We aim to add a little zest to your winter… with citrus fruit! Their juicy insides are bursting with flavor (and vitamin C)! We’ve gathered a few tools we deem essential for brightening your winter meals.
- Citrus Reamer
This classic tool is a powerhouse for removing the most juice from your citrus fruits. Easy to hold and manipulate, you can force every last drop of juice to be extracted. Typically made from wood, these reamers should be washed by hand after use (keep out of the dishwasher). Squeeze your juice over a strainer to catch and errant seeds.

Citrus squeezers simplify your juicing experience. Simply insert (cut side down!) half of a lemon, lime or orange in their respectively sized squeezer. Bring the handles together to extract the juice. The liquid will exit through the holes in the bottom and the stray seeds will remain in the squeezer. Fast and easy. Shop lime, lemon, and orange squezers here. - Citrus Peeler
The Citrus Peeler simplifies the removal of orange peels. Slide the tooth-like protrusion from top to bottom to slice the peel without touching the underlying fruit. Then, using the end of the tool, you can get underneath the peel without embedding the pith in your fingernail. Easy enough for kids to use, you’ll find every member of your family reaching for this useful tool. It’s inexpensive (99 cents) and small, making it easy to find a space in your utensil drawer.
