FAQs
Can lemons be frozen for later use?
You can freeze lemons for later use, but don’t freeze them whole; cut them into quarters or wedges instead. They’ll lose some of their structural integrity, but you’ll still get fresh lemon juice out of them.
How to zest a lemon?
Zesting a lemon is easy with azester. However, you can use a box grater or a Microplane grater. Just be careful not to cut your fingers!
How do you clean lemons before using them?
Most of the time, there’s no need to clean lemon, though I usually rinse them. However, you can wash them with dish soap and rinse them under a stream of cold water if you want to make sure they’re clean.
