What Is A Juicer?
A juicer is a kitchen appliance designed with one specific purpose in mind. That one specific purpose is to extract the liquid from fruits.

In addition, there are basically two types of juicers. One type of juicer is called a masticating juicer. Masticating simply means to chew. This appliance chews up the fruit. The end product of this process is a type of pureed product such as butter or a spread type product.
The other type is a centrifugal juicer operates like a laboratory centrifuge. The blades within the juicer operate at a high-speed and extract the pulp or fiber. The pulp or fiber is captured in a waste container attached to the appliance.
