Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Citrus Squeezer
Customer Review: Limes need a little prep work, a good tool overall
Summary: 4 Stars
I just used this on 8 medium-sized limes and extracted 1.5 cups, or 3 tablespoons (3T = 3/16 cups) per lime, which I thought was pretty good. I use this primarily for limes, and as other reviewers have noted, it takes a little getting used to. I did better with following tips:
1. Ideally, you want the lime to flip inside out to maximize the surface area and extract the most juice. But lime rind is pretty thin and tends to buckle under, rather than outwards. Thus, rounder (vs oval/lemon-shaped) limes work best with this tool because the halves are shallower, and fit better with the shallow bowl.
2. You may have to score the circumference of the rind and manually flip the edges outwards before you press down. Four 1/4 inch cuts all around usually did the trick for me.
3. Insert the lime half face-down, and press SLOWLY to avoid getting squirted w/lime juice.
4. You can usually coax more juice out of room-temperature limes rather than chilled ones. Try zapping cold limes in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Rolling citrus fruit on the counter also helps break down the juice sacs and makes fruit more pliable.
Limes are just annoying by nature to squeeze, so I still give this 4 stars despite the prep work. It did a lot better and was easier to use than my old citrus reamer anyway.
