What's a "lemon zester"? I'm guessing it's something that shaves off the rind... |

Watch out Ron Popeil - there's a new kid in town. |

A zester does indeed shave of the rind. If you've got a cheese grater (the 'box' kind), chances are that there will also be a place for you to grate rind too. However, you will soon discover that most of the rind sticks to the grater, and it is a pain to wash up (muderous to sponges and dish cloths - must use a scrubber). |

I have a favourite salad dressing which requires both juice and zest, so this gadget would be most helpful....you'd still have to wash the darn thing up though. |

The only problem I see is that different lemons, citrus in general, have different depths of zest, and it would be difficult for a one-squeeze device to neither waste zest nor give you some of the dreaded bitter pith. |

But when a brilliant engineer invents one, I want it. |

Maybe the juice could wash the zest off into the mixing-bowl, reducing both waste and cleanup effort. |
