Cutting a lemon for juicing
Cutting a lemon for juicing is a bit different than cutting one for other purposes. When juicing, you want to maximize the amount of juice you get out of the lemon while still having wedges that are easy to hold and squeeze. Here are a few tips on how to cut lemon wedges for juicing:
– Use a sharp knife to cut off the ends of the lemon.
– Cut the lemon in half lengthwise, then slice each half into three or four wedges.
– If your lemon is very ripe, you may want to seed it before juicing. To do this, simply cut each wedge in half and remove the seeds with your fingers or a fork.
