Kitchen Tools: Hand Juicers

Nothing better than fresh squeezed Orange Juice.  We are blessed to have fruit bearing trees in the neighborhood that produce so many oranges that if you pick them and squeeze them then the juice is yours for free!  We have a huge avocado tree that produces more fruit than you cold eat in a lifetime so we swap avocados for lemons, oranges, figs, plums and tomatoes.  Pretty good deal!

I love my hand juicer!  I have a smaller one for lemons and limes and it is equally as good.  This one I bought at a Mexican grocery store for $9.00.  I have seen them at Sur La Table and Amazon has some too.  The lime squeezer works great for making cocktails.

 

You can get so much juice from an easy press.

I also heart my Kitchen Aid non-electric juicer.  I can't find this exact style for sale anywhere.....???  Odd cause it is a good one.  Lots of other styles on the market that are similar.  Target has one by OXO.  This style works good for large over-sized oranges.

Oh man.....those sliced oranges are making me thirsty!
