Hello and welcome back to In The Kitchen With Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I have another exciting product review episode
for you.
I'm going to be reviewing this product called Manual Citrus
Presser by Zulay.
Now, this is a made specifically for lemons
and limes, but you can use it for smaller oranges as well.
Really cool little product.
They got in touch with me and asked me if I wanted to review
it and I said sure.
So they sent it over to me.
So that's why I'm going to do.
When I first looked at this on Amazon, I was really
impressed with how much exposure it has on there.
So many links, like over two thousand and an average of
close to five stars.
So I was pretty excited to use it onto the review.
All right.
So what I want to do is I want to show you how to use it and
the ease of using it and also talk about why you would want
to use this one over like this one that I have.
I've used this one for years, or if you would want to use
your electric juicer if you happen to have
an electric juicer.
All right.
So first of all, how to use it?
So when you open it up, it has these different sizes.
If you have a bigger one than what you'll do if you lift this
up and you'll put your orange or your lemon in there.
Now, let's go ahead and test it out.
See you put it this way.
And right away you'll notice that that orange, which is a
medium to large size orange, will not fit in there.
So that's the reason why I cut up a large one, is to show you
that this won't fit.
But like I said, this is made for mostly for lemons
and limes.
But I have a smaller orange here, so this
is perfect.
You put it in there like that and then what we'll do.
He's just coming here and you just squeeze it, look at that.
And it gets pretty much
every drop out of there and it doesn't require a ton of
pressure to do this really, really nice.
And if you notice, I didn't get squirted too much,
which happens sometimes when you use your hand and look
at that, look how much we pushed out of there.
Really cool.
So let me show you one more time.
Let's put it in there.
Put that down.
And just squeeze.
Really nice.
Now, here's the thing
that's pretty much all there is to it, two different sizes,
one for the lime, one for the lemon or small
oranges works great.
Where I could see this being used the most is like if you
have a line and you want to, like, squirt a little bit on
your food or on like a salad or something like that.
And you don't want to you don't need a whole lot of juice,
really quick and easy to use that.
And if you don't want to use your hand, a lot of people do
not like squeezing lemons and limes in their hand.
So that's great.
Perfect for that.
Now, would I use this for like 20 oranges or something like
that to make orange juice?
Well, maybe sometimes this one right here, like if you take a
look at this one and I have
yet to put the orange on here and you push down turn
and it takes forever
and ever
to get all the juice out.
And then I wind up still having to squeeze it to get
more juice out.
And it can kind of be a little bit onerous on your wrist and
get kind of tiresome, but there's the two options.
So honestly, if I was going to make a ton of juice, which is
and I was going to do it a lot, I would buy
myself a juicer.
But for little things once in a while, I would recommend this
for sure over this, because now that was one half of an orange
and you got to pour it out and it's not going to come out all
nice and spread out.
It's going to be drained out like, look, when you
pour it, going to come out like that.
Which may not be what you want for like on a salad
or like food.
This one has these little holes and it'll come out and just be
more spread out, if that makes sense.
Pretty cool little tool.
All right.
There's a short little look at this citrus presser by Zulay.
My first impressions, I really liked it.
It works really well with medium to small citrus,
small oranges, lemons and the limes.
Perfect for just if you don't want to use your hand to
squeeze it, great.
If you only have like a half of one or more, you just want to
use one and squeeze on, you know, as a topping for your
salad or some kind of dish that you're going to eat.
Great for that.
It's obviously you can't use big citrus with it, which makes
sense because it's a hand tool.
I like it much more than this one.
If I was going to if I had a bunch of medium size oranges or
lemons and I wanted to make a lemonade, I would use the
hand one or the Zulay one before I would use this one.
I don't like this one that much.
And every time I use it after like two or three times,
my wrist just gets tired of spinning like that.
So
I don't know how often I'm going to use this one anymore.
But again, big oranges won't work on this or big lemons or
grapefruit or whatever.
So you'll have to use something like this.
Or in that case, if you have a bunch of that stuff, just buy
an electric juicer, one out of 10.
You need this in your kitchen.
I'm going to put it right around an eight or nine.
It's super handy.
It's very helpful.
I like it.
I'm glad that I own it.
Glad they to me.
So, yeah, if you find that if you think there's something
that could be useful for you, pick yourself up.
