If you have signed up for a cooking class, one that is going to focus on the preparation of Persian foods, then you ought to purchase a lime squeezer. Do not try to save money by buying a cheap plastic item. Instead, invest in a good quality, metal lime squeezer. 

If you are going to be making lots of Persian food, then you can expect to use lemon or lime juice at a rate that demands the presence of a dependable juice-maker. In other words, unless you obtain a squeezer, you can expect to be counting on your hand to squeeze out large amounts of a sour tasting liquid. Even if you purchase a large bottle of lemon juice, you will still end up wanting a squeezing gadget. An Iranian cook puts about two tablespoons of sour tasting liquid into each pot of sauce. That sauce then gets poured over a hill of hot, white rice.

When an Iranian hostess entertains, then she often uses the juice of a sour tasting citrus fruit to make her salad dressing. She will first sprinkle the salad greens with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Then she will sprinkle on some mint flakes as well. Of course, those ingredients fail to moisten the rather dry greens. Therefore, many hostesses that hail from Iran pour either lemon or lime juice over the seasoned ingredients in a tossed salad.

Still, she does not make an effort to obtain a few extra ounces of juice, so that she can hold it in reserve for later. Instead, she makes any unused limes available to her guests. She knows that they might want to use it on something called “pollo,” a mixture of rice, meat and other tasty morsels, such as dried herbs and dried fruits. Certain pollos seem to “beg for” the contents of a juicy lime.
