I have an old aluminum hand juicer that looks like potato ricer but with a receptacle.

The embossed wording says "VITA SIMPLEX PRESS 1"..made in Italy.

I tried to search but found only a few SIMPLEX product on ebay.

I wonder if anyboday have any info on this. It works so well with the pomegranate.

Is SIMPLEX the brand? Is it still available in the market and where i can find it?

SOS :huh:

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

There are a number of brands of juicers like that.

Wearever made a number of models over the years.

Just look for "Universal Juicer" or "Vintage Aluminum Juicer" on eBay.

I've got two kinds and they both work great for pomegranates.

Thank you for your note but no, it just looks like handheld potato masher except that the body is the receptical and the strainer is just a tray hanging in it. The upper lever has flat round disc so when you press down the lever the disc presses on the fruits in the strainer...the juice then goes to the receptical.

I am trying to post a picture.

Thanks again!

Hi,

I did check but all of them are those without the receptacle.

William n Sonoma have this vintage style too.

I will try to post the picture.

Thankx for your help.
