- Comfortable, nonslip handle absorbs pressure from hands
- Sharp holes in the head make zesting rinds easy
- Built-in channel knife for garnishing
- Stainless-steel head is solid and durable
- Safe to use in dishwasher
Specially designed to get the tasty zest while leaving the bitter rind behind. The notch tool works to get spirals of peel and the soft, oversized handle works to take pressure off your hand.
With two uses in one utensil, this tool is the ultimate for working with citrus. The head features several sharp holes for zesting lemons, oranges and more, while the channel knife lets you create elegant garnishes and decorations with little effort. And when you're through, its large, oversize handle opening makes hanging easy. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award.

| This is the best and sharpest zester ever!! LOVE IT!! So easy to use too!! |

| It takes some getting used to the technique needed to get a good quality strip of rind off a lemon or lime, but once you have it down it's a snap. The handle is great and feels good in your hand. The zester at the end isn't that useful, I mainly use the big part for pulling off rind for martinis and lemon drops. |

| I haven't found an OXO kitchen tool that I have yet to like or think is better than any other brand I've used. I give this 5 stars for a reason. |

I got an Oxo zester because I love most of the other Oxo products I've tried. Like those, this is comfortable in the hand and to use, and I was pleased. It's good for garnish and easy to control, and is the best I've used of its style.
Then I saw a photo in a food blog (in Pioneer Woman's "Orange Mini-Muffins with Brown Sugar Glaze" post) of an orange with a clean, THOROUGHLY zested stripe across it from a Microplane zester, seemingly from a single swipe. I went out and got a Microplane (this one, because it doesn't have cutting edges on the sides and I'm a klutz: Microplane Fine Grater) and was an instant convert. Yes, the photo was very probably a single-swipe one. With the Microplane, it's really easy to get every last shred of zest from an orange -- without a single iota of pith! -- in about the same amount of time it takes to simply peel an orange. Wow.
If garnish is your goal, plus an occasional bit of zest for cooking, the Oxo's really pretty good. If you want to get lots of pith-free zest as quickly and easily as possible, I recommend a Microplane.
I'm not much for garnish (a knife will do what little I need), so I gave my Oxo away.

| This is a pretty good zester. It has a very comfortable grip and it's easy to clean. It was perfect for my needs, but if you want a very fine zest this is not the product for you. It's really only practical if you don't mind a little bit thicker zest. |
