Citrus Presses

  Citrus juicers are handheld tools that juice a variety of citrus fruits. Cut fruit in half and place the fruit, cut side down, in the well of the juicer. Pull the other side of the juicer (the dome side) down. This will squeeze the citrus, turning it inside out and squeezing out the juice. Citrus presses can be held over bowls, shakers or other containers to add juice directly into your recipe.
  
  

Citrus Reamers

  There are a variety of citrus reamer styles. One of the most common is the handheld reamer. Handheld reamers have a pointy, ridged, tear-shaped head. To use a handheld citrus reamer, hold the reamer over a bowl and place a cut piece of citrus fruit over the pointed end of the reamer. Turn the fruit and reamer back and forth in opposite directions to juice the citrus. There are other reamers that work similarly but are meant to be used on a flat work surface. These reamers often contain a built-in bowl or saucer to capture juice while the citrus is turned back and forth over the reamer head. This type of reamer generally has a spout to pour out the collected juice.

  Citrus zesters are handheld tools with very small holes at the top that cut tiny ribbons of citrus zest, or skin, from the fruit. While graters and peelers can also be used for zesting citrus, many cooks find citrus zesters give the best results.
  
  

Grapefruit Spoons

• Grapefruit spoons are great citrus tools that are used at the table. Grapefruit spoons have a pointed tip and serrated edges that make it easy to cut into and remove grapefruit sections.
