I searched for a long time before I found a plastic reamer to replace a lost
one I'd had for 20 years. Most are made of wood. And I've found that using
a fork to ream out (poke our fork down into the meat of the lemon or lime)
does a good job. Now, it looks as tho I'm going to have to look for the
cast aluminum Mexican lime squeezer? I'll put it on my list to try to get
at the "global" market next time. I don't use but a lemon/lime a day -- but
one never knows --
Thanks so much.
