Get the most out of your Valtify kitchen tools with our care guides, cleaning tips, and kitchen how-tos.

Caring for Your Stainless Steel Tools

Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately to maintain the finish. Avoid harsh abrasives or soaking for extended periods.

Caring for Wooden Utensils

Hand wash only — never put wooden utensils in the dishwasher. Occasionally rub with food-grade mineral oil to keep the wood conditioned and prevent cracking.

How to Juice a Lemon Using a Hand Squeezer

Step 1: Slice the Lemon in Half

  • Place the lemon on a cutting board and cut it directly down the middle into two equal halves.

  • Tip: For maximum juice, microwave your lemon for 10–15 seconds before squeezing. Always squeeze with the cut side facing down into the squeezer cup,

Step 2: Cut an "X" Shape

  • On the cut side (pulp side) of the lemon half, make two small crisscrossing slits to form an "X".

  • Tip: This breaks up the internal membranes, helping you extract maximum juice!

Step 3: Place the Lemon Half in the Squeezer

  • Place the lemon half into the squeezer bowl with the cut/pulp side facing down (towards the holes).

Step 4: Squeeze the Handles Together

  • Hold the squeezer over a bowl or cup and press the handles firmly together until all the juice is extracted.
