Preparing citrus zest

Wash and dry the citrus fruit before starting. Slide it gently over the grater while avoiding the white pith under the peel, then rotate the fruit gradually. Zest can flavor cake batter, creams, sauces, vinaigrettes, or beverages.

Remove the colored layer of the peel with a light motion.

Savory and sweet uses

• Citrus: lemon, orange, or lime zest for pastries, sauces, and drinks.
• Parmesan: a finishing touch for pasta, risottos, salads, and gratins.
• Ginger: for infusions and recipes depending on the desired texture.
• Chocolate: for desserts, mousses, crepes, and ice cream sundaes.
• Garlic and spices: when the ingredient is suitable for the grating surface.

The zester works well for both savory and sweet preparations.

Usage and safety tips

1. Wash and dry the ingredient to be grated thoroughly.
2. Hold the handle firmly and work over a stable container.
3. Slide the ingredient with light, steady pressure.
4. Rotate the citrus fruit gradually to avoid the white pith.
5. Slow down when the piece becomes small and keep your fingers away from the grater.

Adapt the pressure to the ingredient being processed.

Cleaning and storage

Remove residue after each use, then clean the surface with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse the zester and dry it completely before storing. Check the manual or packaging before putting it in the dishwasher. Store it in a drawer or utensil jar to protect the grater.

Clean and dry the zester before storing it.

The CuisinerTelUnChef tip: add zest at the end of the preparation to preserve its fresh fragrance.
