Abstract
To improve the safety and efficiency of conventional zesters, the present inventor devised, among other things, a child-friendly bidirectional twist-action zester. One exemplary zester includes a housing and at least two grating elements. The housing defines an interior volume configured to receive at least a portion of a whole citrus fruit, and the first and second grating elements are mounted to the housing such that with their grating teeth face the interior and contact the whole citrus fruit, thereby preventing bloody fingers and knuckles during zesting. Moreover, each grating element includes at least some teeth that are opposite to some teeth in the other grating elements, enabling the zester to produce zest with each back and forth movement of the zester relative the fruit. Some other embodiments add a reamer to the housing, enabling the zester to serve as both as zester and a juicer.
