Citrus press
Cut the fruit in half and squeeze the two halves like an orange in a lemon squeezer. The seeds and pulp get stuck in the sieve. Use careful pressure with this variant, as the splashes of juice cause discoloration in clothing. The disadvantage is the unpleasant aftertaste in the juice, which comes from the peel.
Knead
Work the closed pomegranate thoroughly with both hands and apply as much pressure as possible. With this approach, the cores loosen. Apply firm finger pressure to the areas that are not yet soft to the touch. Poke holes in the fruit with a fork and then squeeze out the juice by hand.
Juicer
Steam juicers are an easy and convenient way to get that delicious fruit juice. Loosen the kernels from the shell with a spoon and pour the mixture into the sieve part. Pour water into the lower container and heat the construction on the stovetop.
The rising water vapor causes the cell walls to burst, so that the liquid is released. This collects in a collecting vessel and can be filled directly into bottles at any time via a hose.
Passing device
The cores loosened from the skin can be passed in a liquor lotte without any splashes. Use a perforated disc with the smallest possible openings so that the seeds are caught. The rotating blades press the core mass against the sieve with crank movements, so that the cell walls burst open and the juice flows off.
Tips
If you do not have a Lotte Lotte, you can alternatively use a potato press. However, you have to fill in the fruit mixture in portions and squeeze it out.
