Argos did a survey of their Cookworks-signature juicer (£29) and from 62
reviewers it got a 4 out of 5 star rating. (most said it was fine, some said
it was awful).

Argos now do a cookworks juicer (page 1175 in catalogue) which is a new
model and costs £19.99. It looks neater and takes up less room than the
previous signature model.

We would be using it mainly to juice carrots (to make up a salad dressing)

Would anyone have experience of this latest incarnation Cookworks juicer,
and whether it is as good as their previous more expensive version?
Thanks for any advice.

Can't help you there, but I'm curious. It always seemed to me that if you
didn't care for vegetables/fruits, the juice wouldn't be a real turn-on
either. Also, you're left with all that pulp, and throwing it away seems
such a waste.

I've never heard of making a salad dressing with carrot juice. How much do
you use? Would using the water from cooking vegetables be a substitute?

Unless you're on a low-residue diet, just eat the carrots. That's my
advice.

Because what's the point of turning a vegetable that you can
easily eat and digest into a juice?

Fiber, mainly.

I prefer to eat my food rather than to drink it. It is more
satisfying.

Well, obviously a lot of folks don't have teeth... must be the
UKers... they can't even chew a sandwich unless it's cucumber on soft
white with no crust... ever notice how all UK cusine can be gummed;
fish n' chips, mashed spuds, cooked to death stew... they even suck
spotted dick! LOL

It acts as a pre-digester

Give your guts something to do, or they'll forget how to do it.

Or, you could just eat baby food.

Produce is pretty pricey nowadays... I can't imagine normal brained
folks paying good money for fruit and veggies only to turn it into
compost. And I work too hard and invest too many resources to juice
the produce I grow.

For a lot less money, no machine to buy/operate, and a lot less labor
one can buy all kinds of perfectly good fruit and veggie
juices/nectars already prepared and in handy dandy containers at the
stupidmarket. Most Hispanic markets sell all kinds of fresh tropical
fruit nectars for very reasonable prices... frozen concentrate too.
And it's sacriligious to juice melons, just the thought gives me the
willies.

even if they were like you think, there's no competition in the weight
department; would you say?

All this spiel in the postings about 'i wouldnt want to juice' without
considering why someone else might want to.

Except, juicing seems to be a hobby in itself, someone thinks it's a great
idea nutritionally, runs out and buys an expensive juicer, and then
proceeds to turn everything in sight into juice. They've been somehow
convinced that juice is better than the original product, so they turn it
into juice.

Yes, there may be reasons why a specific person needs things turned into
a liquid. But there seems to be a whole lot more people who think juicing
is good in itself, and that's where the "what's the point?" questions
come in.

Same with America's most popular food, the hamburger. The only part of
the fast food burger that provides resistance to the teeth are the
pickle slices. The bun, burger, and cheese can easily be gummed.

I know folks who bought juicers... they used them like crazy for a
couple three weeks and then it just sits collecting dust for years...
the novelty wears off fast. Unless someone has real health issues
where their alimentary canal can't handle plant fiber the juicer is
just another useless gadget. I think it makes a lot more sense to get
your juice from a can of V-8, with the requisite equal part of vodka
naturally.

The Yanks can choose to gum their food to death, many have all their teeth
pulled just so they can have perfect straight white false teeth.

Actually America's most popular food is not the hamburger... it's the
hot dog... UKer's (swishy toothless lot that they are) I'm sure are
well versed in gumming tube steak! LOL

Barf! I know of NO AMERICANS who eat processed pig products in a
condom (hot dog). Yech.

Dunno what that means but since you're the resident expert on the subject
you can explain to us all how you do it.
