A simple device for extracting juice from lemons and other citrus fruits. Handheld reamer-style squeezers press and twist the halved fruit against a ridged cone, while lever or hinge presses crush the half between two jaws, yielding juice with minimal effort and keeping pips and pith out. Electric citrus juicers automate the task for larger volumes. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is a staple of cooking and baking, adding acidity to dressings, marinades, desserts, and drinks, and it supplies vitamin C. A good squeezer extracts maximum juice while straining out seeds, and it should be easy to rinse clean after use.
