Review on 🍋 FreshForce Lime Juicer by Chef'n by Collin Jackson

First, make sure you are ordering the right product. I wanted a lime juicer, but on my first try I got a Chef 'n FreshForce (Lime) citrus juicer that was lime colored but not lime sized. It's really meant for oranges or large lemons, not limes. This review is about the Chef'n FreshForce Lime Juicer itself. We have been using the Cuisinart CCJ-500 electric juicer for a number of years now. It works well, but it takes about half an hour to juice a Costco bag of limes, so I was looking for something more efficient. My main gripe with Cuisinart is that a lot of oil is released from the lime zest during juicing, making it difficult to hold half of the lime against the extender. You should stop halfway to each lime half and wipe the lime and your hands. The Chef 'n Squeezer is quicker and easier to use than the Cuisinart, but it seems to leave a lot of juice in the lime zest. So I had a snack with a fresh bag of limes. I sized 38 limes and separated the pairs into two piles. One stack weighed 1134g and the other 1130g, so the stacks were about the same. I squeezed out a shot with Cuisinart and one with Chef'n. Just before each juicing, I microwaved each stack of limes for two minutes, then cut them in half. I placed the limes chef 'n cut side down. It took 10:25 to press a shot of Cuisinart and it yielded 510g of juice. Chef'n took 6:45 and produced 427g of juice, or 16% less. However, the Cuisinart juice was noticeably more bitter. I think I was overworked the whole time. Chef'n's speed also has some value - about 35% faster. I'll have to repeat this test with a less aggressive Cuisinarting (which should also save some time). But early results seem to confirm that Chef'n is a faster option that delivers superior results. One thing I'd like to note is that I've never seen a lime in Chef'n, which seems to be the standard for all YouTube videos. Usually the edges are bent about 6mm and the ejected lime is in the shape of a washer. Costco limes are small and the Chef 'n Juicer isn't compact enough to handle them properly. much less aggressive with the Cuisinart juicer. The press produced 520g of juice and the rotary juicer produced 599g of juice from a selected batch of limes. This time the rotary juice tasted just as good, and as a side benefit of not squeezing every last drop out of the rotary juicer too hard, it was much quicker to use – about on par with Chef'n. Press. Downgrading from 4 to 3 stars because Chef'n leaves a lot of unpressed juice, the extraction process is not faster and the same juice quality is achievable with a rotary juicer. It's good for juicing a lime here or there, but for larger batches I'll stick with the traditional style.
