Do you cut lemons the right way before squeezing them?
A lemon is cut lengthwise, not widthwise.
This mistake, we all make it, because it's more practical to catch a lemon cut in half in the width.

1. Hold your lemon straight.
2. Cut from top to bottom your lemon. Be careful, the knife must not slip on the lemon.
