Manufactured by Italian kitchenware company Alessi and made from cast and polished aluminium, it is 14 centimetres (5.5 in) in diameter, and 29 cm (11 in) high. It is considered an icon of industrial design, and has been displayed in the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Perhaps the most famous example of this is the Juicy Salif, designed by Philippe Starck in 1990. Not all squeezers are only meant to squeeze. Philippe Starck's Juicy Salif squeezer (1990) It is no longer possible to reconstruct how many of those patents were actually produced for the market. Usually, leverage or screw presses were used. The patents vary mainly in their different mechanisms how they create this pressure. It is noteworthy that nearly all of these patents merely put pressure on the lemon or lemon half, without the fruit being rotated. They range from small models to be used at the table (with which individual lemon wedges can be squeezed out over a glass or dish) to mechanically complex equipment which is firmly attached to the kitchen table or counter with screw clamps. The patents filed around the turn of the 19th/20th century show a variety of different functional principles. The stated purpose of the invention was "to obtain a simple, economical and durable implement whereby lemons may be squeezed for domestic purposes with much less power and with far greater facility than by the ordinary squeezers in general use." The oldest of these patents was issued to Lewis S. Patent and Trademark Office lists over 200 patents for lemon squeezers, the majority of which were registered between 18. Īt the end of the 19th century a large number of different models of lemon squeezers were patented in the United States. Lemons are not native to northern Turkey, though during the 17th and 18th centuries they were imported in bulk to Constantinople. These examples were individually made, and specially designed for making the then popular citrus drink sorbet. These ceramic presses are in the traditional style of Turkish pottery of the 18th century and have a superficial resemblance to today's press equipment with cones, though they are designed differently. The oldest known lemon squeezers were found in Kütahya, Turkey and date to the first quarter of the 18th century. Lemon squeezers can be made from any solid, acid-resistant material, such as plastic, glass, metal (usually aluminium) or ceramic. It is designed to separate and crush the pulp of the fruit in a way that is easy to operate. A lemon squeezer is a small kitchen utensil designed to extract juice from lemons or other citrus fruit such as oranges, grapefruit, or lime.
