If you could get 1/4 cup of lemon juice out of one lemon instead of 2 or 3, wouldn’t you want to to?
Rolling it on the counter top to loosen it up is a great trick and I have been known to even wrap it in a towel and roll it under my foot on the floor if it is a really hard one.
After that, putting it in the microwave for 10 seconds will guarantee maximum juice.

As a note, I would NOT recommend doing the microwave step if you are planning on consuming the lemon juice raw. Fresh, raw lemon juice is loaded with vitamin C, enzymes that are great for digestion and detoxifying properties that will all be killed off in the microwave. But if you are juicing for a marinade, sauce or anything that will later be cooked, this is your hack.
Do you have any food hacks you can share with us? Maybe another way to get the most juice out of a citrus fruit? Please tell us about it!
I just let them sit in the bowl of hot water and then squeeze it out
The grandmothers had told me to just heat it up.
Agreed :/
Always adore anything like this
