To use the Ejwox fruit press, start by preparing your fruits. You can use a variety of fruits such as apples, grapes, berries, or any other fruits that you want to extract juice from. Wash the fruits thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. If needed, remove any stems or pits from the fruits.
Next, you will need to crush the fruits to release their juices. There are various ways to do this, depending on the type of fruit and the equipment you have. For softer fruits like berries, you can simply use a fork or a masher to crush them. For harder fruits like apples or grapes, you may need to use a blender or a food processor to break them down into smaller pieces.
Once your fruits are crushed, it's time to load them into the barrel cage of the fruit press. The barrel cage is a cylindrical container with small holes that allow the juice to flow out while retaining the pulp and seeds. Open the fruit press and place the crushed fruits inside the barrel cage. Be careful not to overfill it, as this can make it difficult for the juice to flow out.
After loading the fruits, close the fruit press and secure it tightly. Make sure all the parts are properly aligned and locked in place. This will prevent any leakage during the pressing process.
Now, it's time to start pressing the fruits. Locate the metal handle attached to the press plate and rotate it downward. As you rotate the handle, the press plate will apply pressure on the fruits, squeezing out the juice. You can continue rotating the handle until you feel that most of the juice has been extracted.
As you press the fruits, you will notice that the juice will start to pour out from the spout of the fruit press. Make sure you have a container or a collection vessel placed under the spout to catch the juice. You can also place a strainer or a cheesecloth over the container to filter out any pulp or solids.
Continue pressing the fruits until you are satisfied with the amount of juice extracted. The amount of time needed may vary depending on the type and quantity of fruits you are using. It's a good idea to monitor the process and adjust the pressure or rotation as needed.
Once you are done pressing the fruits, carefully open the fruit press and remove the barrel cage. You can then empty the remaining pulp and seeds from the barrel cage and clean it thoroughly for future use.
The Ejwox fruit press is a simple and efficient tool for extracting juice from various fruits. By following these steps, you can easily use the press to enjoy freshly squeezed fruit juice at home. Cheers!
