Juicing Lemons, Limes and Oranges

  • To make juicing a lemon easier, halve or quarter it. Microwave on 100% power 15 to 20 seconds. Squeeze out juice.
  • Room-temperature lemons, limes and orange will yield more juice than those that are refrigerated.
  • Use your palm to roll lemon, lime, or orange around on the countertop a few times before squeezing.
  • If just a few drops of juice are needed, pierce the skin with a toothpick and squeeze out what you need. To store it, reinsert the toothpick, put the lemon or lime into a plastic bag, and refrigerate.
  • Store fresh lemon juice in the refrigerator for a week or so. NOTE: If you have a large amount of juice to store, put the juice in ice cube trays and freeze for later use.
