Lemon Zester Tool for Kitchen - Citrus Zester Tool with Channel Knife,Orange Zester Grater with Handle,Citrus Peeler for Cocktails

Product Information

A kitchen zester is approximately four inches (100mm) long, with a handle and a curved metal end, the top of which is perforated with a row of round holes with sharpened rims. This will stabilize the grater for easier zesting, and it will allow you to see how much zest you’ve made as you’re working.

You want to gently scrape the orange along the Microplane only getting the orange off from the peel.If your bowl is big enough, you can set the grater on the bottom and grate right inside the bowl to keep pieces of peel from getting everywhere. In this easy-to-follow guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps on how to zest an orange, so you can transform ordinary recipes into extraordinary masterpieces. Rotate the orange as necessary until all zest is removed, and only the white bitter pith is left behind. In this article, you’ll learn a few basic ways to make orange zest and some tips for using it in your cooking, baking, and cocktails.

Of course, the smaller the hole, the finer the zest will be, so you'll need to think about how you like your zest. The grater method is self-explanatory—simply run the orange over the smallest set of slots on the grater to shave off the colorful peel. If you want to incorporate flavorful orange zest into your favorite recipes but don't have a zester on hand, you can use a grater or a vegetable peeler and a sharp paring knife to get the job done.Drag the orange along the grater toward the cutting board, maintaining enough pressure to remove the top layer of the rind. For home cooking, most folks only need three knives to get any job done: a chef knife, a serrated bread knife, and a paring knife. Even with the smallest set of holes, your zest may turn out slightly larger than if you had used a microplane or zester.
