| But once you've used a zester, you'll never go back to the grater. |
| Use a zester to pull long, thin strands of lemon rind from a lemon or two and put them in a quart of water and refrigerate. |
| To remove the zest, use a sharp paring knife, a vegetable peeler, or a special tool called a zester. |
| Using the lemon zester again, zest the rind of a lemon to produce one teaspoon of zest. |
| Take your Good Grips zester, and using the notch on the side, make a twist from the lemon rind. |
| It takes approximately six years to get enough zest for hot cross buns and a lemon tart without your Microplane zester. |
