Line a citrus squeezer or garlic press with thin cloth to filter pulp while pressing oil
Cover the holes of a lime/lemon squeezer (or garlic press) with a very thin fabric so oil can pass through while solids are held back.
The creator uses a thin piece of fabric (handkerchief-thin) as a filter inside the press. For the citrus squeezer, they cover the holes before loading the dried avocado pulp. The same lining approach is shown for a garlic press.
The short version
- Use very thin cloth so oil can pass through
- Cover press holes to keep solids back
What you need
- thin fabric/clothHandkerchief-thin; used as a filter liner
- lime/lemon squeezeroptionalPreferred for larger batches
- garlic pressoptionalWorks well for small amounts
How to do it
- 1
Cut a very thin piece of fabric (handkerchief-thin).
The creator suggests buying thin fabric from a fabric store.
Watch this step - 2
For a citrus squeezer: lay the cloth inside so it covers the holes.
Make sure the holes are covered before loading pulp.
Watch this step - 3
For a garlic press: place the cloth down inside the press in the same way.
Use this for small amounts; the citrus squeezer holds more.

What goes wrong
Using fabric that’s too thick
Use very thin cloth so oil can drip through.
Why it works
The cloth acts as a fine filter, reducing pulp (“gut”) in the expressed oil and helping prevent blowouts through the press holes.

Use the oven as an alternative to an air fryer for finishing the pizza
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can finish cooking the topped pizza in the oven instead.
Finish a topped pizza in an air fryer at 180°C for 7 minutes
After topping the base, cook it in an air fryer at 180°C for about 7 minutes to melt cheese and heat through.
Use the small feed-tube drip hole for slow, controlled liquid addition
If your food processor pusher has a small hole, use it to add liquids slowly (e.g., for dressings) while processing.
Use the correct pusher size so the ingredient fits the feed tube (and pushes safely)
Choose the feed tube insert and matching pusher that fits your ingredient so it feeds straight and your hands stay away from the disc.
