Cuisavour's Deluxe Zester

I just love cooking and seasoning food is what I do best, and having a grater like this is better, not only I can grate some seasoning into the meals I am preparing, but also I love that this greater because it is capable of taking zest from a fruit and I am just happy that someone was able to come up with this Idea of a tool that is great for grating and zesting at the same time.I am just happy with my first amazon purchase.

I had high hopes for this zester based on the reviews but mine does not zest anything. When you run your fingers down it, it is completely flat, no wonder it doesn't zest. I very rarely write reviews, and really hate that I have to write a negative one.I attempted to contact HomeSeries (the seller) twice but have yet to receive a reply. I unfortunately waited too long to try it and was past my 30 day return window for a refund. I contacted customer service and they waived the 30 day return and are letting me return the defective item (though I will have to pay a restocking fee). I guess it's better than nothing.Very disappointed.On a bright note I ended up buying the Kitchen IQ Better Zester and it works like a dream.

It is so narrow and light that it ends up giving me hand abrasions. I think I get better use from wider graters.

I've been looking for a cooking rasp, even checked hardware stores, but really like this one with the cover. It works quite well.

The best praise I can give for this grater and zester is that I have yet to cut myself using it. Well, that and it will grate your Parmesan cheese into a fine powder reminiscent of a line of cocaine on your cutting board. That is pretty awesome: It will dissolve into soups and pasta in a hurry. Or if you're impatient, you can just snort it.Works. Like a boss.

After reading the reviews, I was looking forward to receiving this. The zester I got, the cutters are flat with the body. Like it was punched in a hurry. Therefore it doesn't have ability to cut anything..

I received this zester for free in exchange for an honest review for the product. I was not paid to review this product.At the moment we already do have a zester from oxo. So let's just compare. The one from oxo is a wider zester, the holes are similar in size. I like the grip of the Cuisavour zester better. I think that the fact that it's narrower makes it easier to manage and move around the citrus. The cuisavor came with a protective cover which is great because it can prevent cuts when you're rummaging thru the drawers. I'm not sure if the oxo came with one though.I've tried grating nutmeg on both. the yellow zester performed better. It has sharper edges.I gave it a four star because it's $5 more expensive than other brands. It does out perform the other oxo zester but you can find very similar items for less.It still gets a thumbs up from me for performance and honest advertising.

All I can say is "WOW"....If you want a Zester that works and doesn't take forever to get a few teaspoons of zest, purchase this one. Has rubber feet at the bottom to prevent it from sliding on your counter. Easy to use & built to last. I put it in the dishwasher. I'll never purchase another zester except these microplanes!!
