Hello my dear readers,
It has been a while since I’ve posted my simple but efficient cooking tips so,
here we are, with my fifth tip in the kitchen:
Roll that citrus to get more juice out.
I know sounds silly but believe me it makes a difference.
And if you don’t believe me, try it. Squeeze a lemon without rolling it and then squeeze a lemon that you’ve rolled it first and compare the amount of juice from both.
Enjoy that citrus until the last drop, because sometimes all a dish needs is a squeeze of lemon or lime to take it to the next level.

Have a lovely day!

I always roll a lemon or a lime before squeezing it. My mother in law taught me this.
Itโs good to not waste any drop of it ๐
Yeah….
So I’ve heard. (Will do.)
Try it too, youโll see the difference ๐
I do this too! ๐ Sometimes I also microwave lemons for a few seconds. Itโs strange but I learned this trick from a cooking show.
Hi Hilary, nice to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by! I hope youโre doing well! Microwaving lemons? Thatโs new! It helps with squeezing or?
I think the microwaving helps to get the juices flowing in the lemon. Helps to roll them a bit before microwaving, and you only have to microwave them for a few seconds! I saw this on the Food Network years ago but I donโt remember which cooking show it was!
Thanks Hilary! Always good to know ๐
Yes, I do the microwave trick, too! Always works a treat if they are really hard and just come out of the fridge.
Thatโs always good to know! I never tried it but next time will do ๐๐
Haven’t heard that one before!
It really is a thing! ๐ Itโs a good hack that works! ๐
When life gives you lemonsโฆ
Make microwaved lemonade lol
Hahaha ๐ Thatโs new ๐๐
Try it! Youโll be amazed ๐ ๐
Cool. Would try it.
๐ Roll and squeeze that lemons ๐๐

That’s a fantastic tip. I sometimes cut the lemon lengthwise as cutting your lemon from top to bottom can help produce a lot of juice too ๐ Aiva xxxx
Haha ๐ Thatโs a very good tip too ๐ Thank you ๐
So true, we do that all the time. Everyone should try this tip ๐
Thank you! There are little tips that can be very useful ๐
I think so too!
I always roll my lemon. My Grandmother used to do it and I followed in her footsteps. ๐
We had a lot to learn from our grandmothers ๐๐ They had a lot of tricks ๐
Hiiii Yes, they did ๐
Totally agree with you ๐ฝ๐
Thank you ๐
I have always rolled all citrus’s but especially limes and lemons, makes them easier to cut also.
Iโm glad to know that this little trick is useful to so many people ๐๐
Love these!
