Methods for extracting juice from tomatoes
To cook deliciously means to truly enjoy the dish. There are plenty of recipes in the arsenal of housewives to boast of the best. There are a number of methods for obtaining tomato juice in the home kitchen:
- Traditionally, unpeeled fruits are ground in a meat grinder, then rubbed through a sieve to remove seeds and skin particles. This method requires time and physical effort, but it is completely justified. The output is a thick product with an even structure.
The ideal option for cooking is fleshy tomatoes. - If you don’t mind the presence of seeds in the drink, you should use a blender. In seconds, the device produces juice, the mass of which does not differ from the weight of the original raw material, i.e. 1 kg of tomatoes produces 1 liter of liquid.
- It is not difficult to process tomatoes for the winter through a juicer, but a significant disadvantage of this method is the significant consumption of fruit. To minimize losses and obtain a more concentrated product, not only the squeezed juice is filtered, but also the mass that ends up in waste.
- The preparation of homemade tomato juice is optimized by a juicer. In order to get a product with optimal consistency that is completely ready for sealing in jars, just load the crushed fruits into the device.
- The tomato drink is also prepared in a multicooker bowl. This method is similar to the previous one, but before placing the tomatoes in the bowl, they are not just cut, but ground into puree.
In the absence of kitchen utensils, the drink is obtained mechanically. This method is labor-intensive, since the peeled fruits will have to be boiled, the resulting mass must be freed from seeds using a sieve or gauze, and then boiled. Much more manipulations have to be done.
The sieve is in use
- How much juice will be obtained from 1 kg of tomatoes?
The volume of the finished product depends on the fleshiness of the fruit and the method of preparation. If you make tomato puree using a blender or meat grinder, the yield is almost always 1:1. In other cases, 150-200 g per 1 kg of tomatoes goes to waste.
