A regular juicer is great for making juice out of all kinds of fruits, especially ones like apples and pears that puree easily.
However, when it comes to citrus fruit, a dedicated citrus juicer is a better choice. These juicers have a better design for this purpose, and are often less expensive.
If you enjoy fresh squeezed orange juice, grapefruit juice, or even lemonade, but are tired of squeezing these fruits by hand, a citrus juicer might be the right choice for you.
There are two basic kinds of citrus juicer – the kind that work manually and those that are electric. The manual kind are least expensive, but it can take some muscle to juice a large number of oranges or lemons by hand.
These juicers are only suited for citrus fruits, so they’re best if you prefer to have citrus juice, or as an accompaniment to a regular juicer.
A manual citrus juicer will work best for people who only need to juice a few lemons, limes, or other citrus fruits at a time. These items come in a few varieties, including the manual reamer and citrus press.
Higher quality manual citrus juicers include a spout or container to hold the juice or direct it away from the juicing surface. If you buy a cheaper model, you’ll have to provide your own juice container.
If this doesn’t fit your juicer well, you could have a sticky problem on your hands.
When looking for an electric citrus juicer, there are a number of options. Familiar companies like Cuisinart product electric citrus reamers, and many manufacturers of regular juicers also produce a model made for citrus fruit.
These juicers provide the easiest and fastest way of making citrus juice, particularly if you want to include the whole fruit (with the white material between segments) for additional nutrition.
No matter which type of citrus juicer you decide on, look for a model that will be easy to clean. Juicers that come all the way apart and which don’t have tiny nooks and crevices are the best type.
Small corners can be unsanitary, trapping fruit bits and liquid where they’re hard to scrub out. A strong, easy to clean citrus juicer is your best option.
