Know before you buy
No, the ultra-sharp stainless steel blade is designed to remove only the flavorful outer zest while leaving the bitter white pith behind.
The zester features a removable silicone top. Simply pull it off to easily access and empty the collected zest.
While optimized for citrus, the sharp blade can also be used for grating hard cheeses, ginger, or garlic, though the collection chamber is specifically sized for citrus zest.
The zester is dishwasher-safe, but if you prefer hand washing, the simple construction allows you to easily rinse the blade and the silicone chamber under running water.
The flexible body allows the tool to conform to the curvature of different citrus fruits, ensuring consistent contact with the skin for a more efficient and uniform zest.
