Handi-Zest Zester with Blade Wiper – Joseph Joseph

Overview

Meet Handi-Zest, a compact zester designed to make zesting citrus and light spice grating cleaner and more controllable. The razor sharp etched stainless-steel blade delivers clean strips of zest and delicate shavings, helping you capture essential oils and vivid color from lemons, limes, and oranges. A smart blade wiper sits along the back of the blade, so you can guide the zest along its length and into the end hole for quick removal, reducing waste and mess. When you’re done, the protective sheath keeps the blade safely tucked away, and the unit is dishwasher safe for quick cleaning.
