Amazon.com Review
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. The large, comfortable handle is brushed stainless steel with rubber fins for comfort. It's also nonslip under wet or dry conditions. The large hanging hole in the handle makes storage easy. Like all Oxo products, this tool is dishwasher-safe. --Laurie Notaro

Customer Reviews

A nice tool to have
This zester creates strips of zest that are perfect for the decorative flourish on salads, fruits, desserts, pastas, etc. I also like the thick zest created by this zester in my pasta. The other reviewer is right though that if you needed finely grated zest this isn't the right tool. The microplane grater is perfect for very fine zest such as what you would need in key lime pie.

it zests...
Got it cause the wife said she wants one. Never seen her use it though. But it looks nice.

$8 for recipes that require curled zest not grated zest
Different shapes do taste differently..
