Reader Tip: Juice Key Limes with a Garlic Press

Here's a quick tip from reader Jennifer, who added at least one more good use to her garlic press. She says:

I was making key lime bars last night and came up with a great tip - use your garlic press to juice the tiny limes!! Just cut them in half and they fit perfectly in the little slot. The press also catches any unwanted seeds.

Thanks, Jennifer!

Have you ever found another good use for a unitasker?

THANK YOU! I was just trying to juice key limes the other day and getting quite frustrated. What a great idea!

A chef friend of mine got caught showing up late to work, and his boss made him juice about 50 pounds of key limes. By hand. He'll like this tip for next time he's late.

holy crap this is brilliant. I have to try this. I love key lime pie.

i've done this before. Be very very careful. Your garlic press must be insanely clean or your juice will have a garlic essence!

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I was juices tiny limes one handed as I broke my fingerthe day before a dinner party. This woulda helped SO much!!!!!!
