    If you're ever back in the LA area, just ask. Most people are very happy to share their citrus. The joke is that if you see someone buying citrus in the grocery store there, it's because they don't have any friends.😂

      In Phoenix too. We had some engineers visiting from Japan, where grapefruit are sold singly for high prices and they freaked out at the stack of boxes of grapefruit in the lobby with "FREE, PLEASE TAKE SOME" signs. Then I took them to some neighborhoods where citrus grow in the front yards. They were snapping pictures like crazy.
      The arranged to ship a lot of grapefruit back with them.

    I love the gadget year videos. I put cut fruit and all other small items in a small glass storage container. Costco sells a set that includes smaller sizes. The best juicer is the old fashioned bowl style with the raised centre. It's the only way to get ALL the juice out. No edges with juicy pulp left.

    I bought a Gratemate in Gloucester last year. Bought them for friends and family, too. They're a little ceramic plate for grating ginger, garlic and chocolate. They look adorable. Kind of rustic. Remind me of holidays in Greece. I do use it, but the two main issues I find is that 1) it's really easy to grate your fingers when you're working with something small, like a clove of garlic, and 2) if you drop it, that's it. But it comes with a little silicone tube for rolling garlic. The BEST garlic peeler I've ever used. Would buy it just for that. 🧄

    When I have leftover stuffs that are on the smaller side I put them in a regular old soup bowl and put a dessert plate over it. You can actually stack things that way too.

    I don’t know why it makes me so happy, it I just love it when Emmy’s straight on camera catches her looking at her side camera and she says “come on guys. Look at this!” And then it cuts to the side camera. It’s just so…sweet? Like a friend saying “get in here! This is awesome! Look!” And then holding whatever up for you to see it.

    @OneChance-wins 17 годин тому +3

    i just use zip lock baggies and rewash them if they are the strong quality kind. Easy to disinfect with baking soda and water or water and distilled vinegar after you scrub the inside out with warm soapy water with a good rinse. then after you soak it again in the vinegar and water mix either or baking soda mix, you can dry those on a rack and safe to reuse for fruit and whatever food you have. I just do not reuse if any food content rotted in it , or when in doubt toss it out. I buy a pack of zip lock and plastic wrap stash like once a year some times longer. So the same time it takes to wash that one piece, the same for zip lock baggies. So i guess it just is a matter of what you want to use.

    I would have watched the how-to video first since I can be one of those who does it my way and then breaks the gadget at second try. Glad you mentioned adding seltzer water to the juice because I make my own with filtered tap water in a canister that uses pressurized cartridges and container is stored in the fridge. (ISI carbonated system) but buying seltzer works too. It is extremely expensive in my remote location to buy sodas.
    I'd wash the fruit well and dry before juicing and then run a rasp/grater/zester on the fruit to get some yummy zesty flavoring for other things like pound cake.
    The other Savel thing seems useless to me. I just put my extras in a glass bowl that I have assorted sizes and lids if wanted. Wonder if it might drip juices in the fridge? Often my extras are something like half an onion so it might leave that taste on the plastic. It was a fun demo to watch though.
    Edit: your i skipped to the wrong spot on your title. Fluicer

    I love grapefruit but I can't eat it right now. I am on a medication that says to not have grapefruit while taking it. I need to be on this medication for 5 years and it's only been just over 2 years now. It's a post breast cancer medication.

    10 years ago, I got food poisoning from bad onions. It was the worst 9 days of my life. I lost 40 pounds, and it was a solid two months before my voice returned. Be careful with your onions. They should be stored in an air-tight container and tossed after a couple of days. Or frozen. They lose appeal for fresh eating, but frozen onions are great if you're cooking with them. 😊

    Thanks for doing these. You missed a blood orange! 😊 This looks a lot easier for an older person with arthritic hands than either of the other 2 typical ones used. I ordered one...I'll let you know! Btw: I did order this brand because it was bigger than the others listed. It also looks sturdier. Also, from what I can tell, it would do blueberries, strawberries, pomegranate, etc, too. I saw one that had an apple but I'm doubting that one. Maybe a softer pear?!
