Being the Pinterest junkie I am, I am needing more kitchen tools. I recently moved and somehow I'm missing a bunch of kitchen stuff. My Zester being one item. So when I saw this deal I had to have it! My first thoughts after opening it was the quality. It has a nice sturdy feel to it. The handle it attached well. The actual grater part is sturdy and holds up perfectly when grating. I used it tonight to make my lemon orzo pasta dish. Super yum!!! Zesting the lemons was a breeze! Most importantly what makes or breaks my thoughts on any kitchen gizmo is cleanup. It washed up easy breazy. It also comes with a protective shield so it will stay nice and sharp for your next zest, and your fingers won't get Zested when you reach for it. I was given this Zester free for my honest review.
