    Celery is actually quite nice and refreshing juiced. Parnsips are very peppery. Apples and oranges everyone knows.

    Make a large batch, because juicers are a pig to clean...

    that's one of reasons I've never bothered with a juicer - they are supposed to be a mare to clean. I use a big plastic jug and chuck all the fruit in it with yoghurt/milk and then use a hand blender. You get the seeds from stuff like strawberries, but that's not a problem.

    They are supposed to be made fresh each time but you can keep them in the fridge or a flask.

    My juicer is fine to clean, stick a carrier bag in the pulp bit and then the other bits come off no problem, takes five minutes max.

    I have certain recipes to stick too, with added nutrients so it's not a starvation diet.

    This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-HR1865-00-Juicer-litre/dp/B001HN6R2E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1248523119&sr=8-2 It's actually dishwasher safe too

    Yep, that's the one I have, but I didn't pay anywhere near that amount... :eek:

    Takes 5 minutes to clean for 20 sec of juicing...

    tut...........turned the cake out too quick and it's partly left in the cake tin. It's a silicon one so I've peeled the side back and it is stuck because it's still hot. I've put it back on and i'll let it go a bit colder but I think I have a bit of a 'rustic' looking cake :rolleyes:

    i'm still impressed at the knowing how many spoons of bicarb make a self raising flour... i'd have given up at that point...

    I had to google it Maz, which led me to an MSE post. Some say 1 to 200g, some say 3tsp, apparently it's on the tub, but the label came off my tub ages ago :rolleyes:

    I was more impressed that you could even make self raising flour:confused: I thought it came from different types of wheat to that of plain...:rotfl:
