Juicing Fruits

by WiredBerries Readers — March 16, 2007

To get the most juice from limes and lemons, suggests Carole Shea of Alexandria, VA, reach for your kitchen tongs. "Place the halved fruit inside the arms of the tong and give it a good squeeze," she writes. "Then reposition the half and squeeze it again."

What people are saying...

Roll your lemon or lime under the weight of your hand against a counter or cutting board before cutting it open. This breaks up the pulp inside and you'll get much more juice.

You can then also use a table spoon to press against while squeezing. put the spoon inside and squeez.

Lemons I squeeze into my hand or cover with cheese cloth to keep the seeds from falling into the food.
