Frequently asked questions
1. What is living juice? The concept of Living Juice was first
introduced by Dr Norman Walker (1874-1983). Walker declared
that the vital enzymes in fruit and vegetable juices die at
temperatures which exceed 50 degrees Celsius. Walker said
that any juice extractor which used a high speed blade or
centrifuge, created friction heat leading to the destruction
of enzymes.
Oscar is rotating at a low 80 rpm, producing no heat
around the auger and ensuring a living juice without any loss
of enzymes or nutrients. After Walker retired, Max Gerson took over his work
and enjoyed success for his achievements using living juice
therapies for people with cancer. Dr Gerson has used living juices in the treatment
of cancer patients for over 30 years. 2. How does Oscar produce more juice? The unique extraction process of the Oscar operates
gently at a low rpm to unlock vital living enzymes, minerals
and vitamins from the fruit and vegetable fibre. Oscar's low
speed stonemill-like auger, operating between 75 to 90 rpm,
allows the food to be juiced again and again, removing a maximum
amount of juice. 3. Is it true that Oscar is quieter than other
juicers? Yes. In past tests comparing the Oscar with other
leading juicers on the market, Oscar was considerably quieter
than the other types tested. You only have to hear Oscar to
get a pleasant surprise. 4. Is the Oscar easy to clean? Oscar comes with 20 parts which are easy to assemble,
disassemble and clean. You can disassemble the drum set, strainer
and auger, clean all the parts and reassemble them for your
next juicing function within minutes. 5. Is it okay to put Oscar parts into the dishwasher? No. Wash all the parts in the kitchen sink using detergent
and hot/warm water.  6. When I juice carrots, beetroot and other
highly coloured vegetables, the inside of the drum cap and
nozzle get discoloured. Is there a way to remove these stains?
Yes there is. Soak the parts in bicarbonate of soda
or white vinegar or citric acid. Olive oil is also effective.
Remember that vegetable stains are on the inside of the machine
where no one sees them and vegetable stains are safe. 7. What else will Oscar do? Oscar will not only extract the juice from fruit,
vegetables, leafy greens, like spinach and wheatgrass and
herbs, but can be used as a seasoning chopper for garlic,
onion, red and green pepper and ginger. It can also be used to mince fish and meat and will
make pasta and noodles, nut butter, fruit sorbets and icecream.
(Recipes supplied.) Oscar will also extract oil from flax and sesame seed
with the oil extractor attachment (optional). 8. Will Oscar separate the juice from the pulp? Yes. The juice falls into the juice bowl and the pulp
is automatically ejected through the nozzle and falls into
the pulp bowl. Oscar DA802 comes with separate fruit and vegetable
strainers. The fruit strainer is courser, ie larger holes,
while the vegetable strainer is very fine. 9. What is Oscar made of? Oscar is a solid juicer made from hygienic and heavy
duty polycarbonate. The motor is a ¼ HP single phase induction
motor engineered for a long life. The Oscar comes with a full
five year warranty, motor, parts and labour. 10. How much is Oscar? Price $649.00 including GST and
delivery throughout New Zealand.
Payment can be made by cheque or credit card.
