Messermeister Pro-Touch Combination Zester Stainless Steel Kitchen Tool, Black

After purchasing a very inexpensive version of something similar (a different brand) and becoming frustrated almost immediately, I purchased this brand. It has worked consistently from the first time I used it. It makes zesting a lemon for lemonade relatively easy. This may be a bit more expensive, but in this case, you really do pay for what you get.

I’m not able to use a microplane zester because of arthritis in my hands. This zester is easy for me to use.

Great Product

This is how zesters are SUPPOSED to work! I have rheumatoid arthritis, so most kitchen gadgets are hard on me. This thing makes beautiful strips of citrus or fine tiny shavings with no effort. It's amazing. I've had lots of zesters and graters, but never one that worked like this. Highly recommend

This item worked perfectly. If you gave it a negative review, you simply don't know how to hold a tool steady and use it properly.

Takes a little practice to learn to use but a great little tool! Makes beautiful strips!

This is great and doesn't take up a lot of room.

Dull-Dull-Dull!!!! I bought this after reading a top cooking magazine's review of similar channel zesters. They said this one was by far the best. BS! OK, it has a nice handle and is comfortable, but it is dull because it is just a cheap stamped item, just like everything else that has a business end that looks just like it. Because it is dull, it takes more effort to cut with it. This force distorts the skin of the lemon or orange or whatever citrus you might have, and the resulting strip is pulled thinner and most of the luscious citrus oil is squeezed out of it. I don't cut strips just to look good, they have to be able to exude citrus oil for scent and flavor in the cocktails I mix. I'll probably try to sharpen this thing with a file and a stone -- no one should have to do that. If you want one of these things to fiddle with, buy the cheapest one -- not this one -- they are all made the same. If you want something sharp, get a Wusthof or a "Triangle" brand from Germany. I bought the Triangle brand U-groove one in the same order as this one. It is almost razor sharp, and does a much better job. It is an "in-line" cutter though (ambidextrous, too.) I'll probably buy the V-groove Triangle one, too, as I don't seem to be able to get the Wusthof (expensive, but worth it) from a US Amazon supplier. See my review of the Triangle U-groove cutter. Cheers! Tony

Tried a couple products, but this one worked very well.

if you have a zester, you will not get the bitter white pith of the orange. Worth it. Small enough not to be annoying in the utensil drawer. A specialized tool that you will find uses for. Orange-scented cream with which to make creme brûlée anyone?

Excellent quality and very sturdy.Quick delivery.

Works great for peeling off a lemon twist for drinks. Easy to use, good results.

We wanted this for making Lemoncello. The peels are just to small for this. Not a fault of the peeler. This will suite making decorations for drinks.
