They make it really easy to strip an orange, lemon or lime of its zest and only its zest, no pith (the fruit is left with a skin of the same colour as before, but paler and not shiny). I'm completely sold on the product and am now looking to avoid discarding any citrus skin without first stripping off the zest. Besides the traditional uses in cakes and puddings, I am trying it in other foods. The big successes so far are cocoa (cacao actually - strong, sweetened with honey, made with water, not milk, and a teaspoon of vanilla essence) and home-made tomato soup (the zest of one large orange divided between two bowls of soup). Tomato soup served this way is so good it ought to be listed as a 'legal high'.I have also tried the grater with chocolate. The result is very finely grated chocolate - but the task is nevertheless quicker and easier than with conventional graters. A little of the grated chocolate goes a long way, with the open surfaces optimised to give maximum smell and taste from minimum chocolate - a benefit on the calorie front even when cost is not an issue.Nutmeg and stem ginger are yet to come, but it won't be long. Then there will be horseradish.... I'm having so much fun with this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spring into Zesting Bliss with Microplane Zester Grater! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 January 2024* Title: Spring into Zesting Bliss with Microplane Zester Grater!Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Review:Spring has never been more delightful with the Microplane Zester Grater in Spring Flower design!
