What is a Citrus Juicer?
A citrus juicer is a kitchen tool specifically designed for removing the juice from citrus. Both hand operated and electric versions are available, with many cooks preferring one or the other, depending on how much citrus needs to be juiced. Most cooks can find a use for a citrus juicer, making it an excellent tool to have around the kitchen and a good gift as well. Most kitchen supply stores stock citrus juicers, usually in a wide range of styles. The most simple type of citrus juicer is a citrus reamer. A citrus reamer consists of a ridged cone attached to a handle. The consumer cuts a piece of fruit in half and holds it in one hand while pressing the conical part of the reamer against it to extract the juice. As a basic, easily used kitchen tool, a citrus reamer makes a great juicer. As one can imagine, using a citrus reamer for large volumes of juice can get tiring. A citrus reamer also does not strain out pulp or seeds.
