Product Description
Squeeze every last drop from a lemon or lime with this stainless steel citrus juicer by norpro. The extra-long handle gives you superior leverage, while the professional weight completely compresses the citrus for maximum juice extraction. This stunning mirror-finish tool is dishwasher safe. Made in USA. Tool: 2Hx8L". Juicer cup: 3" dia.
The hinge area which is the most prone to break in these type of products seem sturdy enough to stand up to continual use. The juicer works well if you follow the fool proof directions and don't try to use it for fruits it wasn't meant to be used for.
I have had great luck with this juicer -- easily broke two plastic ones previously and I was discouraged. This item is very sturdy and has not shown any signs of bending or breaking despite my best squeezing efforts. Highly recommended...
I first used a citrus press like this at one of those places where you prepare meals in advance and then take them home to freeze and serve later. I was impressed with it but thought it was available only to restaurants. I happened to see this online and ordered it on the spot. I love it and use it nearly every day. I use a lot of lemon and lime juice and this baby will get every drop out of the fruit with little fuss or mess. I have arthritis in my hands so I was worried that the squeezing motion might be too hard for me, but I have no trouble at all. The tool is hefty and stainless steel so it doesn't react with the acidic citrus like an aluminum one might. I just throw it in the dishwasher after using it. To use the tool, you slice the fruit in half between stem ends and place the half with the cut edge up in the lower perforated bowl. The perforations allow the citrus juice to drip out but the seeds stay in the bowl. The top portion then squeezes down on the cut edge with it's inverted bowl. That inverted bowl has a lip that laps over the lower bowl so you don't get squirted when you press the tool arms together. After the pressing, I tilt it sideways to allow any juice trapped under the lip to drain out.I find myself using it several times every day. I do a lot of cooking and love this tool.
After having used and broken more than one lemon press, I feel entirely confident that such a fate will not befall the Norpro press. This puppy gets it done! I am very, very impressed with the ease of use (squeezes out every last drop) and the ease of cleaning (just pop in the dishwasher, comes out gleaming). I cannot recommend this press enough. It's the one.
This press did a good job. I do wish the bowl was bigger so it would fit the larger lemons and limes. I have found I need to cut the ends off and then cut them in half before squeezing. It is a good product for it's size and price.
I hesitated spending this much money on a juice press given the cheaper alternatives out there. After using now for a month or so I am so glad I spent the extra money. This is made of solid stainless steel, not the aluminum pot metal commonly used in less expensive versions. It feels very solid and well-built and I'm sure will last a lifetime. Squeezes every last drop of juice out of lemons and limes.
This squeezer is poorly designed and too small to juice oranges. It needs to be larger around and shallower. I have a somewhat similar lemon juicer which gets an incredible amount of juice out of a lemon so I had high hopes for this. It's expensive, especially since it doesn't do the job. I can't quite figure out all the 5 star reviews. The do show it with a lemon and a lime so perhaps it is not meant for juicing oranges.
I love making mojitos... And as fun as it is to muddle mint and lime together, it's much more ecnomical to juice the lime first, and throw the juiced rind into the mix...
This juicer get's every little bit out of each lime I squeeze. I bought the stainless steel for it's durablity and in the first 3 weeks have not been disappointed.
I have used this tool many times for squeezing lemons and limes (it's too small for oranges) and it seems to be fairly sturdy with a stainless-steel finish that holds up to the dishwasher. However, it doesn't seem to close on itself as much as it should, leaving too much room (and juice) between the two halves. I found that by leaving an already-squeezed fruit in place when I insert the next one, it makes up the gap and yields more juice. Also, by cutting a shallow X across the fruit's cut end, extending through the peel, it helps the fruit to crush in the right direction. Beware of squirting juice!
Yes you do! Squeezing lemons is indeed a joy in life and this juicer brings the maximum joy! What I mean is, yes it hits the sweet spot amongst citrus juicers. It's not too mechanical and removed, not too difficult and messy to use, but just right and with the tactile feedback that gives you the satisfactory feeling of accomplishment. Holds in the hand with a solid feeling of quality and heft.
Helpful Hint: Squeeze both sides. Start with cut side up to break into the fruit and split the skin, but squeeze slowly at first to avoid an eyeful! Flip it over and get all the juice out. Squeeze it baby!
In A Perfect World: Wish it had a hole for hanging and a bit longer handle.
Parting Shot: Makes me smile! I always smile while squeezing lemons, don't you?
