Welcome to the Healthy World of Steam Juicing &
Coo
k
ing.
Congratulations! You have just made an excellent choice by purchasing
the Victorio Steamer. It will serve you many years as a Steam Juicer, Cooker,
Colander, Soup Pot or a Roaster.
The Victorio Steamer at a Glance
It’s a Steamer Juicer—the gentle steam process gives you the rich savory
juices from grapes, apples, cherries, plums, pears, berries, currants, rhubarb,
tomatoes, et
c
., while preserving nature’s vitamins and fresh flavor. Simply
fill the water pan with water, place the fruit in the colander
,
cover with
the lid and heat on the stove. As the water boils, hot steam penetrates and
opens the fruit cells allowing the juice to drip into the juice kettle. About 60
minutes later, release the clamp and drain off the flavorful juice concentrate
through the drain tube.
It’s a Colander—The large 9.5 quart steamer insert doubles as a col-
ander that quickly drains spaghetti, washed lettuce, vegetables and garden
produce.
It’s a Soup Pot and Roaster—the bottom 4.5 quart water pan is ideal
for boiling, stewing and simmering soups. It’s also great for roasting and
baking chicken, beef, pork and other meats.
Steam Juicing with the Victorio Steamer
• Wash the Victorio Steamer in warm water, soapy water before each use.
Pay special attention to hard-to-reach areas. Thoroughly clean the drain
tube and juice kettle. Keep your work area, all equipment, and utensils
clean.
• Wash jars and check for nicks and cracks.
• Always use fresh, ripe berries and fruit. Carefully wash fruit to remove
dirt from cracks and crevices. Check for blemishes and remove them
as needed. Rinse well. Apples and large fruits do not need to be peeled
or cored, but will extract juice quicker when cut into pieces. Washing
grapes and berries is not necessary, just rinse them well and remove the
overripe ones.
• The fruit can be prepared with or without sugar. For a sweeter tasting
juice, add approximately 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar per pound of fruit.
Sprinkle the sugar throughout the fruit in the colander. Do not add
sugar directly to jars.
