A steam juicer is a stack of three nesting pots that uses steam to extract juice from fruits or vegetables. The top pot has a colander where you put your fruits or vegetables.
The middle pot has an opening at the middle to allow steam to pass to the top and a reservoir to tap which has a pipe and a clip that holds the juice until you tap it out. The bottom pot holds water that boils to release steam.
Using a steam juicer is fast, and easy and you require little prep work. It is a good option if you need to prepare large patches of fruits. The process also takes less time compared to other juicing methods. Below are some popular steam juicer recipes.
1. Steam Juicer Plum Juice Recipe:

2. Steaming Apple Juice Recipe:
Apples have different levels of sweetness or tartness. They produce good flavored juice and you can mix different types of apples like gala, honey crisp, pink lady, granny smith, and cameo.
To make the juice, wash the apples thoroughly and cut them into cubes. This increases the yield of the juice produced. Put water into the bottom pot, and place the middle pot on top of it.
Fill the pieces of apples into the colander pot and place it on the middle pot and cover the steamer. Heat the steamer for the water to boil with high heat then reduce the heat for it to simmer.
Frequently check the level of water to prevent it from drying up. This could damage the steamer. After a while, collect the juice from the reservoir through the pipe. Be careful because the juice is steaming hot. Collect the juice in clean cans, this could take one hour depending on the type of apples used.
The mushy steamed apples could be used to make applesauce by passing them through a food strainer. The applesauce can be made into fruit leather by dehydrating it.
