What practical utility does making a lemon squeezer out of ceramic and adding a spout offer during actual use?

Since we often come across press-type squeezers made of metal or plastic, it makes one wonder what practical utility a squeezer made of ceramic provides in cooking or maintenance.

hmmm editorial answer

It takes advantage of ceramic's property that does not absorb odors or stain from highly acidic juice, while helping pour the squeezed juice directly through the spout without spilling.

Looking at Azmaya products, are there common recurring characteristics in the way they are made?

From ceramics to metal tableware, the production workshops and regions differ for each tool, making one wonder how the brand produces its goods.

hmmm editorial answer

Azmaya does not have its own production facilities or exclusive designers, but repeatedly uses a method of visiting workshops and artisans across Japan to create everyday items together.

Is it okay to scrub and wash canvas bags or clothes with a kitchen scourer?

I saw information in the kitchen scourer description stating that it can be used for hand-washing canvas bags or shirt collars. I asked this question out of concern that the fabric might get damaged when scrubbed with a stiff brush intended for washing dishes.

hmmm editorial answer

The windmill palm scourer can be used not only for washing kitchen dishware, but also for spot hand-washing stiff canvas bags or stained shirt collars.
