If you spend much time in the kitchen, you know that not only is lemon juice a versatile product, but also that squeezing a lemon can be higher math. For example, how do you make sure your hands stay clean and no seeds or pulp get into your salad dressing?

Here's how to do it.

Step by step

  • Roll the lemon back and forth on the counter or between your hands. Just like you would do with a tangerine to loosen the peel from the flesh.
  • Stick a skewer into one of the sides of the lemon and pull it out.
  • Squeeze the lemon and the lemon juice will come out in a perfect squirt.

Extra handy

Not only will your hands not get dirty this way, but you can also keep the lemon longer, and use it later in another dish. For example, if you need more juice or just the (grated) zest of the lemon.
