synonymous with style and quality. They give a durable, uncompromising performance to a commercial level but their iconic looks are a far cry from anything seen in a catering kitchen. The name supposedly came from one of the company directors’ wives, who described a new product she was testing as “the best kitchen aid” she’d ever had. And just like that, the KitchenAid brand was born.Juicers and blenders both chop, crush, or grind into small pieces, but a blender's goal is to combine everything into a puree, while a juicer seeks to separate the liquid from the solids. A good high-powered blender can make very uniform smoothies, but they include all the seeds, skins and flesh that you put in. With a juicer, you can add whole fruits and vegetables and end up with pulp-free, thinner liquid. For some people, this product will be a valuable investment. But for others, their money would definitely be better spent on a different type of juicer. If you don’t own a KitchenAid stand mixer then buying a stand alone juicer rather than this mixer-juicer attachment combination makes sense. Unless of course you will be using the stand mixer in many other ways to make your investment worthwhile.In this case, try a masticating juicer from this list or one of these centrifugal juicers.
