KitchenCraft Wooden Citrus Reamer, 15 cm, Beige

Product Information

The design of the catcher helps eliminate this problem with its soft rubber cup underneath the reaming head, which catches pips and pulp whilst allowing juice to drain through. Cons: The strainers don’t often do a good job of straining the pulp, which can lead to more time spent getting the pulp out of the juice itself.

To operate the Joseph Joseph Helix Juicer, you thread two detachable handles together and then twist them toward each other instead of pressing them. When it comes to cleanup, a good juicer is easy to wash by hand, though dishwasher-friendly ones are a plus.We’ll always try and do what we can to reach a satisfactory resolution and many of our products carry an extended warranty that we can action on your behalf with the manufacturer.

The juices that came from hinged squeezers such as the Chef’n FreshForce Citrus Juicer or KitchenAid Citrus Squeezer ranked quite high for floral quality and fragrance since hinged juicers squeeze more oils from the skin of the citrus.

The mandrel is inserted into the exposed flesh of the fruit and then either the reamer or the fruit is twisted to grind the flesh and extract the juice. While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use. The flexible cup, with an ergonomic soft-grip handle and horizontal design, is perfect for everyday use. Juicers that utilize a reamer mechanism—countertop and handheld models—are sometimes at risk for extracting more bitterness from the pith within the citrus. From sleek electric citrus juicers to small manual hand presses, find the ideal orange juicer to suit your lifestyle and kitchen decor.

If you want the efficiency of a reamer and the convenience of a built-in measuring cup, we recommend the Oxo Good Grips 2-in-1 Citrus Juicer. While all but one of the models we tested are dishwasher-safe, if you can, it’s best to hand-wash the hinged squeezers since pulp can sometimes get caught in the nooks and crannies of the hinges. When we compared it to an electric juicer, the Müeller extracted just as much juice, just as quickly and it was much easier to clean too. Sure, KitchenAid makes good products, but could its handheld citrus press really be that much better than every other handheld citrus press out there? The reamers were the messiest of them all, but this made sense as they were the closest thing to juicing by hand.

Combining a good grain and functionality our olive wood lemon reamer is a great addition for the kitchen and is great for quick effortless juicing. Citrus brings a nice brightness to baked goods, savory dishes, or fancy drinks and you often only need a few tablespoons unless you’re making a pitcher of lemonade or a batch of whiskey sours. Since the bowl was rather small, we found that the juice filled up very quickly and we had to empty it every few lemon halves. Due to its extra sharp edges, the Joie Lemon and Lime Juicer and Reamer scored highest in bitterness.You absolutely must have one hand pressing down on the main shaft while you use the other hand to operate the lever, otherwise the whole thing will come crashing down. The large size is for fruits such as oranges and grapefruit and the smaller one tackles lemons and limes. The juicing process is incredibly efficient, and it’s fun too; there’s a very satisfying pop you can feel when you fully lower the handle and split the peel of larger fruits. The Mueller forced the fruit onto a perforated metal cone and juice flowed through the holes and through a drain-like opening in the bottom.

In fact, I got this for a Christmas gift for my sister in law, but I know I’ll be coming back to get one of my own in the future. This squeezer may look like all the other citrus squeezers on the market but it has a handful of features that squeezed our former top pick, the Chef’n FreshForce, out of the number one spot.They often also come with interchangeable reamers that fit lemons, limes, oranges, or even grapefruits, allowing for a wide world of citrus juicing. Whether it’s pancake day or you’re making healthy, fruity drinks for the kids, this handy tool gives your recipes a real citric kick.
