Product Description
Using the KitchenIQ Better zester is just fun! Never before has zesting been so effortless. The combination of the V-etched teeth and non stick coating allow the zester to skim smoothly across the surface of rough citrus while producing thin wisps of flavorful zest without grating into the bitter pith. The fram of this unique zester is formed with a slight curve allowing a smoother, more steady stroke when zesting. KitchenIQ has added additional features like the fresh zest storage container with its squeegee for easy zest removal from the blade. The KitchenIQ Zester is simply a better eay to zest!

This thing has actually changed my zesting experience completely. It’s non-stick surface makes it so I don’t have to scrape extras off the front. The zest catcher is the best invention ever. Like, I’d possibly forego toilet paper if I had the choice (of course, with a bidet). I tap it down pretty hard and have had no problem fitting the zest of two giant lemons with room to spare. I’ve yet to crack the thing and I’m pretty rough with it. This is absolutely worth every penny if you zest often.
Update: I have had this zester for a few years now and still love it. I always grate nutmeg near the base of the zester and it is starting to get a little dull, but the area that I use to zest citrus is as sharp as ever. Still very pleased with this product.
Things I love:
- The size is great for a small task or larger one
- Very comfortable handle
- The marking for measurements are accurate (I checked in a regular measuring spoon)
- Very easy to clean
- The scraper gets nearly every bit out of what you're zesting
- Protective cover will prevent injuries (like if a child grabs it), though even when running hands across the top, they don't get any cuts
Things I don't like:
- Could be a little wider for more surface area when zesting a lot at a time
I highly recommend this zester....it'll make your life easier and cooking faster.
1) It has a plastic cover which slides on in a safe way to protect the zesting blades
2) It has a plastic base which seals the underside of the zester so that the zest is stored inside the base until you're ready for it
3) It has a rubber "spatula" on the plastic base which scrapes the zest off the blades and into the base when you remove it.
These three features are really great for nuisance free zesting. Since I use this device regularly, these features are pretty great.
I should also say the zester itself is quite effective, with sharp blades producing a fine zest.

It is just great though, I hate grating zest as it ends up everywhere else but where I want it and this avoids all that mess. Plus you don't have to hold it over the item you are grating into because it is all captured within the grater and you can even leave it in there till you want it.
I thoroughly recommend it though have to say Lakeland stopped stocking it and I can only assume it is because people had the same problem as me. I still had mine for at least a couple of years so that suits me, it's worth it for such efficient use.
