Borosil's food preparation range at GD Sons is built around the jobs a regular mixer grinder does not do well: fresh juice, single-serve smoothies, blending on the go, quick chopping, and small-batch grinding. These are specialist appliances that sit alongside your main mixer rather than replace it. Each one does a specific job quickly and with less cleanup. The range covers cold press slow juicers and a centrifugal juicer, portable USB-rechargeable blenders, Nutrifresh smoothie makers, the InstaGrind mini grinder, ChefDelite choppers, and the SmartBlend hand blender. Below you'll find how each type works, what it is best at, and who it suits.
The most important choice in this range is between the two types of juicer, because they work in completely different ways and produce noticeably different juice.
How a centrifugal juicer works. A centrifugal juicer has a flat cutting disc and a mesh basket that spin at very high speed, typically many thousands of revolutions per minute. Fruit pushed down the feeder tube is shredded by the disc, and the spinning basket flings the juice outward through the mesh, much like a washing machine on spin. It works very fast: a glass of juice takes seconds.
How a cold press slow juicer works. A cold press juicer, also called a slow or masticating juicer, uses a single screw-shaped auger that turns slowly, at around 55 to 70 revolutions per minute on the Borosil models. The auger crushes and squeezes fruits and vegetables against a fine filter, pressing the juice out rather than shredding and spinning it. It is slower, but the way it extracts juice changes the result in several ways.
Heat and oxidation. High-speed spinning draws air into the juice and creates friction. That makes the juice oxidise faster, which shows as browning, and some heat-sensitive vitamins and enzymes break down. A slow juicer creates almost no heat and much less air contact, so the juice keeps more of its colour, freshness and nutrients.
Foam and separation. Centrifugal juice usually has a thick layer of foam on top and separates into layers within minutes. Cold press juice is smoother, has little foam, and stays blended longer. If you prepare juice in the morning to drink a little later, cold press juice holds up better.
Juice yield. Because a slow juicer squeezes rather than shreds, it extracts more juice from the same quantity of produce, and the pulp it leaves behind is noticeably drier. Over weeks of daily juicing, that means less produce bought for the same amount of juice.
What each handles best. Slow juicers are especially good with leafy greens, wheatgrass, mint, coriander, spinach, ginger and amla, which a centrifugal juicer tends to throw out as wet pulp, as well as carrots, beetroot, apples, pomegranate and oranges. Centrifugal juicers excel at quick juice from hard fruits and vegetables such as carrot, apple and beetroot, and at making large quantities fast.
Noise. Slow juicers run quietly, which suits early-morning juicing without waking the household. Centrifugal juicers are loud while running, though only for a short time.
Speed and preparation. Centrifugal juicers are the fastest choice when time is short. Slow juicers take a little longer per glass, and some produce needs cutting into smaller pieces.
Which should you choose? Choose a cold press slow juicer if you juice daily for health, drink a lot of green or vegetable juice, care about nutrient retention and taste, or want quieter operation. Choose a centrifugal juicer if you mainly want quick fruit juice, make juice for a family in a hurry, and prefer speed over maximum yield.
The Borosil Easy Juice Cold Press Slow Juicer runs a 130W motor at 55 RPM using slow-squeeze juicing. It comes with two 800 ml jars, one for juice and one for pulp, so you can make enough for the whole family in one session. A reverse function clears pulp if the auger gets stuck, and overheat protection guards the motor. It handles everyday favourites such as carrot, apple, pomegranate and beetroot juice.
The Borosil Smart Juice Cold Press Slow Juicer also runs at 55 RPM on a 130W motor, with two 800 ml jars and simple press-button operation. A safety lock means the motor only runs when the juicer is correctly assembled. It is a straightforward, easy first slow juicer for a small family starting a daily juice habit.
The Borosil Health Pro WB13 Slow Juicer steps up to a 200W motor at 70 RPM. It has an on-and-reverse function for clearing pulp, overload protection with a buzzer alarm, a low-noise motor, and a juicer jug for collecting and serving. The stronger motor makes it better suited to regular daily juicing of harder vegetables and larger quantities.
The Borosil Primus Plus is an 800W centrifugal juicer for fast juicing of both soft and hard fruits and vegetables. It suits households that want a glass of fresh orange, mosambi, apple, carrot or watermelon juice in seconds, and families making juice for several people at breakfast. Its parts are BPA-free and simple to clean after use. It is designed for fruits and vegetables only, so nuts and seeds should not go through it.
Both make smoothies and shakes, but they are built for different routines. A smoothie maker, like the Borosil Nutrifresh, plugs into the wall and has a much stronger motor. It handles frozen fruit, nuts, oats and ice, and usually comes with a second jar for grinding chutneys and masalas. It is a compact kitchen appliance that also works as a mini mixer. A portable blender, like the Borosil Nutrisip and Nutrimate, is cordless and USB rechargeable, with a smaller motor. It is built to blend soft fruits, milk, yoghurt and protein powder anywhere, at your desk, in the gym or on the road, and you drink straight from the jar. It is not meant for hard vegetables, large ice cubes or grinding.
The Nutrifresh is a compact 400W blender and grinder with a pure copper motor running at around 22,000 RPM, fast enough to blend hard fruits, nuts and oats into a smooth drink. It comes with two jars. The larger blending jar doubles as an on-the-go smoothie cup with its own lid, so you blend and drink from the same jar with less to wash. The smaller jar, with its own grinding blade, handles chutneys, dry masalas and spices. The blades are detachable for easy cleaning, a sensing switch lets you operate it simply by placing and twisting the jar, and a built-in thermostat protects the motor.
Beyond smoothies, the Nutrifresh is genuinely useful in an Indian kitchen: coconut or coriander chutney for breakfast, a small batch of garam masala or jeera powder, banana or mango shakes, lassi, cold coffee, soups, and smooth purées for babies. For small households, hostels and compact kitchens, it can cover much of what a full mixer grinder does in daily use, in a fraction of the space.
The Borosil Nutrisip is a 40W portable blender with a low-noise DC motor, six-blade stainless steel action, an unbreakable polycarbonate jar and USB charging. It is light enough to carry in a bag and is built for soft fruits, protein shakes, milkshakes and quick smoothies at home, in the office or while travelling.
The Borosil Nutrimate steps up to a 75W DC motor with stainless steel blades and a 550 ml Tritan jar that doubles as a drinking bottle. An inbuilt thermostat protects the motor, and a jar sensing switch means it only runs when the jar is correctly in place. The jar is dishwasher safe. Its larger jar and stronger motor make it the better choice for full-size smoothies and post-workout shakes.
Portable blenders suit people who are often away from a kitchen: students in hostels and PGs, office-goers who want a fresh shake at their desk, gym-goers mixing protein right after a workout, and travellers. Keep to soft fruits, liquids and powders, avoid large ice cubes and hard raw vegetables, and don't overfill the jar.
The InstaGrind is a compact grinder with a 350W motor tested for high endurance and a 400 ml stainless steel jar with a transparent lid, so you can watch the grind and stop at exactly the texture you want. Sharp stainless steel blades and a built-in flow breaker keep the grind smooth and even. Simple push-button control and a longer power cord make it easy to use anywhere on the counter. It is ideal for grinding small quantities fresh: spices and masalas just before cooking, coffee beans, flaxseed, chutneys, and powdered sugar. In a larger kitchen it saves pulling out the full mixer grinder for a few spoonfuls of masala. In a small kitchen or hostel room, it handles everyday grinding in very little space.
Chopping onions, garlic, ginger and green chillies by hand is one of the most tedious parts of Indian cooking. The ChefDelite chopper does it in seconds. The ChefDelite 260W runs a copper motor with two speeds, normal and turbo, and push-button operation. It is quick enough to chop onions for a tadka, mince garlic and ginger, make salsa and dips, or blend a quick chaas on a hot afternoon. The ChefDelite 300W adds power for tougher ingredients and larger quantities, with two-speed operation including turbo, a copper motor, and a motor mount safety switch that runs the blade only when the motor is correctly seated on the bowl. Choppers save time and tears every day, and they also suit anyone who finds fine knife work difficult, including elderly family members.
The SmartBlend is an 800W hand blender with a DC motor, a detachable stainless steel blending rod, a 750 ml beaker, a 500 ml chopper bowl and a whisk attachment, so it covers three jobs with one motor unit. Use the blending rod for smoothies, milkshakes, lassi and puréed soups, and to make smooth baby food straight in a bowl. Use the chopper bowl for onions, nuts, herbs and dips. Use the whisk for pancake and cake batters, whipped cream and beaten eggs. Because you take the blender to the food instead of moving food into a jar, there is less to wash. For soups and dals, let them cool a little before blending, and don't fill the beaker or chopper beyond the marked level.
Students in hostels and PGs: a portable blender for shakes and smoothies, and the InstaGrind or Nutrifresh for chutneys and masalas without needing a full mixer. Working professionals: the Nutrimate for a shake at the desk, and a chopper or hand blender to cut weekday cooking time. Fitness and health routines: a cold press slow juicer for daily green and vegetable juices, and the Nutrifresh or Nutrimate for protein shakes and smoothies. Families: the Primus Plus for quick breakfast juice for everyone, a chopper for daily cooking prep, and the SmartBlend for soups and batters. New parents: the SmartBlend or Nutrifresh for smooth purées and baby food in small portions. Elderly parents: a chopper and hand blender take the effort out of chopping and grinding by hand. Small kitchens: compact appliances that each do one job well without taking over the counter.
Rinse juicer parts right after use, before pulp dries on the filter. The cleaning brush supplied with the slow juicers clears the fine mesh quickly. Wash blender and smoothie jars soon after use, and run a little water and a drop of dishwashing liquid through portable blenders to clean them between uses. Wipe motor units with a damp cloth only, and never immerse them in water. Keep portable blenders charged and avoid running them on a low battery with thick mixtures. Don't overload choppers, grinder jars or juicer feeder tubes, and give motors a short rest between long runs.
Borosil appliances make thoughtful, practical gifts that get used every day. A cold press slow juicer is an excellent wedding gift for a couple setting up a health-conscious kitchen. The Nutrifresh smoothie maker or SmartBlend hand blender suits a newly married couple's first kitchen, covering many small daily jobs. For corporate gifting, the Nutrisip and Nutrimate portable blenders and the ChefDelite chopper are compact, useful and well received by employees and clients alike. For Diwali, a juicer or smoothie maker makes a gift the whole family can enjoy. For bulk corporate or wedding orders, our team can help you choose and arrange quantities.
