OK I know this one oddly enough this is how i clean my microwave oven i take a Pyrex dish with about 2 cups of water and a whole lemon cut in half , cook it on high for 8-9 minutes or until the water is boiling and the steam from the water loosens the gunk inside of the microwave and i use the lemon half as a scrubber and then i wipe it out with a microfiber cloth rinse and re wipe!. and it works great! plus it is a natural freshener for the microwave oven!. throw the non toxic water in the sink and the lemon in the garbage disposal and freshen that as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends!. With the peel, it's going to be DISGUSTING!. I made a raspberry cake and put lemon marmalade that I made myself in the middle and I wasted 30 dollars worth of material because it was bitter!. I don't know what kind of an idiot came up with the recipe!. It said with the peel!. I also wasted a really fine cheese I put in it!.

Without the peel, you get juice! Add some sugar in it and cool it later!. Then, you'll have a nice lemonade!. Add LOTS of sugar and you get jam/marmalade!.

If you don't add anything, you'll get lemon juice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you boil a lemon without the peel, you'll get a pretty nice lemonade!. Just add some sugar!. However, if you boil it with the peel on, you'll get a pungent-tasting liquid that makes a good cleaning agent!. You can actually use it instead of dishwashing liquid if your dishes aren't too greasy, but it's not fit to drink or cook with!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have never tried it but i'm assuming if you boiled sliced lemon you would end up with some lemon water of sorts but with a whole lemon i'm not sure what would happen!.!.!.!.!. hmm i'll have to research that one!.!.ok i looked it up and here is the only thing i could find on boiling lemons that made any sense to me!.!. hope this is the answer you was looking for!.!.!.!.
