Questions and Answers
Q: What's the difference between this and a fine grater?
A: The zester is long and narrow, so it runs easily around a lemon and grates straight over a bowl or plate. A wide fine grater is quicker for large amounts of hard cheese.
Q: How do I zest without the bitter pith?
A: Use light strokes and turn the fruit as soon as the colour has gone from each patch. The sharp teeth take off only the zest, so there's no need to press.
