Juicing Lemons Without the Hassle

Cut your lemon lengthwise for easier squeezing, unless you’re using a hinge-style juicer—then go crosswise for a better fit. Set a mesh strainer over a bowl to catch seeds and pulp. No one wants surprise seeds in their lemonade. If you don’t have a juicer, grab a pair of tongs. Squeeze the lemon half between the arms for a quick juice boost. For every last drop, stick a fork or spoon into the pulp and twist. Forks get more juice, but spoons are faster if you’re doing a bunch. Want to make life even easier? Microwave your lemon for 15 seconds before cutting. It’ll be way softer and juicier. Once you try these, you’ll never dread juicing lemons again. #lemonhacks #kitchentips #juicing #Food #Cooking
