The American Brands Are Best In A Healthy Kitchen
What a bold statement, especially when you consider some areas of American manufacturing today. You only need to look at their automotive industry which now very rarely produces world class cars. Yet in the kitchen for those who follow a raw food lifestyle or who are keen on health and nutrition, American made kitchen equipment is now some of the best in the world.
Unlike many people raw foodists and health enthusiasts expect quite a lot from the appliances and gadgets they use in their kitchens. For example many will use a juicer as a kettle and as for blenders not only will they be used nearly every day they will also need to be able to complete some very demanding tasks.
As for a dehydrator or food dryer these will be used more than the oven that the person has in their kitchen to ensure that the nutrients found in foods are preserved so providing them with a wide array of nutritious foods to eat. If you are someone who is thinking about buying such equipment to improve one's health and change one's lifestyle there are certain things you need to be take into consideration to ensure that you select the right sorts of kitchen equipment.
Of course value for money is important when it comes to buying new equipment for the kitchen. Yes you will pay more for American branded dehydrators, juicers and blenders, but the returns they give to you in the long term outweigh these costs, especially when required for a use in a healthy kitchen. Not only do we require equipment to last but we won't to know that it is capable of dealing with certain demanding tasks and the American equipment that is focused on being used in a healthy kitchen are more than able to do this.
The average juicer just doesn't have the capabilities to be able to find nuts into butters for you or to make an instant sorbet from frozen fruit. Yet the Champion Juicer from California is able to deal with these kinds of tasks very easily. However, this isn't cheap to buy, but when you take into consideration what it is capable of and how durable this piece of equipment is, then you can see the price is very affordable indeed.
As for the blenders you can purchase locally you wouldn't expect these to grind dried chick peas into flour in less than 30 seconds or make vegetables and other fibrous raw greens into a smooth raw soup. If you did, then you are likely to find your blender won't be working within a week, unlike say the American VitaMix or Blendtec versions.
Raw fooders who fail to recognize the above fact in the beginning will end up wasting considerable amounts of money on some normal domestic blenders before they realize that the American ones we mention offer them in the long term better value for money. If you are after versatility and variety where food is concerned a food dehydrator that can create dried snacks and recipes is to be considered. There are many machines available but the Excalibur Dehydrator from California is not only far superior to many other models but it is much larger as well.
When it comes to juicers there is one that stands out from the rest in this area and that is the Champion Juicer. This comes with the statement as part of its branding that it is "the world's finest juicer" and is something that many would agree with. I myself have had Champion Juicer for more than 20 years and when I replaced it recently with the new black version I gave the original one to my son. Although it may not look quite as good as it did when it first came out of the box it still works as good as if it were new.
Yes there are plenty of juicers available but very few of these have the ability to be used regularly for over 20 years and still work in the same way they did when the box was first opened. Plus mine has been used for more than just juicing throughout the time I had it I used it for pushing through frozen raspberries and bananas to create delicious healthy ice cream. Since the introduction of this blender more than 50 years ago over one million of these have been sold worldwide. But if truth be told more would have been sold if the manufacturers had to decided to use the term "built in obsolescence" in to their marketing campaigns as other brand managers of juicers have today. When it comes to getting the Champion Juicer in the UK it is imported by UK Juicers Limited (visit www.ukjuicers.com) and see the four different colours they have available.
As for the Blendtec Total Blender most people will have seen this featured on an episode of "Friday Night With Jonathan Ross" where he showed that it can easily blend a mobile phone. When you visit the manufacturer's website for this particular food blender there are series of videos showing that it is able to blend anything from baseballs to lava lamps. This may well be overstating how powerful this kitchen equipment is, but it does provide you with the assurance that the money you spend will provide you with a piece of equipment that can cope with any task set for it in a raw fooder's kitchen. Whereas a normal domestic blender will begin to disintegrate very quickly.
Dehydration allows a range of health foods to be created such as vegetable chips, fruits, fruit leathers, energy bars, crackers and complete meals for the outdoor enthusiast using gentle heat. Not only does this help to preserve large amounts of the foods nutritional value but also the foods can be stored for much longer. Those who already have dehydrators know that the best ones are those that use horizontal air flow to dry the food in the same way that a fan oven works. The problem with the stacking types is that they dry the food inside less evenly and you will need to move the trays up and during to ensure that everything is dried evenly during the drying process.
For more than 30 years now the Excalibur Dehydrator has been made in Sacramento, California and has earned a reputation of being very reliable. The best dehydrator originates from a part of the US where there is plenty of seasonal produce available and where many households still like to use traditional methods for preparing and storing foods. Today UK Juicers now import the complete range of Excalibur Dehydrators along with the other kinds of American machines mentioned in this article for UK health enthusiasts.
You may find it difficult to understand why as a Brit I am recommending that health enthusiasts look abroad to purchase reliable kitchen appliances rather than here. But if performance and long term value are vital to you then, just as they are for other health enthusiasts then these American brands should be your only choice as they will certainly deliver what is required of them.
About the Author As one can see there are a range of American brands which are easily some of the finest on the internet, one in particular is the range of champion juicers which are available from a few distributors in the UK such as UK Juicers.
