Charlie, you picked a good juicer.
I read their product description. They are claiming their product is acid resistant and they
use chromium, enamel finishing and porcelain component. Now it seems like a perfect juicer.
I checked similar juicer by other companies. They use stainless steel but does not say anything
about acid resistance. Also learned that 18/10 stainless steel means 18 % chromium and 10 %
nickel. RP warned against using stainless still high nickel content.
Q: How do I know which stainless steels are safe?
There are two main types of stainless steel, magnetic and nonmagnetic. The nonmagnetic form has a very high nickel content, and nickel is allergenic and carcinogenic. It is much more toxic than iron or aluminum. You can use a little "refrigerator magnet" to test your pans. The magnet will stick firmly to the safer type of pan.
