Juice Lemon Squeezers

Lemon squeezers are of two varieties. In one style, which is especially good for rapid work, the lemon, cut in half, is placed in a cup-shaped receptacle to which a long handle is attached and a duplicate is pressed against it. The juice runs through holes in the implement. These are generally of heavy tinned iron which may be used safely with the acid lemon juice, because the juice is not heated and also does not remain long in contact with the metal. They are also made of wood, porcelain, or aluminum.

The other variety is of glass with a domelike projection having knobs on it, on which the half lemon is pressed and rubbed. The juice either collects in a trough at the base or runs through slots into a receptacle. This variety does not extract the oil from the lemon peel as does the other style of squeezer.
