Filter bag squeezer

This simple filter bag squeezer allows the cook to hygienically squeeze the juice out of the pulp or mush that is caught in the pantyhose juice filter. It can be used with hot or cold filtration.

Previously, I have described a convenient fruit juice filter and a recipe for filtered whole citrus jungle juice. The action of gravity will slowly complete the filtration. However, it sometimes is beneficial to speed the filtration by the use of some suitable simple hygienic device. I have found that a thin plastic kitchen cutting board, that is folded in two, can be very suitable for this purpose.
