zesters
Rind removal tools
Zesters are kitchen tools designed to remove thin strips of citrus peel, capturing the flavorful outer layer while leaving the bitter white pith behind.
The term also refers to people who zest—either literally in cooking, or figuratively as those who add enthusiasm or flavor to situations: The zesters in our group always find ways to make meetings more interesting.
