How do I get the most juice out of a lemon?

Question

Someone said to roll it on the counter before cutting.Does this help?

Answer 1

Microwave 8 seconds.... works wonders!

Answer 2

Rolling it (or squeezing it before you cut it) makes a lemon easier to squeeze. If you're just squeezing it by hand that will help. But the best way with a reamer. You crush the whole insides of the lemon and end up with just the skin! You can't get more juice than that!

You then strain out the pulp. But if you're really -anal- and want to get every last bit of juice, put the pulp in several thicknesses of oilcloth and squeeze -that-.

Now you got the skin, the pulp/seeds, and the juice, all separate. Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment? 8^)

Answer 3

Get more juice from a lemon by any of these methods:
punch a small hole in it and mocrowave for 30 seconds,
an old fashioned juicer (the hand-held one ,usually wooden), ground around inside the lemon half. Be sure to use a small strainer to catch the seeds,
with lemon at room temperature, roll the lemon around on the counter with the palm of your hand.
