Handy Lime Juicer

A lime juicer is a necessary kitchen utensil in any Mexican kitchen. Lime juice is called for in so many Mexican dishes, salsas, and drinks. A few examples are guacamole, avocado salsa, pico de gallo, Mexican salsa, and Limonada.

Obviously, it’s not a very complicated device. Cut a lime in half pop a half into the juicer and squeeze away. If you need to juice a lot of limes it sure saves lots of time and energy.

You can tell from the picture that our juicer is a very well used tool in our kitchen. Be sure to buy the metal lime squeezer not the colorful plastic ones. They don’t last more than a few uses.

A good trick for juicing limes if you don’t have a lime juicer is to cut the limes in half, stick a fork in one of the halves pinch the lime and twist. Squeeze as much juice as you need then pick out the seeds. This method works almost as well as using a lime juicer although it’s a bit messier.
