A lid (12) of a juicer provides several important functions. It prevents jui ce from escaping, it diverts pulp efficiently toward a collector (13) or chute (150), it cooperates with a locking bar to keep the device safe and closed a nd it provides a platform for the feed tube. The lid (12) comprises a polymeric cap (52) (for example a polycarbonate) to which is secured a metal, preferab ly stainless steel feed tube (51). Importantly the combination of clear cap (52 ) and steel feed tube provides all of the advantages of both, that is, adequat e strength in the feed tube and knife and the ability to see under the cap.</S DOAB>
