Guest Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I need urgent help (hence posting here) I have a ton of lemon curd to make TONIGHT and my food processor has gone on the blink, it's actually leaking, I think the seal has gone (it's very old and has served me well over the years but still ) how do I juice a gazillion lemons in the most effective way, to get the most juice with the least effort? I haven't got a normal lemon juicer Will I have to don the rubber gloves and sueeze them by hand? help me!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I hope you dont have to do that!, I dont know the answer but what a time to break! I always juice everything citrus with a fork and twist and squeeze etc but that would take you ages wouldn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Warming them a little in the microwave helps make juicing easier and I've used the end of my rolling pin before when I lost my juicer. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerlady Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Ditto on the microwave tip but any chance of throwing yourself on the mercy of a neighbour to see if they might have something more efficient than a fork??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 roped hubby in to do the rest Will have to get one of those lemon reamers, are they any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Reamers are OK - I use a little juicer with a dish under...... If you roll each lemon on a hard surface before juicing, you will get more juice out of them. I hope you managed to get them all done.

Mrs Frugal Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I love my wooden lemon reamer but my best juicer is one I found on Ebay which works like a big garlic press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
