OXO Good Grips Citrus Zester With Channel Knife

I juice a lot of lemons in a year, around 20 to 30 for just my personal household use, not professionally or anything. But I've not got the knife skills necessary to be able to cut off the zest reliably without bringing the white pith with it. This thing is PERFECT - short fat grip, real sharp lil holes on the business end - I took a lil chunk out of a knuckle first time I used it! Put aside one lemon or lime to practice on - there's a sweet spot angle and amount of pressure that you'll have to figure out for yourself. A LOT of pressure, I can attest - act like you're mad at it, that'll get ya most of the way there! They say it's dishwasher safe, which is always good to hear. The oils that'll accumulate will definitely need some soap to cut them down, and you might end up with some pith around the channel-knife section, so you might need to poke at that with one of those small pipe-cleaner type things before dishwashing it. Certainly no functional limit to the number of citrus fruits that could be zested with this! But do keep some wits about you - I doubt you'll have a good time with grapefruit zest, but hey, I don't tell you how to live your life! LOL

Great zester, much easier than other ways I've tried to zest with.

Good overall citrus zester that has decent speed, quality, blade size and solid safety design. The peeler works really well.

Why do we wait on getting things that make our lives so much easier? I would always use a cheese grater and would get the pith as well but with this little tool those days are over. I had my husband buy oranges just so I could play with this. It does a good job and I only wish I would have got one sooner.

This thing sure makes my blueberry muffins a lot easier to make since it requires lemon zest. No more messy and frustrating attempts to zest with a knife. This made quick work and is easy to use. Sharp with a comfortable handle. Would purchase again!

I like to prepare martinis with a twist of lemon but found it difficult to do with a knife. Even though I have arthritic hands, it is very easy and comfortable to use. All Oxo products I have are comfortable and have very high quality.

Zesting citrus rinds for recipes is a good idea, but I love this one that makes ribbons. It adds a bit of elegance and interest that people notice. Plus, I love gadgets!

A sturdy zester is a must. This one is the best one I’ve ever had, and the bonus features are amazing.

met requirement

Recently bought this so that we can get zest or peel from citrus fruits for use in cooking. It’s simple but it works well.

Excelente marca, el mejor de varios zesters que he comprado. calidad de materiales y ergonómico, queda perfecto para usarlo en la barra 👍🏻
