How do you get citrus zest?

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: Maybe I’m the only cook who doesn’t know the answer to this question, but I doubt it. I hope you will depart from your usual very helpful hints to give me some much-needed information. Recipes frequently list citrus zest, usually lemon or orange. I feel sure that there is some kind of special tool for obtaining this ingredient. A normal grater does not work well at all. Where would one go, and what exactly would one ask for? -- Jimmie S., Garland, Tex.

Jimmie, you are lucky, because there is a tool that is available to zest citrus fruits called a zester/peeler. You should be able to find one at any store where kitchen utensils are found. You also can find them online by simply typing in “zester” in the search box. Good luck. -- Heloise
