Zester

In today's article we are going to address the topic of Zester, an issue that has generated interest and debate in different areas. Zester is a topic that is not limited to a single focus, since it can range from personal, professional, cultural, historical, social or political aspects. It is a topic that has captured the attention of many, and it is important to discuss it from different perspectives to better understand its scope and impact. Throughout this article, we will analyze different aspects related to Zester, exploring its implications and possible solutions.

A zester (also citrus zester or lemon zester) is a kitchen utensil for obtaining zest from lemons and other citrus fruit. A kitchen zester is approximately four inches (100 mm) long, with a handle and a curved metal end, the top of which is perforated with a row of round holes with sharpened rims. To operate, the zester is pressed with moderate force against the fruit and drawn across its peel. The rims cut the zest from the pith underneath. The zest is cut into ribbons, one drawn through each hole.

Other tools are also sometimes called zesters because they too are able to separate the zest from a citrus fruit. For example, when Microplane discovered that its surform type wood rasps had become popular as food graters and zesters, it adapted the woodworking tools and marketed them as "zester / graters".
