Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Stainless-Steel Citrus Juice Press
Customer Review: Best Lemon/Lime Squeezer in the Market
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered two lime squeezers, one from some place in Utah and this one. The one from Utah was a piece of junk. It had metal flakes coming off the squeezer (in case you wanted to add some toxicity to your juice) and when you tried to squeeze with it, the skin from your hand gets pinched between the two handles ... OUCH! It costed $9.99 but was worthless.
This one costed $19.99 and was well worth it. The smooth handles don't pinch your skin at all. In fact I let my kid use all the time. It works great on those medium sized limes. You see the juice flow out nice and uniformly. I do recommend microwaving refrigerated limes for 30-sec before cutting in half and squeezing. This lime-squeezer juices about 8 to 10 times faster than by just squeezing the lime with your hands.
I've tried it on key-limes (they're real small like 1-inch in diameter). It works well, except that after you squeeze the key-lime once, you have to pop it back into shape and squeeze the same half again to get more juice. I usually do this three times per key-lime.
I have not tried lemons, though I'm sure it will work fine. I would not try to do oranges (maybe clementines). This squeezer was clearly built for the smaller, more potent fruits.
Cleaning is a cinch. Just run it under warm water and some soap and you're done. This is one of the best buys I've ever made.
Oh I forgot to mention that I'm a man. Why does this matter? Cause you need a little strength to squeeze with this thing. It's strong, sturdy and safe, but you'll need some forearm power. My kid definitely has trouble squeezing without help. Perhaps after microwaving the limes, if you roll them firmly on a cutting board or counter-top that might make it easier.
If you're a lime-aholic, this is a must-buy!!!
I initially wrote this review about 2 years ago. I can't believe the price has gone up by 300%.
