Why do I have big pieces of fruit in the pulp container? Am I doing smth wrong?

Hello. I have the same problem but it's a basic juicer not a fancy/expensive one that juices everything.

Not sure. I cut up fruit and veggies and all that comes out is ground up. I do cut up the pieces small and put very little in and don't push hard. I think it works quite well for the price.

This juicer is really more of a stepping stone to see if you like juicing. Really not a great juicer.

Are you trying to push the fruit through? I find it's best to let the machine do the work. If you push them through, it tends to go too fast and not process correctly.

I don't think there is an easy answer to that. It's either got to be high temps or long time. Unless you have a pressure cooker I don't think that's possible. The fruit just needs a certain amount of time and heat to break down and release it's juices. It is very easy to let the bottom pan go dry. You don't want to do that or you will ruin the unit!

Get a big sturdy double-mesh strainer, hook it over a deep pot or bowl. In several batches, rub & press hot cooked-to-mush fruit thru w/a med.-stiff rubber spatula, frequently banging the strainer against the pot to force the puree to drop. I make ~3 doz. jars of blackberry jam every summer and I've tried everything, believe me. (I have wild blackberries & they are SEEDY!!) Unlike food mills, very little wasted pulp. If you like, tho, you can put the accumulated waste in a small saucepan, add ~1/2 cup water, simmer & stir for ~5 minutes, and pour off the separated pulp.

Good to know. Thank you. My concern was pulling down too hard, and possibly pulling the fruit basket down & breaking whatever container you where draining the juice into. Thanks again.

I am not an expert but I believe it depends on your objectives. Pulp contains more of the fiber in addition to the nutrients but the clear liquid allows the nutrients to enter your system more efficiently.

I have juiced citrus along with greens, other fruit and veggies in various combinations and mostly with the small hole screen, but I have not juiced just citrus. I would think that it would be fine and that the large hole screen would produce pulpier juice.

no i didn't. i wash and cut the whole fruit and put it in and filled up with water. you can use the fruit a couple of times to make it more cost effective. hope this helps

I just used Swiss Chard today. You have to roll up the leafy greens and "sandwich" them between something like apples or cut the apple in half - top & bottom - put the green leafies between the halves....caution DO NOT force through the greens... let the juicer do its job. Otherwise, the motor will seize and you'll have to open it up and back out everything in the chute and start over with what's left. Oh, and there is NO PULP in the juice...all that goes into the pulp collector (As an extra: put a clean bag [biodegradables are available for this purpose] in the pulp collector and save the veggie pulp for soups & savory dishes and the fruit pulp for baked goods!)

The only thing that comes out is the juice. Sometimes I run all the pulp and scraps back through again. You will be disappointed if you like pulp.

I tend to agree with the other users, I think it may just need to be cleaned out in the middle of juicing if you are doing that many apples. I also always make mine right before I drink it so I only make enough for myself. If you are doing heavy duty juicing, your best bet might be a higher end juicer that can handle the load

Try this, make the paste thicker (simmer more) & be careful how you spread it. I think it gets thinner as you go outwards as the inner ring "forces you" to make the insdie the same thickness as the ring ! My kids love all sorts of fruit this way (add to lunches)

It's not easy to answer this in definite terms like what is a lot or how wet it is, I hope my own opinion on the subject is helpful. I feel the waste is relatively dry, which to me means it is extracting as much liquid juice as it is capable from squeezing from the fruit/vegetable. I find the drier waste easier to clean up. As far as how much that depends so much on what is being "juiced" but when I look at what's left it seems to be about what I would expect considering the process it uses to extract the juice, in other words what is left is truly waste and not unprocessed juice, so I would call that relatively low waste.

All the solid matter is ejected out the side from my experience. However, I've only been using the fine juicing basket. The coarse basket looks like it might allow some pulp to get through.

I used it for my juice pulp. I believe due to the juicing process, which breaks down the food quicker, lead to an overpowering smell that this could not keep in. I would need to do it at least everyday if not more.

My fruit juices are always thicker than the vegetable juices. I usually use apples, pears, pineapple. Even my citrus juices are thick though.

Not really because there is a strainer that cannot be removed which filters most of the pulp out. However, if you like the pulp, you could just dump it back into your juice from the strainer since the strainer will hold most of it.

Hi Eleanor D. I love my Waring juicer. The pulp stays inside, and it's really dry!!! No pulp in the juice though. :)
