Zesters are not rocket science. Anyone with about five good holes that are sharp enough to zest the skin of a piece of citrus will do. 1Easylife has the advantage of being a small footprint, having a loop to hook it on a wall mount of utensils, and being a good hand weight.
$6.99
All lemon zesters are essentially created equal, other than the odd “gadget” variety that tries to reinvent the wheel, and fails more often than not. Â This 1Easylife Lemon Zester has a nice storage loop and is very basic, simple, and not too expensive.
The peel of a lemon is where its essential oils, aka BIG FLAVOR, live. To get at them you zest the peel, a fine grating that takes the surface level off of the pith, the white stuff. To use it, you just scrape the side of a piece of citrus fruit over something to collect the zest.
Rinse immediately after use to prevent citrus oil buildup. Dishwasher safe, but hand washing helps maintain edge sharpness. Dry thoroughly before storage.
Solidly built, inexpensive, and a good space footprint? 1Easylife’s Lemon Zester gets my JazzChef One Diamond seal of approval.
