Why did I wait so long to buy this!?!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

I’m nearly 40 and I finally own something that can ZEST! Why did I wait this long? It’s changed my “ginger” game (Moscow Mules anyone!?!). Works great on lemon zest as well. That’s about all I’ve used it for so far, but I imagine I’ll find other uses.

It’s durable (Oxo really never seems to miss the mark here) and nice to hold. It’s easy to clean and fits in my dishwasher. Doesn’t take up a lot of space.

Great little kitchen tool.

BEST Zester/Grater EVER!

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

OK, this is hands down the VERY BEST ZESTER/GRATER I have ever owned. This is replacing a microplane zester that finally bit the dust. This thing is incredibly sharp and grates parmesan cheese or zests citrus fruits with complete ease. I own several other OXO Good Grips products that are also of very high quality, so it was not surprising that this product was so great. Love the non-slip handle and it easily stands up while you are zesting and grating and doesn't slip or move around. I'm very picky about my kitchen tools and gadgets and am very happy with this one. If you're looking for a new zester/grater, you won't be disappointed.

Large grating surface and comfortable grip...Like with most OXO products, you will not regret the purchase

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

If you make a lot of recipes that call for large quantities (even just a tablespoon or more) than this really is the Zester for you. The handle is incredibly comfortable and with the large grating surface it makes quick work of zesting any and all citrus' . I am so glad I picked this one up as lately I have been making a lot or recipes that do call for lots of orange and lemon zest and this really does make the job of getting fresh citrus zest nice and easy. While I am not surprised though since OXO products from cookware to storage never seem to disappoint and while often on the pricier end, they are worth the money since they almost often last longer than similar products made by other companies.

No more box grater for me!

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

I've always used a box grater for all me zesting/shredding needs, but the last time I zested a lemon I got nothing except a clogged zester.
I bit the bullet and did some research on zesters and I am every so happy with the one I bought.
This oxo zester is wonderful! I used it last night to shred some cheese and it came out perfect and so easy. Clean up was a breeze as well.
Thanks for a great product and I hope to use it for a long time to come.

Am very happy with this product

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

Am very happy with this product. It lives up to my expectation of OXO products which I usually buy. It is made of high quality material which is sturdy. Love the way it is curved for easy grip or to rest on a container when using. There is no crevices to harbor debris. Gave it 4 stars only because part of it is white material which immediately gets discolored with orange or citrus zest. However no regrets about the purchase. I have looked at many and bought others. Would buy it again, because it's the best one I have seen so far.

The best zester!

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

This thing is amazing, enough said. It zests perfectly. I went from using the smallest holes on a crappy box grater to this, and it was like going from water to wine. I mean, wow. This thing is sharp, and it takes minimal effort to get the zest off of the citrus. Seriously, just put a lemon like an inch away from this thing and the zest will probably fall off (kidding, of course). Well worth the price. It's also very good quality, sturdy, and has a nice, grippy handle. Well done once again, OXO.

Fantastic Tool

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

I was very surprised and pleased at what an excellent job this tool does. I am able to get a far greater amount of zest using it. It is very easy to use and clean up.

I have several OXO items and have found all of them to be the best kitchen tools I have. If a person is considering different brands, based on my experience, I would recommend to always go for the OXO item. I don't think they can be beat. They are really quality products.

I always thought zesting was supposed to be difficult and bought this version purely because I’m trying to have as many of my utensils match the oxo range but it glides through so much better than I thought and literally saves me time on cooking

Great product. I have used this as a zester for citrus and as a grater for both cheese and butter. Works great with butter if you are trying to bake fluffy biscuits or scones and you need to have the butter "chopped finely". I just grate it and throw it in the freezer for 15 mins to really solidify the butter. Works better than chopping it and increases the surface area. I get rave reviews on my scones!

Seconda volta che compro questo prodotto, la prima volta lo avevo preso in negozio pagandolo qualcosina di più e la durata è stata di 2 anni, poi lavandola spesso in lavastoviglie la plastica bianca nella zona del manico si è cristallizata e si è spezzata.
Perchè allora ricomprarla? Perchè odio pulire le grattugie classiche e questa con un colpo di spugna nel lato opposto alle lamelle si pulisce in un attimo, non la laverò più in lavastoviglie vediamo se ne aumento la durata.
P.S. La uso principalmente per grattare il formaggio e non come grattugia per scorza di agrumi.
