Hi
at my bakery there's a pastry lady who makes zucchini bread or something with finely-grated zucchini. she seems to have to get a lot of the excess juice/water out of it somehow & she was just cupping her hands & squeezing it out that way which seemed to take a long time. she did the same thing with canned mooshed pineapple to get the excess juice out. she has strainers she has tried but they aren't fine enough. i wonder if anyone has any better ideas. i thought of getting two bowls, putting the grated zucchini in one of them then putting the other bowl on top & squeezing the bowls together with one hand on each side. something else i thought of would be to get a press like a garlic mincer which she could fill up with whatever she wanted to squeeze & just pull on the handle. can anyone think of anything better than those things.
