metal handheld lemon squeezer — for grilled meat, salads, and fish finishing
Fresh lemon juice is the finishing note of the Turkish and Middle Eastern kitchen — squeezed over köfte the moment it comes off the grill, over a salad of cucumber and tomato dressed in olive oil, over a whole fish just out of the oven. For Leyla and Fatima, the lemon squeezer is not an occasional tool but a daily one: it is reached for at almost every meal, which is exactly why it deserves to be a good one rather than the cheapest plastic option.
Available in four colors — White, Red, Green, and Orange. Metal construction for durability. Seeds are caught in the strainer; juice flows direct.

Why We Selected This Piece
At Rootsware, we carry kitchen tools that belong in a Turkish or Middle Eastern kitchen — the flat metal skewer for sis kebab, the serving tong for a proper mezze spread, the lemon squeezer that gets used at almost every meal. These are necessities in the household that cooks this cuisine regularly.
Care & Cleaning
- Hand-wash with mild soap and warm water after each use.
- For metal skewers: dry immediately to prevent rust. Store flat or hanging.
- For bamboo and wooden tools: hand-wash only. Never soak or dishwasher. Wood absorbs water and splits.
- For metal tools: dishwasher safe unless the handle is wood or plastic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between flat and round skewers?
Flat skewers prevent meat from spinning when you turn them. For kofte and shish kebab, always use flat.
How many skewers do I need?
6 skewers covers one round for a family grill. Buy two sets of 6 for more than 4 people.
Can I use bamboo skewers on charcoal?
Yes, but soak in water for 30 minutes before use. Metal skewers do not require soaking and are reusable indefinitely.
