How Do You Use A Hand Held Zester?
A hand held zester is a small kitchen utensil typically used to grate the peel of a lemon, lime, or orange. Citrus zest is a common ingredient used in mixed drinks as well as many other recipes. Pick up the fruit you need to zest with one hand and the zester with the other hand. Put a bowl or container underneath the zester to catch all the grated peel. Place the fruit or peeling precisely on the blade of the zester. Rub the zester back and forth along the peel of the fruit at a steady pace. Add the grated peel (zest) into your recipe.
