What Is Reamer?
Reamer: A ridged, cone-shaped tool that you twist inside a halved citrus fruit to extract the juice.
In the kitchen
Press the reamer into the cut side of the fruit and turn it back and forth, squeezing the fruit as you twist. It is cheap, compact and gets more juice out of a small fruit like calamansi than squeezing by hand.
Roll the fruit firmly on the counter before cutting to loosen the juice, and strain out seeds afterward. A handheld squeezer works too, but a reamer needs no space and has no moving parts.
