like the snap blade feature and catcher. You get every bit you've grated and the blade is nearly clean. Just needs a quick rinse

OK, this is a ridiculous price to pay for a one-function-only kitchen product.Or is it? I started out as someone whose first cookery book was 'Cooking in a Bedsitter' by Katherine Whitehorn (brilliant book, still got it, still using recipes from it although they're now rather 'enhanced') and who embraced Whitehorn's philosophy of using as few utensils as possible to do as many things as possible. (And that's not only in the kitchen - do you know how many uses there are for a nail file?...). However I had an epiphany many years ago when faced with the opportunity of buying a 'professional' frying pan and being appalled at the price and a friend saying: "It'll be worth it in the end because it'll last forever" - and realising that I was shopping for a frying pan because all my previous ones had given up the ghost after just a few years. (P.S. Yes, I still have that pan...)So I now have a lot of expensive items in my kitchen (do you know anyone else who's paid nearly £200 for a pepper grinder?...) but, but, but - they will genuinely last forever - or at least for the rest of my lifetime - and many/most of them can be used when SHTF and we're all left without electricity.My main criteria now for whether or not I buy a kitchen item is:- Does it do a brilliant job for what it was designed?- Can I use it without electricity?- Will it outlast me?I've got many friends with cupboards full of useless kitchen equipment (and fad items...) and who've kept the local car boot/jumble sales happily supplied over the years. That's a lot of money (and time) effectively wasted. When I was literally living in bedsitters then 'Cooking in a Bedsitter' was definitely 'the tool for the job' - but if you can afford the best tool for the job then it's worth the money. The time and food you save, alone, makes it worthwhile.This lemon zester is absolutely brilliant. I had to buy a new zester because the one I've had for decades (quite literally) had become blunt. This wonderful zester, made of wood and steel, was bought for some insignificant amount in a cheapo cookshop which has probably long ago become something else; this was not a specialist piece of kit. Once it started failing, I started looking around for - and buying - replacements. What a waste of time and energy - and proof that you don't get what you pay for because I've tried some 'good brand name' zesters and they've proved to be very, very poor. So that's what persuaded me to try this zester, despite the price.Wow. With this tool you just have to 'stroke' the lemon/lime/whatever against the grating blade and the result is fine shreds of zest - no pith at all. Not sure about the capture/measure cover because I don't bother with it (although I'm sure it works if that's what you need), but there is no 'spray' as you zest. The immediate aroma from the zest tells you all you need to know: this thing works.As the pith isn't touched, the lemon/lime or whatever lasts longer even though its outer protection has been removed - and that in itself is a saving because obviously there are often times when the juice from zested citrus fruits isn't used until some days later.The button-eject thing is weird but also brilliant - saves having to bash the zester against whatever to shake zest loose.Someone's really thought about this: what is needed of a zester and how it can be achieved etc., and what else is this but applied human intelligence? That sort of research and development is worth paying for, isn't it?And so I did.If you want the best zest, maybe you should too? Go on, you know you want to...

This Shreds as promised. I also love the catcher that also serves as a cover.

I love this zester. It’s well made and the pop-up function is great! It really makes using it a joy. The zest pops right out of the grates. And it cleans up so easily.

It’s a very well designed grater and the “pop” is nice for stickier things like ginger. Although honestly tapping works just fine too.

Well constructed. Takes just the skin off lemons and limes and none of the white pith. The pop action means you get it all and very little sticks to the grater. Highly recommend.

Cause I did, no matter which one I tried, until this one! I would not even bother withparmesan on my pasta sometimes even though I love it so, cause I didn't feel like bloody knuckles. The concave design of this one is pretty brilliant, it's hard to slip, and you get a whole bunch of grated anything in no time with very little pressure. The included cover that slides on one side to store and on the other to measure and hold the gratings is really smart. Well thought out device, go for it!
