We all love to enjoy a good meal, especially one that is tasty and has a tangy, sour taste in the mouth. The use of lemons is common in our cuisine and this fruit has a lot to do with leaving this unique flavor. However, not many people know how to benefit from lemon juice, or don’t know how to do it. So, to enjoy lemon juice properly, here are some tips to help you get the most out of it.
Put it in the microwave for 20 seconds
With this option we will be able to soften the membrane that contains all the lemon juice. Then you have to cut it in half to get all the juice out. This way we will get 30% more juice than the usual way.
slice lemon lengthwise
This way we get three times as much juice. We can cut it into quarters if we want. This will make it easier to squeeze with your hands.
check the size of the lemon
Lemons vary in size, firmness, colour, rind and aroma; so, the amount of lemon juice depends on its condition. For example, a small four-ounce lemon provides about three tablespoons of juice. A medium five-ounce lemon can provide up to four tablespoons of juice, and a large six-ounce lemon can provide about five tablespoons of juice.
vibrato trick
The mechanism involves punching a hole in one end of the lemon with a pointed element, which can be a skewer or a braided stick. Then we take it out and place a glass or container under the lemon. When the citrus is squeezed, the juice will flow from the perforation.
By following these simple steps, we can better enjoy our meals.
