The Secret Behind the Magic

The engineers at Smith's Consumer Products, Inc. spent years developing the unique V-shaped teeth that offer shear action similar to what you may have seen before on a v blade mandoline. These V-shaped teeth and the innovate non-stick coating allow this zester to grate unlike any other zester. The teeth are formed by a unique process called etching. Smith's perfected this process and the KitchenIQ Better Zester’s very fine teeth will not grab or tear at the citrus rind but instead skim over the outer layer producing flavor filled fine zest. Zesting with this item is as smooth a silk.

No More Zesty Fingers or Wondering How Much Zest You have Grated

For too long cooks have had to remove the zest from graters by running their finger across the back of the blade, who wants a citrus covered finger? The Better Zester is designed to eliminate this problem. Zest without the mess.

How much zest do you need? It’s all in the container. If the recipe calls for a tsp. of lime zest, or ½ teaspoon of lemon zest. Don’t bother using a measuring spoon. The KitchenIQ Better Zester container is marked with measurements in teaspoon and milliliter. Just what the baker asked for.

Benefits of the Better Zester

V-etched Zester Blade for Zesting all types of citrus - Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit etc. Over 300 V-etched teeth use the shear action of their patent pending V- shapes to produce even, uniform cuts while using minimal force. The Non- stick coating allows foods to glide across the blade smoothly and makes clean up fast and easy. The Fresh Zest container holds the freshly grated zest and allows cooks to place the zest easily into their dishes,. The squeegee slides across the back of the blade removing the flavor rich moist zest from the back side of the blade. The frame of this unique Zester is formed with a slight curve allowing a smoother, more steady stoke when zesting. (Or what some call violining! Now just call it better zesting).
