The Zester fine citrus peel peeler is specially designed for grating the outer part of the peel of citrus fruits. The English term 'zest' refers to the topmost coloured layer of the citrus peel, which contains fragrant essential oils. The peel of lemons, oranges, limes and other citrus fruits is widely used in the kitchen to flavour a variety of dishes, from sweet desserts to dressings and sauces to pasta and roasted meats, but also to decorate them, both fresh and candied. The zester grates the thin peel precisely and accurately, without undesirable damage to the fruit.

Citrus peel - tips:

• For citrus peel, choose citrus fruits that have not been chemically treated
• Wash the fruit thoroughly under cold running water
• Lightly scrub off any grease and dirt with your fingers
• Dry thoroughly
• Place the zester grinder diagonally on the work surface and gently grate the surface citrus peel
• Be careful not to hit the bitter white layer of the skin, which is just below the rind
• Gradually turn the fruit until you get the desired amount of peel
• You can also hold the grater in the air and grate e.g. directly into the bowl with sweet cream
• Use the fine shavings for cooking preferably immediately, while the bark is fresh and aromatic
• Use the fruit without the peel to obtain a delicious juice
• Clean the grater with a sponge under running water
