Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor

10 stars would do this machine better justice...
After my flimsy Juiceman Junior finally went to small appliance heaven, I decided to look around for a machine that I can actually live with = use it without hating to clean the thing afterwards. I'd never heard of Breville before, but the solid 5-star rating caught my eye. The idea of a wide enough feeder tube so I don't have to spend so much prep time was enticing, but what made me decide to buy the machine (cheaper some other place, look around) were the high marks on cleanup and performance. - Usually I don't write a review right away, but this juicer simply blew me away. What a beautiful piece of well thought-through craftmanship! Being German, I certainly prefer lasting performance over flimsy throw-away items, and this machine looks and feels like it will stand the test of time. I don't find the motor any louder than my previous machine, so that's not a problem. One reviewer wrote to put a damp paper towel around the pulp catcher rim to prevent tiny bits of pulp from...

Wonderful product
I got this machine as a birthday present and am over the moon about it. I've made some wonderful juices...papaya/apple, apple/carrot/ginger, and citrus mix. Anything I put in is thoroughly juiced...very little moisture is left in the pulp container. It is loud but this doesn't bother me at all. I do find that I have to cut the fruit into smaller wedges...whole apples, in spite of what's advertised on the box, do NOT fit down the spout. Still, a very minor point. I highly recommend this machine...for the price, you can't beat it. And clean-up takes all of 5 minutes if you're thorough. Even comes with its own scrub brush.

After intensive research, this was the one
I research almost everything I buy: my blender, coffeemaker, palm pilot, my car, electric razor, laundry detergent, etc.

After about 5 hours of research, I decided on the Breville JE900. My mother has a juicer from the TV guy (Jack LaL...) which I thought was decent. But I wanted to try something different, and the Breville had the highest marks I could find for the price.

Assembly was a snap after unpacking the box. While the juicer is mostly plastic, its high grade plastic and looks sharp on the counter.

The biggest differences between the Breville and the Jack LaL... juicer are: 1) size, 2) cleanup, and 3) noise.

The Breville is smaller (but juices just as much), MUCH easier to clean (the Breville mesh screen quickly snaps in and out, while the other one requires a special tool to unscrew the screen), and is louder than the Jack LaL juicer. All of the reviews I read said "the Breville is TOO LOUD." It may be a bit noisy, but it can crunch through hard...

Breville MFM50XL Muffin Magic

Convenient and easy to use!
I love the Muffin Magic (MM)--muffins turn out great every time, even using whole wheat flour and bran. When I cook muffins like that in the oven, they tend to rise into a nice shape, but fall as they cool. Not so with the MM! I make up muffin mix ahead of time (you can use boxed muffin mix, your favorite muffin recipe, or recipes from the owner's manual), and in the process found out something really great--muffins made in the MM from refrigerated batter are lighter and rounder than those made with fresh batter! When making muffins, it takes about 3 minutes for the MM to heat and 11 minutes to cook the muffins. The MM wipes clean with a damp paper towel. It is small enough to store easily in a kitchen cabinet. It saves energy and prevents the kitchen from overheating in the summer from the oven. It makes a great gift.

I did have one problem with my purchase: The box containing my MM did not include an owner's manual. Amazon did not have one to spare and suggested...

WOW!
I hate stuff sitting around the kitchen so tend to shy away from all the electric stuff. But...This caught my eye because I love cornbread but hate to fire up the oven just for one person.

This is wonderful! really bakes wonderfully. I find 9 minutes rather than 12 minutes as the book says.

Fill 3/4 full as you would regular baking tin, bake and in 9 minutes enjoy. One Betty Crocker cornbread (6 muffin size) make 4 oversized muffins in this unit.

I'm wondering if you could make individual kisch in this? What do you think? I'm going to try. Tart shells? from cookie dough? I can see endless possibilities to try without doing harm to the unit.

Get one if you are single. Or even for two peopleA.

Really good muffins
Muffin Magic is a great product. It is easy and fun to use. The 3 years old who assisted me in using the Muffin Magic for the first time thought "It's awesome!" I get moist, great tasting muffins in around 20 minutes of baking time. I use an olive oil spray, before putting in my muffin mixture.

I was disappointed in the recipe book as the recipes are not for 3 muffins, but much more. Scale down the recipes. The recipe book expected self rising flour. Go on the internet for a recipe or used your own, forget the recipe book that comes with the Muffin Magic.
