Setting Up Your Green Star Elite
C. Using the Screens
A few screens are provided to increase the versatility of your Green Star Elite.
1. Fine Screen:
The fine screen is used to make vegetable and fruit
juices with as little pulp as possible in the juice. This screen is suit-
able for most types of vegetable and fruit juices, including carrots and
other root vegetables; crisp apples and other crisp fruits; spinach, kale
and other leafy greens, wheatgrass and other grasses, celery and other
fibrous stalks, and much more. Note that the pressure built up inside of
the screen may still push some finely ground pulp through the holes of
the screen.
2. Coarse Screen:
The coarse screen is used to make vegetable and
fruit juices with some pulp mixed into the juice. This screen is suitable
for juices where a little pulp is desired inside the juice.
3. Homogenizing Screen
(
Open Screen
)
:
The homogenizing screen is
used for basic food processing. When using the Homogenizing Screen,
Green Star Elite processes your ingredients and releases them through
the juice outlet underneath. Use the Homogenizing Screen when
grinding nuts and seeds to make pâtés, baby foods, etc. When using
the Homogenizing Screen, slide it over the Twin Gears so that the
rectangular hole faces downward.
4. Breadstick Screen
(
Closed Screen
)
:
The Breadstick Screen is used
for food processing where an extra smooth consistency is required.
When using the Breadstick Screen, Green Star Elite processes your
ingredients and pushes them through the pulp outlet, adding increased
processing time. Use the Breadstick Screen with the Breadstick Knob
(see below) to make breadsticks, mochi, sorbets, nut butters, and other
recipes where a smoother consistency is desired.
D. Using the Knobs
1. Juicing Knob:
a.
With the
Fine Screen
or the
Coarse Screen
: Use the juicing
knob when juicing vegetables and fruits. The juicing knob adjusts
how much the pulp is squeezed before it is pushed out through the
pulp outlet. Tightening the knob increases the amount of pressure
that is applied to the vegetables and fruits while extracting juice.
Tightening the knob will get more juice from firmer vegetables like
carrots, crisp apples, celery, etc. However, a tightened knob may
also prevent the juicer from successfully ejecting the pulp of softer
produce such as wheatgrass, or leafy greens.
