Squeeze lemons with tongs
Squeezing lemons typically requires being built like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime. For some odd reason, lemons can sense weakness, and without the arm strength of a pro bodybuilder, you’ll only get a few measly drops of the liquid.
However, if you squeeze a lemon half with tongs, you can extract nearly every drop. Place the lemon half in the middle of the tongs and squeeze using both hands. If you think you got every last drip, squeeze a bit more until the lemon runs completely dry. Needless to say, this simple trick also works with limes.
