How To Zest Citrus (4 Ways)

[@lindachancellor7538]

Great tips. I did not know you can freeze lemons. Very good to know. Thanks.

[@njoy320]

Thank you for doing this video. So helpful.

[@Huasteco09]

Great tips! And you also have a very pleasant voice.

[@domchappell2001]

Cheers mate, would never have thought to use a potato peeler!

[@magdalene74]

You missed the best zester, a microplane. Its a woodworking tool used to smooth wood and has very very fine holes in it and takes just the barest layer of zest off the lemon, avoiding the pith altogether. Another thing i have always thought would be excellent is (now dont laugh or cringe just yet) a brand new pedi egg! AND it catches the zest too :) lol.

[@lynnjepson8218]

Actually, that thing he called a zester looks like my microplaner, so I'm not sure what you are talking about? And yes, LOL...that pedi egg, which I have btw, looks like it would work! My hubby cringes when I use mine on my heels, LOL....

[@summerreed3688]

Love this! But I'd love that mini zester he used in the beginning! That would be a dream to use. Thanks for showing us how!

[@cleopuptra]

Thanks! I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time this year and my green bean dish calls for lemon zest.

@1:18: “It’s not the sharpest tool in the drawer...” Haha! My ex-husband has something in common with a “zester”! 🤪🤣 How nice! 😉 Thank you for a fantastic zesting demo video! It’s greatly appreciated! 😊👍🏻

[@AlE-yq2vu]

Maggie G. Haha He did marry you. Just saying

[@Miss_Maggie]

Al E 😳 Alright, YOU!! I’ll give you that one! I can appreciate your cheekiness, lol 🤣👏🏻👏🏻 However.... in the back of my mind, I’m thinking: ‘Don’t tell me I’m gonna have to roll up my sleeves & go to war with someone in the comments section of a Lemon Zesting video!!!’ 😂😂😂 Although... 🤔... I have to say... stranger things have happened, I suppose! 😉

[@AlE-yq2vu]

It’s all in fun Maggie ☺️

[@Miss_Maggie]

Al E Haha You just never know for sure these days... 😉 🍋 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯🍋

[@kvakma]

@@Miss_Maggie -- you got this…..👍🤣😂…..😉

[@itsjustrenee1320]

I bought the little one and lost it between check out and home. I don't have a zester, needed an alternative. Making italian ice. Thank you.

[@wpowell9080]

Well Done.

[@Rthomassc]

I have not done any cooking but you pretty much have me inspired to go rattle some pots and pans. It is almost to the place that I am the head cook these days. Sorry to say.

[@gregyohngy]

I use a box grater. It is easy and I just get the yellow peel.

[@jenniferroberts5441]

I have a question about my microplaner (sp?) I don't use it very often, and when I need to it's so frustrating because when I zest anything majority of the zest gets caught inside the small holes and I have to smack it very hard on my cutting board to get it out, and it's zests the citrus so small that it is like powder almost and is hard to capture to get the amount. When I zest a whole lemon, I'm lucky to get a full teaspoon! Am I doing something wrong you think, or would freezing the lemon for instance ahead of time improve the quality of the zest? Thank you

[@patzenor742]

+Jennifer Roberts I just learned that you can dry (dehydrate) the peel and then grind the dried peel with coffee grinder or food processor. This of course would require you to do this before you need it. I plan to dehydrate a lot of peels and grind them and then store in jar

[@brightview8180]

this was a life saver!!

[@roguerunner7553]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@bethchanelle]

Watched this because I don’t have a cheese grater just moved in :) thx

[@gmasyd]

thank you for all the info, much appreciated

[@xbeanx3000]

Thank you, that's clear and easy to understand.

[@PetitChoux]

Thanks! Very informative. I'm on my way to use this technique to bake some madeleines for the Christmas holiday. (:

[@mohdazlankorimohdbosthomi6837]

can you make a video about knife skill and type of citrus please......:)

[@mattkodner]

Your house must be beautiful. Would it be possible to have a walking tour of your humble abode?

[@sadisticjupiter1127]

Can you Pleaseeee make a video on kitchen tools like the best affordable knives and such ... I don't know how to cook and wanna try your recipies but don't have the tools .. thanks so much :)

[@Mary777]

I was wondering if critus zest could be frozen for furture use or not.

[@k-leb4671]

I always get so frustrated zesting a lime. Maybe my micro-grater is too blunt, but I take forever to do it and my fingers keep slipping off the lime. I grated my thumb something bad one time. And I find myself leaving large spots unzested all the time, so I have to go back over again. I keep at it though because I don't wanna waste that useful zest.

[@xbeanx3000]

I have a question. When you cut up the skin and include the white bits with it, say for including in jam, does it loose the name of being 'zest' and is called something else? Would it be called just skin fragments and not zest?

[@maryemclea6436]

thanks

ZESTY!!!

[@TooZesty]

yes

[@Steve-Owens]

You are so lucky to get those Meyer Lemons again YPG. I have a bit of a lemon fetish myself. Lemon has such great flavor. I was envious last year when you got these lemons, lucky you :) PS commenting from my new channel now ;) Steve

[@centralscrutinizer66]

I've personally had two meals ruined by over zesting. The usable portion is barely the surface on a regular lemon. Below that is the bitterest tongue-stragling matter to found in the kitchen. Leave it to pros.

[@pavelshlykov6868]

I guess that's the way to escape the trench!

[@Alex-my3no]

xD i thought i was the only one from BSJ's playlist

[@taraskobets1595]

I used WooPep diet website handbooks for that.

[@kiks4757]

My bloody grater isn’t working and I can’t go outside to buy another seen it’s Christmas Eve! I’m in shit as everyone expects a cake from me :/

[@Roberto72566]

Never mind I just saw the spelling Meyer.

[@Roberto72566]

when you say Meijer lemons, is that what you mean? 'Meijer"? v.s. Walmart?

[@admiralgeneral9793]

'Meyer' lemons

[@MichaelGuy]

is that a wig?

[@rdidri]

I thought it was called "pith."

[@F4T4LFUS1ON]

I think that's the skin on the inside, like on oranges when there's that why skin stuff on the orange segments

[@sinjinvanqu33f42]

the cringe

[@cupberry5364]

CupcakeQueens at least the video is helpful
