More freshly squeezed orange juice

If the orange is bathed in hot water for about 10 minutes, you get almost twice the amount of squeezed juice! Also goes with lemons.

But only unspritzt fruits take, because the hot water, the injection pins pressed into the fruit.

adgxv2000: Well, where does the extra juice come from if I bathe the oranges in hot water? This is nothing but the hot water itself, which is absorbed by the oranges. Since it comes out exactly the same, if I express the oranges traditionally and then simply stretch the result with water. Only that then firstly much less effort and secondly also goes with conventional sprayed oranges.
And third, I can drink it right away and do not have to wait until it has cooled down to drinking temperature. It is even better, instead of squeezing out the oranges, peel them and then in the blender possibly with the addition of water and / or ice cubes to juice to process. First of all there is more yield, and secondly all the fiber is still in it, which otherwise ends up in the barrel when it is squeezed out.
And if that's too complicated for you, you just eat the orange in such a way. onkelwilli: My logic center was alerted when reading the tip. Double the amount? Hot water "presses" spray into the fruit? Unfortunately, I have to refer to the realm of the fable.

Whether one receives much or little juice, depends primarily on the juice content of the fruit. The thickness of the shell is also decisive. For once, the oranges should be eaten in the shop. Often you can already feel if they are already largely dried out.

For larger quantities, the purchase of an electric citrus press is recommended. If I squeeze out a whole net, so that the effort is well worth it, the wrist of the "normal" press quickly slackens. Mine anyway.
