Lime Squeezer

Marian Blazes

The Bottom Line

This little tool should be in everyone's kitchen drawer. It's inexpensive and does a great job of extracting every last drop of juice from a key lime. You can get through a large pile of key limes in no time flat. Great for making lemonade!

Guide Review - Lime Squeezer

Simply slice some key limes in half and use this tool to squeeze out all the juice, and you're well on the way to delicious limonada or pisco sours. As you squeeze the lime, the juice is forced through a strainer, so the seeds and large pieces of pulp are left behind

Tip: Before you slice the key limes in half, heat them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds in the microwave, and then roll them around on the counter while pressing down on them. You will be able to extract even more juice.
