Carla Hall Confirms That the Chefs on 'Worst Chefs in America' Really Are That Bad | Food Network

With summer in full swing and temperatures rising an ice cold drink is a great way to cool down and stay hydrated at the same time. One drink I’ve been making more and more often is Strawberry Lemonade. It’s so refreshing on these hot summer days! So I’ve been squeezing quite a few lemons lately. If you’re in the same boat as me and are looking for ways to get the most juice out of your fruit Carla Hall may have the answer.

The celebrity chef and former co-host of The Chew is known for her delicious soul food and bubbly personality. She recently tried her best to settle a heated debate over the most effective way to use a popular kitchen gadget: the citrus juicer.

In a recent Instagram reel the celebrity chef and cookbook author compared two methods of squeezing limes using a manual juicer. She cut a lime in half and tested each option measuring the amount of juice. First Hall squeezed the juice from half a lime with the cut side down. Then she squeezed the other half into the juicer with the cut side up.
