Question 2

How can I cut my lemon bars cleanly?

Accepted Answer

To get those nice clean lemon squares like the ones you see in the bakery, keep a bowl of hot water next to you while you are cutting. Dip your knife in the water and wipe it clean before and after each slice.

Question 3

Can I make these in the instant pot?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can make these in an instant pot but you will need to find a cake pan that fits. It is also best to have a trivet and a sling to easier remove the pan afterward. Cover the pan with foil to keep out the condensation and pressure cook for 20 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally and move the pan to a wire rack to cool.

Question 4

How do I zest a lemon?

Accepted Answer

You can zest a lemon using a grater or a lemon zester. First, rinse the lemons in warm water to make sure you get all the wax off. Then, just rub the lemon gently across the grater or zester. Avoid the white parts. They are very bitter.
