This is EXACTLY what I needed. I've been lost for a while looking for answers about Lemon Zest. Now I'm making Italian Lemon Ricotta Cake!

[@evolvingtable]

Yay!! So happy this helped you out. And yum! That cake sounds ah-maaaazing!

[@MsBianca78]

Recipe?

[@uppanadam74]

Didn't even think of the cheesegrater!! I'm about to harvest my first lot of lemons ever!! And was dreading standing at the kitchen cupboard for long hours peeling the zest off from the lemons!! My back is not up to that anymore!! So the cheesegrater will make it quick and easy!! Cheers!!

This is a simple video but you don't know how many people you've helped. I came to watch this after being pissed for 48 hours on travelling to 12 different stores and Ice Cream Parlors and NOBOBY having Mother Effing LEMON ICE CREAM!!! I got pissed last night and just made my mother freaking on then I thought after it was absolutely delicious why not add a little texture so I thought about Lemon Zest. People MAKE YOUR OWN LEMON ICE CREAM & NEVER GET ALL THE ADDITIVES AGAIN. Vanilla Ice Cream, Almond or Milk of your choice, and 3 Squeezed Lemons per Pint. OH MY G O O D N E Z Z !!!!!! You'll never worry about searching for it again. Subscribed & Thumbs Up to support you for making this video. Thanks.

[@halfpintrr]

This sounds delicious! I have an ice cream maker, so I’ll make some.

[@orgoniteyahgoniteaustralia6888]

Amazing how much useful stuff I've been throwing away without realizing the value of it. Thanks for the vid, I'll be keeping the zest as a vitamin supplement.

[@evolvingtable]

What a great idea!! And you're very welcome :)

[@lindachancellor7538]

Great tips. Especially being able to freeze the zest. I know the piff is bitter but it is also healthy. Thanks.

[@denisecurtis8749]

3 June 23 - I'm three years late-- but very thankful for this information! Didn't own a microplane-- so I tried the box grater method-- but the zest just got stuck in the holes😂 Never thought about my trusty vegetable peeler and paring knife combo🙄 Or even just the paring knife and cutting the strips up🤣 However, after watching your cute video-- I'm better informed and a happier camper, now that I have these ingenious ways to zest! Lookout 🍋 lemons, limes and 🍊 oranges!😄 BTW MacGyver was my favorite show to watch!😀

Damn girl just get into the methods already. Skip to 2:58 for find out what you came for.

A little. Patience and kindness please-- we rush through life enough! I liked the intro!

[@JeffO-]

Hold microplane over the fruit in dominant hand with the forefinger on the metal part of the zester. Hold the fruit under it in your other hand. This way you can: 1. see what you're zesting instead of constantly turning it over 2. not be in danger of your fingers slippingg off the fruit and cutting your fingers 3. look like you went to culinary school with a good instructor.

[@StevieB1603]

Do you wash lemons before grating and if yes, with what …to get the pesticides and wax off? Or do you strictly use organic lemons? Thanks!

[@melinaspath5482]

There's no reason for the levitating lemon, but I watched 8 minutes of this video because of it.

[@pir8x]

I was all like, "Oh, good, zesting a lemon is 'quick & easy'!" ...then she uses magic to pluck a floating lemon from the air. Me: "Crap. Advanced wizardry is required."

omg it’s totally not real, it’s all a lie i promise

[@kvakma]

🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣……👍

[@Depechez]

with cutting it it looks like you still got a lot of white with it...I prefer the zesteur/citrus zester...using a grater is just too much work and too dangerous for my fingers. A tip to get it off the grater though: use a silicon baking brush to wipe it off. I have found a new love which is a food dehydrator...now I use the zesteur, chop it up and dry them to keep 'm longer

[@prnfl]

useful info

[@little.pixiedoll]

[@caityoncam]

that lemon was just in frozen in the air lol

[@AlienVale]

the power of simple editing

[@stevena.2306]

Microplane or citrus zester, please. High risk or cutting your with a knife and actually more likely to cut your with a vegetable peeler (like I did). I have good OXO peeler but vegetable peelers and not made to cut through thick lemon skin. Zest with caution.

[@denisecurtis8749]

Point well taken friend! (No pun intended)! Because I actually cut my finger on my high grade, chef quality vegetable peeler!😑 The blades are very sharp!😲

[@mist4926]

I'm using a fine greater but zest doesn't come off greater

[@melinaspath5482]

use a pastry brush to collect zest works a treat

[@kellegeez]

Use the side with the very small holes for zesting. The grater side won't really give you much zest.

[@JarateMaster]

used this to get the nuka cola recipie from the fallout cookbook

[@Farmarlow]

I still can not zest a lemon. I have microplanes, zesters etc. but all I succeed in doing is getting the zest stuck in the grate holes. Then trying to get it out with toothpicks, needles, pounding. 4 lemons and I have less than an 8th of a teaspoon. I have watched dozens of videos. "It's so easy" uhg

[@mist4926]

Noticed you didn't show the zest coming off greater

[@kellegeez]

Because that's the wrong side to use for zesting. You'll barely get any zest. The zester side on a box grater is the side with the small holes.

[@denisecurtis8749]

I noticed and was a little disappointed-- as mine got stuck in those little holes and never came out🤣😂🤣! I had to bang it on the counter🤣😂🤣
