Got a question on Reddit as to how I juice limes using my generic countertop cast iron juicer. I picked this up from a McMenamins bartender in Kalama, WA. Speeds up the juicing, gets more juice out, and makes it easy to press every last drop out.
First, cut a coin off one end:
Then add a small slice across the line about a quarter of the way into the lime. This opens it up a bit:
Stand your lime up on the juicer plate and crank it:
That’s it! You can also press the lime shell a bit to make sure all the juice gets got. I’ve only ever observed a teaspoon or so left behind, however.
