I'm distilling water for my CPAP machine, which uses anywhere from to, and I'm using this pot without the fruit colander. 75 cup:1 5 c. water per night (depending on how dry the air in your bedroom is). If I ran out of bottled distilled water, I didn't want to be forced to breathe dry air, but home distillers were prohibitively expensive. Then I came up with the idea of using a steam juicer. br>br>I prefer this one to most others because the outlet is a metal spigot rather than a tube with a clamp. The metal spigot has the disadvantage of getting extremely hot, but putting a small piece of flexible plastic tubing over the little handle kept it cool enough for my purposes. (I deducted a star because the manufacturer should have considered this alternative. ) )br>br>In about 12 hours over low heat on an electric hot plate with the vent hole in the lid closed up, I get between 2. 5 to 3. 5 cups distilled water (depending on how much steam still escapes) made from 3 quarts of very hard tap water (residue in bottom chamber resembles scouring powder water). People who need to wear ironed clothing to work, or who sew clothes or other fabric crafts that require an iron, would probably benefit from having this type of do-it-yourself steam iron. "You are still," you say. "br>br>With this D-, I'm not likely to save any money. " Y project, but I'm more confident that if I run out of water, I'll be able to keep my CPAP going. And who knows what might happen? Maybe one day I'll make my own juice!.
Just a few things to keep in mind: br>br>Before you use the unit for the first time, make sure you wash it and run water through the spigot to see how it drains. br>br>As mentioned in some reviews, I put six glass marbles in the water resevoir as a "dry" indicator. When you hear them rattle (which I never did), fill them up with water. br>br>The directions aren't clear on how much fruit to put in the basket, but I filled it to the rim just above the holes in the fruit basket with frozen cherries and had crystal clear juice in two hours, much faster than waiting overnight for the juice to drain through a cheesecloth. br>br>I turned the unit sideways so that the spigot was over the counter next to the stove and drained into a stainless dish set on a hot pad. Because the liquid is hot, it should not be poured into a glass. In addition, the spigot handle heats up! br>br>It's simple to use and maintain. Every canning season, I am excited to use this.
Because I use a gas stove, I appreciate the lack of a rubber hose. That item would have melted off the pot if it hadn't been for me. It's simple to operate and maintain. This method of processing elderberries is very simple.
It's difficult to buy pots without inspecting them first. Even if you have the measurements, you have no idea how big, tinny, or flimsy they are. The quality, finish, and performance of this steamer/juicer were all very pleasant surprises for me. I scrubbed it clean with soapy water, added water to the bottom, and 3/4-filled the steamer portion with small wormy cherries before bringing it to a boil. The recipe doesn't say how hard of a boil to keep going. I discovered that medium heat worked well without splattering steam everywhere. The parts are snugly fitted together to prevent steam from escaping; instead, it all goes up and through the berries. The directions warn that stirring the berries will cause the juice to cloud, so I stirred once after about an hour of boiling (medium heat on my electric range) and then stopped after about 90 minutes. There isn't even a hint of cloudiness. From my 10 cups(? ), I got about a quart and a half of juice (the directions provide estimates per pound of fruit). ) of cherry juice (There is no flavor from the worms - it's a super-tasting, clear juice. ) only a small amount of protein) I wholeheartedly endorse and enthusiastically recommend this pot! This is something well worth the $100 we paid for it if you make jellies, need juice for smoothies, or want juice to make mead like I do.
Update- I used a stainless steel bowl for ice instead of the lid and distilled 100 oz in 4 hours. br>I bought this item after searching for distill. Someone said it was possible in the comments section. Because I have a lead pipe in my house, I am unable to drink the water. I couldn't buy drinking water in the store because of my current cirrhosis. I was only able to make 6 ounces in 1 1/2 hours using this item because it allows so much steam to escape. I love the design and am sure the loss of steam will result in a more concentrated liquid when making juice, but it is not practical for distilling water. It might be possible to make drinking water if they offered a second lid with no hole (which I filled with foil). br>WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, BY THE WAY? The glue on a label on the pot made it difficult to remove. To keep the metal from being scratched, I had to heat the pot to warm the glue.
