FAQs About Citrus Juicers

Manual juicers are best for occasional use or when juicing small amounts, offering control and simplicity. Electric juicers, however, are ideal for frequent juicing due to their speed and efficiency, making them better suited for larger batches.

Cleaning a juicer is straightforward, with most having detachable, dishwasher-safe parts. For manual cleaning, rinse components immediately after use and follow the product guide for thorough cleaning techniques.

While citrus juicers specialize in soft, juicy fruits, some electric models can process certain non-citrus options. For fibrous or harder fruits, a masticating or centrifugal juicer is recommended for optimal results.

Fresh citrus juice is best enjoyed immediately for maximum nutrients and flavor. If stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it can last up to 48 hours while retaining quality.

Juicers and squeezers serve similar purposes but differ in design and functionality. A squeezer is a manual tool, often handheld, ideal for small-scale juicing tasks like squeezing lemons or limes. In contrast, juicers—manual or electric—are more versatile and suitable for extracting juice from a wider variety of fruits, including those with tougher skins or more pulp. Juicers typically offer more features, such as pulp separation and higher juice yields, making them a better choice for frequent use or larger quantities.

The choice depends on your juicing needs. Squeezers are perfect for quick, small-scale tasks like adding a splash of lemon to a recipe or drink. They are compact, affordable, and easy to clean. Juicers, on the other hand, are more versatile and efficient for larger quantities or a wider range of fruits and vegetables. If you juice regularly or need advanced features like pulp separation, a juicer is the better investment. For occasional, straightforward tasks, a squeezer is a practical option.
