OXO Good Grips Citrus Zester

While designed primarily for citrus, the sharp stainless steel holes work well for grating hard cheeses like Parmesan or ginger root. However, it is not intended for soft cheeses or vegetables that require a wider grating surface.

Yes, the handle features the signature OXO Good Grips design, which is soft and ergonomically shaped to reduce hand fatigue. The non-slip material provides a secure hold even if your hands are slightly damp.

The channel knife is the small, V-shaped blade on the side of the head. Simply press it firmly into the peel and pull it along the fruit to create long, elegant strips or twists for garnishing drinks and desserts.

The head is constructed from high-quality, rust-resistant stainless steel. To ensure it stays in top condition, we recommend washing it by hand and drying it thoroughly after each use.

While the stainless steel is durable, hand washing is recommended to keep the zesting holes sharp and the handle material in the best possible condition over the long term.
