andrel's Journal: Fighting scurvy

The new way-cool kitchen gadget in my collection a lime juicer. Specifically the KitchenAid Model KG070CR Citrus Juicer. It consists of two closely fitting hemispheres attached on a hinge, with long handles. The outer hemisphere has holes in it. You cut the lime in half and put it face down on the holes, then squeeze the handles and out comes the juice. The seeds and inside-out rind are left in the juicer. [Amazon's description]

If you add a lime juicer (aka "citrus press" or "citrus squeezer") to your kitchen I recommend getting something a bit lighter. This model is a bit on the heavy side; I had to use both hands. I think it is made out of chrome plated steel, while other brands are enamel-coated aluminium.
