I got one of these at Dollar Tree recently, and the lemons that I have are too large to fit in the receptacle side. I assume that there is a difference in the diameters of my cheap model and others. Gonna measure and go looking around for a replacement. The cheapie will probably work fine for limes.

These are some great tips Elaine. I have the same one and it has saved me so much time in the kitchen.

I have just received one from Amazon. I consider myself of adequate intelectual ability yet somehow upon receiving it baffled me! Anyway, thank you for the demonstration!!

You are supposed to put lemon in lemon squeezer flat top side up, but you’re also supposed to slice the “pointy” ends a bit until you see a bit of pulp. Your welcome.
