Juicing My Home-Grown Sugar Cane By Hand.

- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- We bought a squid press/ sugar cane press to try first. It took 2 hours to get the juice out of one stalk. We decided it was sold as a sugar cane press under false pretenses. We requested a refund & we offered to send it back. They gave us US$65 of the the original US$105 back as a refund if we kept the press, which we accepted. We bought another hand press which did the job beautifully, however it is still physically demanding, which I don't mind.
Thank you so much! This video was very educational:) Me and my son fully enjoyed watching it, God bless!
Thank you so much for making this video. I wish I had seen it before I ordered the squid press for sugar cane juicing only to find it really doesn't work for that purpose. I have since been blending the cleaned sections in my vitamix w additional water then squeezing out the juice with a nut milk bag or t-shirt and this works much better than the squid press.
I can remember as young kids growing up around Bundaberg, chewing on the sugar cane for the sweet juice. Thank you for your clips. So interesting. ❤️
Thank you so much, this is a very interesting and thorough demonstration. I love your determination to make it work and make sustainable practices available to others!
What I was a kid sugar cane stock was given as a treat. I loved chewing on them.
When I was a kid we would eat it as a treat! Here in the southern states sugar cane is used to make cane syrup.
Donna Day in the Northern states we use Maple trees to produce sugars. not that it's on a shelf in 60lb bags like the cane sugar is but it's another alternative along with coconut sugar.
I do love homemade Maple syrup! My mother in-law has property in VA that a neighbor would tap the trees and processed it to make his syrup he sells every year. But the taste of the Cane syrup that my Uncle makes from Sugar Cane he grows himself brings back memories of homemade biscuits and cane syrup from my childhood. Have an awesome weekend.
Bien práctico su mini trapiche jefe. Jogo de cana con limón es una bebida de reyes.. provecho.
Thanks for posting this video! I'm growing sugar cane, and trying to find a good press. That second press looks pretty strong, and I suspect that by removing the handle, and placing a 4 or 5 foot pipe extension over the crank arm, you could probably press a whole uncut cane with no effort whatsoever.
Love the video ! Thank you for the effort you put in to make it !
Jeff,
Thanks for sharing. That is a lot of work for cane juice. I will not be buying either juicer. However, if I do need to exercise I may consider it.
Hi Raj, well done. I have feeling that you need the exercise, however, don't buy the small one.
If you soak the crushed pieces in water and boil/concentrate the water down you can extract almost 100% of the sugar in the crushed canes
I just found your channel and absolutely love your videos.
I see a lot of people making sugar cane juice, they all remove the skin first. They also use an electric juicer.
lifeinthailand sorry dont need to do thet ok just had to rasp the skin will do the job and the joice will very clair color
If it works than fine, But sugar cane juice is very popular in South East Asia and I see everyone peel it first.
Wow, I watch your videos so its strange to see your comment on a random video
Thanks for posting! I was thinking of getting a press but after seeing that process, I'll try cutting it up & boiling it like in another video & see how that turns out.
Gotta love you guys, lots of great info. I was giggling at seeing the skin go through. Get yourself a jungle knife or the hooked style is good too, run it down the stem (whole, not small pieces) to take off the skin, watch your hands, this is why you don't want small pieces. Then it won't be hard work at all. You can slice length-ways to make it even easier if desired. I haven't tied it but I grow sugarcane & this is how I eat it. Thanks for the great reviews on the cane presses. I'm now going to look through the comments for the model with the cogs! :) Great video guys, thanks
I have the squid press and it won't grab and advance the cane when it is peeled, the cane just spins in place and pulps is grounded, it has to have at least one side for the teeth of the wheel to grab the.
Jeff, see if you can half the half to make it easier to go through it. I like the second machine. I am sure there is a motor out there that you can attach to it to power that machine LOL I love the look of sugarcanes in the garden. Yep, you can mulch the leaves and stalks too.
OMG such an extremely sad situation.
I guess you will appreciate the juice that much more
That's a nifty little set up you have there Jeff.
Thanks for the video, you saved me money, because I had in mind to buy one like the one you showed in the video, but I saw that it does not work, I will make it with recycled iron and it will possibly be better. because like you, i plant and harvest sugarcane in my back yard.
My great grandfather had a donkey driven press. I remember people would by the cane juice by the gallon. I haven't seen that since I was a kid.
I give the CZcams award grandpa.
Try taking the outer bark off the sugarcane stalk. Thats how people do it in other videos, and they have much less trouble than you do.
Very useful video. What make is the second press?
Cool thanks mate
You can fold it in half after you've run it through to get more juice out. (That's what they do in India).
Very nice
These videos were so cute. #Thankyou
Nice video sir! I am also looking for this kind of presser to be used for dried/grilled squid and dried beef. Aside from sugar cane, have you tried to use it for other purpose such as what I have mentioned? Thanks and hoping that you make more videos in the future.
Good way of having sugar and keeping your weight down!
Interesting, I'm glad I watched. Bit rich what with the refund offered, obviously not a sugar cane press. Good on you!
Maybe peel the outer layer first will make it easier to pres and your juice will nice and clear colour
looking good mate. :) I've got to believe that splitting the stalks into multiple thin shards will make life a lot easier....even a heavy chinese cleaver should be able to whack it into pieces once it's split...
cheers...
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Rohan Spencer instablaster ;)
@Mathias Steven thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Mathias Steven it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Rohan Spencer Happy to help :D
Hey you guys are making this into toil. Just cut off the skin and cut it into quarters then slice it into pieces. Like candy, just chew it and suck out the juice. If it’s too difficult to chew then cut against the grain into smaller pieces..... I’d recon that machine press would be great for wringing out my socks.
The second press would work a lot better if it weren't direct drive. A nice big hand wheel attached to a small gear, driving a big gear that then drives the actual press wheels would give you all the torque you need.
MonMalthias wise in basic mechanics and health-wise 👍🏻
I'm here because I was low on sugar for my cup of tea haha
Nice
hate to break it to you cobber but that's an Asian roller for flattening and tenderising dried squid
G'day Lee :) thank you.
Southern farmers use these for cane.
Where did you get the second press from? We're looking at doing the same in AU
Thank you for making this video and for alerting us to the fact that the squid press is not a good tool for pressing sugar cane.
I'm planting cane this coming summer but also sweet sorghum too. I'm assuming that one could run sorghum stalks through the second machine as well? What is the second machine in your video?
I'm totally new to cane and sorghum.
Just subbed to your channel. Thanks again!
Can I share this video on my sugarcane machine channel? We want to help you warn people. We will mention your channel in the description. Please let us know? Thanks. David
Is that variety of sugarcane for juicing or chewing? It didn't look like you got much juice out of it but I don't know exactly how much you should get out of it. Thanks for sharing the video with us.
Nice ! How can we contact the sugar cane press machine manufactory to buy it?
amazing ! is this available in india ?
Long time no see good buddy! Well ya posted this AWESOME upload in February of this year so I guess by now you've a Arnold Schwarzenegger build on ya! lol....that second one you showed really got the job done, and am glad they refunded you 65usd and keeping that squid press/sugarcane press, but wouldn't it help if you peeled the sugarcane first, over here that's how its done and the juice comes out clearer. Anyways nothing like fresh-squeezed sugarcane juice to sweeten your cold drinks or tea with. Thumbs up, say hi to your missus for me. :)
Hi Joe, many thanks. I have seen videos where they use a special peeler to peel them before juicing. I should look into buying one. cheers mate.
fold the cane and put tru the machine again and twist the cane .the cane has to be very white color in the end after thet no juice will be left
i love sugar cane juice when go to a farm my self drink 3liter this hahaha.
injoe .God bless your family
Nice video! Where did you get the second machine from?
Beautiful .How to get n price please
I've been looking at that first one on ebay. I'm glad I saw this vid. What was the brand and model of the second one? It looks like it may suit my purposes.
Hi Rob, I got the second one from a bloke in Byron bay. He only had the one that he had in stock for a long time. He said that it came from Brazil. That's all I know about it.
Ok, thank you!
What’s name of press called
what is the name if the 2nd one ?
What machine is that called
this is tooooo much work
Imagine fingers in there and hearing the crunching of bones...
What’s the secound machine called
Jeff, would you be willing to sell that Squid Press? Looks to be perfect for what I need it for.
I can find many presses like the first one but i can't find any of the second one 😭 can anyone send me a link or something please ? thanks 😅
Hi Jeff, where can I buy the second juicer on this video please?
You need to add a reduction gearbox to it..
Or a motor, methinks
Just grind, wash, peel, and split by hand, then go slow and let the tool do the work!
Where did you get the rollerr for it?
lol you said it just as I pressed send lol
I'm wondering if this might work for sorghum. I'm looking for a way to make molasses from sorghum on a small scale.
so cute i like thanks a lot i want this mechine for my home please
Hey Jeff and everybody,
Can you feed the sugarcane syrup to the bees to replace regular sugarsyrup? I hear some people say it's better and some that say it's toxic for the bees.
It still has the molasses in it. It'll give the bees diarrhea.
around 5:12 you mention that it is about 100 AUS$ "dyre" (not sure how to spell it). I can guess what it mean naturally, but it is the first time I have heard that word in english. Do you know if it is an Ausy word or?
The funny thing is that I am from Denmark and we have the same word in danish. "Dyrere" meaning: more expensive. Ty for the vid.
Dearer (meaning more expensive) is a word we use in the UK alot, but countries like Ireland and Australia use similar words too us because off Britain colonising everywhere, Im not sure which country was originally so appalled by the price off something they invented a new word but hey it's very well used haha
You should really return those and get an electric juicer for the same money..
It would work better if you get another sugar cane press look on ebay
good morning sir where did u get the other one from the all green one ? and how much ?
try runnin thru the first to crush then then it be easier
Ok so when is the Rum going to be ready? That would make dealing with cranky bees (and cranky wife) much easier to deal with. keep up the great vids!!
Wheel
Is too small
Attach a longer handle
please hamer thos joints beaford you do thet will less hard for you Sir wish i'm close to you and help to do this will be my plesure.
Wow Jeff, there's gotta be a better way. Can you cook the canes down?
Mega MindyLou no sweet dont hav to do thet ok

i know thet in Brazil i'm do this a lots ok
sorry suga cane never will be cooked .
God bless you
Lol 😅😂 Arnold Swar lol
por fin alguien que compara
Kesian uncle ni nk minum pn susah....
is it the processing of sugar that makes is so bad for us? is raw sugar cane juice a healthy alternative ?
It is less the processing and more the calories. People go out of their way to think about chemicals or whatever in their food; but the processing of sugar cane actually purifies it rather than add contaminants. White sugar is effectively pure sucrose. What is removed in the process is molasses - all the components of sugar cane that is not sucrose. Sugar cane molasses actually has decent amounts of vitamins and minerals and due to its lower sugar content has little calorific value left.
The problem with sugar is that a lot of processed food, canned food, fast food, or just any food, really, has sugar added. It is truly remarkable the changes one has to make having observed people take up diabetic diets. The length of the list of things they need to avoid or minimise is long and grows longer every year. And, there is growing evidence that it is because of this abundance of sugar that the Western world appears to be afflicted by higher rates of obesity rates than that of other regions; and less so due to an abundance of fat. Whether the sugar is organic or not, brown or white, beet or cane, grape or sweetcorn derived doesn't seem to matter. The more one eats, the fatter one gets.

The solution for the moment is to cook as much of your own food using fresh ingredients as possible. That way you have control over how much sugar is added. There is no helping you, of course, if your palate tends to be sweet. That being said, exercising strict(er) calorific control over one's own sugar intake - rather than whether it is processed or not (see above article) - seems to be the way forward in attaining better control of weight and body fat.
MonMalthias spot on advice. the short and simple version but these are the facts non the lesser. thanks
Our teeth is much more better than all those and , can have more yummy and fun , anyway I like the sugar cane
I got today the juice .you give next year©©©
price?
Not satisfied
Egads man! They use lead paint there on their metal equipments. I recognize the green on the rollers. Don't drink that stuff!!!
Is a "squid press" supposed to squeeze out ink, or something? lol ;D
run thru borh
that's a job for kids lol
I don't think it worths the effort. Thank you for sharing the video anyway.
When the world collapse you would think differently
not a good at all looks like it needs one full day to get juice
that juice look disgusting. Should take the peel off first or clean iit.
