Pure heaven of weightless zest...how does it do that?

Pure heaven of weightless zest...how does it do that?
Did you say "KETO"? What is this HEAVY stuff mean? So, you're on this new adventure with being fat adapted, which means that instead of your body & brain wanting sugar/carbs that turn into glucose/glycogen...you burn both sugars AND fats. So, how can this help? Well, read on...As YOU can see in the photo...this heavy coconut cream is thick! Much thicker than the Thai coconut used only for soups...yummy there. I just pulled this out of the refrigerator and it is like loose jello before it has fully hardened. You can see the indentation still on the surface from my spoons scoop.And in the photo you see my Saturday morning HEAVEN. There is the metal coffee drip filter which I used with a doubled coffee filter which had been rinsed with ordinary tap water to remove paper flavors...so, you see a 3 day cold brewed French Roast fine grind coffee slider that has NO BITTERNESS & IT IS NATURALLY SWEET TOO. 2 TABLE of Heavy Coconut Cream...and today stronger Vietnamese rather than Madagascar cinnamon sitting right on top of my coffee. Then, my home grown limes which I tested with a MICROPLANE wonder. This zest adds a subtle brightness to my cup of Joe! Peruvian organic cacao sits on the left glass jar...none today. On the right are salt from Maldon in the UK and a Japanese seaweed salt in which each grain seems to be "handmade" from the inland seas...magical.But I digress!The coconut flavor is spectacular!In case you didn't get it, it's simply out of this world!Does it taste like raw coconut? Well, actually it tastes like heavy cow's cream which sat in a mound of fresh coconut pulp overnight. If someone didn't tell you there's no dairy and that there is coconut...YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY MISS IT COMPLETELY. Again, just a slight hint of coconut.As YOU stir it...it gently evenly mixes with my cold coffee.Recall, this keto friendly coffee has NO BITTERNESS because I brewed it without the heat which pulls out the acidic oils that are bitter! So, my coffee is deeeeee icious! Want some? I know you do.The kiss of zested lime sits on the top of my cup as if it was a floral note...like sipping coffee on the front porch of a bungalow on the island of Bora Bora after a gentle rain left birds chirping on the still damp leaves...sipping coffee, watching the sun rise, feet up on a railing...letting the mind wander over the best Heavy Coconut Cream with lime zest, Vietnamese cinnamon and cold-brewed coffee. Heaven! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...the MICROPLANE tester is pure magic. It is sharp...totally sharp. But what is different is that it creates lime zest that IS WEIGHTLESS! NO KIDDING. Try it. Buy it. You need this zester!

The quality is impressive—it’s sharp and high-quality, making zesting a easy. I love that it’s slip-resistant, ensuring I have a solid grip while working, and the design of the grater is great. The surface wraps around a bit, which means there are no dead spots, allowing me to maximize zesting efficiency.
It’s not just for lemons; I’ve used it for garlic and other ingredients, and it performs every time. The slip-resistant knobs on top are a thoughtful touch, letting me rest the zester on the cutting board without any slipping or rotating.

While the zester is amazing overall, I do wish the protective sheath was of a higher quality—it could be sturdier. However, considering the performance and build quality, this zester is definitely worth the extra money compared to others on the market. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe, which is a must for easy cleaning.

If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be to upgrade the protective sheath. Other than that, this lemon zester is a game-changer in my kitchen!

Each time I tried to zest a lemon, I struggled with a box grater and a small zester. Neither one of them were easy to use and getting any zest out of the box grater was a joke.
Today this was delivered and I decided to finish the zesting I attempted when I ordered this. All I can say is WOW! This microplaner is amazing! It made this chore a breeze and I was finished in no time. The grater itself is sharp and very effective. It’s comfortable to hold and I like the feet on the bottom to help it stay steady. It’s lighweight and cleans easily. The plastic cover is perfect for storing in a drawer. Never again will I struggle with useless gadgets, this is perfect. I am very pleased with this microplaner and I highly recommend it. Now to go throw away that useless zester that’s a waste of space and time!

Cooking more meals that call for zesting citrus. Tried a box grater and it just made a mess. This was my first actual zester and I am so glad I bought it. Yes, the cutters are sharp and it "could" cut a knuckle or finger tip, but not if you are paying attention. First use, it took about 30 seconds to zest the entire lime. It was easy and added a LOT of flavor to the dish. It is sharp, solid, does a great job, and cleans easily under running water. I should have ordered one a long time ago.

When your old KitchenAid micro-greater can’t even remove the zest from a lemon without a hassle, it’s time to buy a new one. This was highly rated by Cooks Illustrated/ America’s Test Kitchen so I took a chance. Very pleased with the quality and the ease of use. Comes with its own plastic sleeve for storage to keep from damaging other things in the drawer- or your fingers. It’s very sharp and works brilliantly.

It will grate/zest lemons and oranges for a variety of flavor profiles. The YouTube chefs got me to get this tool. It was worth it. I’m experimenting more with different flavors when I am creating in the kitchen. And the tool works well. Great build quality.

So as the chef says on my favorite chef site - don’t be a ding dong. Use it like a violin. Put the tool on the fruit then tap the zest into your recipe. Chef Jean Pierre.

High quality and zests a lemon or lime in no time. Collects the zest in the back if you hold the citrus and pull the zester over it if you know what i mean instead of passing the citrus over the zester.
