About this deal
It is a little harder to stay away from the orange pith and you have to chop it after but you will end up getting the same results. On the other hand, there's no point spending too much if you plan on using it only a few times a year. Although the holes on zesters are always smaller than those on cheese graters, some are extremely small whereas others are mid-sized. 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.
Whether canned or freshly made from your favorite compact juicer brand, fruit juice is an ideal alternative in case you run out of orange zest in your kitchen. Some people prefer to hang zesters, since you can easily nick yourself on the sharp zesting blades while rooting around in a drawer. Now, examine the long ribbon-like peels, and scrape away any white pith that may have come away with the zest.A. Zesters don't need much maintenance, but you should thoroughly wash and dry them before storing to avoid rust.
On a typical box grater, the smallest holes tend to be on one of the sides rather than the broad front or back faces. Literally, you can add orange zest to almost anything… Cheesecake, apple pie, chicken wings marinade, you name it.Rinse the orange under the faucet for a few seconds, using your fingers to gently wipe away any traces of dirt or waxy residue. Try to scrape away as much of the peel as you can from top to bottom, but avoid cutting down to the bitter white pith.
