The DASH Deluxe Compact Masticating Slow Juicer, from here on, the “Dash juicer”, is an inexpensive but very useful juicer.
The Dash juicer became Chloe’s favorite juicer after the first use. Chloe juiced celery, and was pleased to see that for the first time, the juice cup contained more than the pulp cup. The pulp was rather dry.
The Dash juicer is multi-functional. It comes with both a juicing screen attachment, and a homogenizing attachment, which can be used to make fruit sorbets.
Carrot, Beet, Ginger Juicing Test
For this test, Chloe began with 5 carrots, a small beet, and a 1 inch piece of ginger.
Juicing was easy. Cutting the roots into long, thin strips, helps the juicer to work. Chloe did not cut the ginger, but juiced it last. On juicing websites, the long fibers in ginger have a reputation for clogging juicers. During the cleaning phase, Chloe found long strings of ginger in the juicing pulp outlet, and will probably cut the ginger into smaller pieces next time.
Clean up was easy.
At the end, there were about 2 cups of pulp, and almost 1 cup of juice. The high quality juice was delicious.
Mango Strawberry Sorbet Test
Making sorbet with the Dash juicer is easy.
To make sorbet, Chloe took the mangoes and strawberries out of the freezer, and allow them to defrost for 5-15 minutes, like the instruction manual says.
Chloe found that a whole frozen strawberry won’t fit through the feeder tube, but that an ulu can easily cut a frozen strawberry into halves.
Assemble the juicer with the homogenizing part.
Turn on juicer and put fruit through the tube. Sorbet comes out.
Rinse parts to clean.
Enjoy delicious sorbet.
