Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Lemon Zester
Customer Review: I hate to endorse yet another gadget, but. . .
Summary: 5 Stars
this little tool enables you to add another, fresh dimension to your
cooking. The bright, sharp tang of citrus peel is a wonder in dozens
of dishes. pancake batter? sure. a reduction sauce? of course.
In fact, any time you have meaty, salty or hot flavors in a combination
that seems to lack something or other, a bit of citrus zest is a good fallback
option. If you're really scrupulous, it pays to get organically grown fruit
because of chemical residues and paraffin preservatives on the skins of
conventionally-grown fruit.
A zester can also be used to raise butter curls or to scrape a carrot into
shreds as a last minute addition to a sauce, or to shred some parsnip into
hot soup.
It's unlikely that you will ever wear out the sharp edges on a zester, but
they are remarkably cheap and if you amortize the cost over-let's say-
a hundred recipes, this is a downright cheap addition to your batterie.
By the way, the little notch that you see in the side is a cannelling or caning blade. It's for cutting long thin strips. Those striped cukes that you see on salad trays are done this way. You can also use the strips themselves as decorative additions to stir-fries, pasta dishes and soups.
OXO is well known for their ergonomic grips. This one looks most unlikely
but actually proves to be very handy (so to speak).

Description of Oxo Good Grips Lemon Zester
The Good Grips Lemon Zester is two tools in one. The sharp holes in its stainless steel head remove the zest from the pith of lemons and other citrus fruits easily, and a channel knife feature makes it easy to decorate for garnish. Its soft handle nestles comfortably in your palm and is designed to prevent it from spinning in your hand.With two uses in one utensil, this tool is the ultimate for working with citrus. The head features several sharp holes for zesting lemons, oranges and more, while the channel knife lets you create elegant garnishes and decorations with little effort. And when you're through, its large, oversize handle opening makes hanging easy. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro
