Will moist orange zest get stuck in the teeth of this zester? my zester has round/star shaped holes that the zest get stuck in!!

I haven't found this to be a problem and I use orange and lemon zest quite a bit. There is some zest in the teeth when I am finished but I use a brush to clean it and it is fine.

I typically use this to grate hard cheeses, but it will definitely zest citrus fruits too. It does not get clogged and it's easy and quick!

I've used this a few dozen times in the last 6 months without any such problem. A gentle tap on the dish clears all zest easily.

Zest doesn`t stuck in the zester. Holes are clean. All of the zest move to inner side. It's cool.

It will not get stuck in the teeth, but some of the grated zest tends to stick on the side where the zest comes out, especially when the orange is very fresh. However, it's easy to remove with a fork, so you don't end up losing any. I have found this to be the best orange/lemon zester I own.

It won't stay completely clean (like any other kitchen utensil) but it doesn't get the clogging and ineffective results with the zester you find on find on a typical old fashioned four sided cheese shredder. By comparison... well, there really is no comparison. A microplane zester actually gets the zest off in usable amounts and can be cleaned a lot more easily.

The fine mesh of the basket used for grinding your nuts will not allow pulp into the milk chamber. The only way that is going to happen would be if you overfilled it. I haven't found it overly difficult to clean. I make sure to always clean it immediately after use and scrub it will the brush provided. I have had mine for years and it is still going strong.

It did not happen to me. I have been able to use it again. I suggest that you punch the tip with a nail or similar and take out the small amount of dry loctite

I only ever see black gunk in the 4 arc-like holes which I use a toothpick to dig it out easily. You take off the rubber mouthpiece, then you can see the 4 holes that the mold forms in.

I ordered mine almost 2 months ago...no mold then and still no mold. I keep them on the shelf, in the bag they arrived in and inside a 2nd ziplock bag with all the air squeezed out. They still look, smell, and taste wonderful. :) I bet it was a bad batch. And if that happens with anything, I normally just contact the company right away and it gets sorted out. If not, Amazon is wonderful with customer service issues!

I don't understand your question. Zest is the outer coating on the fruit. You cut the fruit in half and twist on this to get juice, which flows through holes and into the detached cup. I have a little appliance I run over the outside to remove the zest.

There are two smaller graters/scrapers on this boxed grater. I use one as a small cheese grater and the other I have never used. It might be best used for a nutmeg scraper. So I have two lemon/orange zesters. One looks like a longish metal file with small cutting lips in it which works very well. The other is another small hand grater which I use for larger zest pieces. I do love my OXO grater and do not have a Cuisinart grater.

Most of the time but there are occasions pop corn will get stuck. I've greatly enjoyed mine. Hope this helps.

I did find it stuck to one of my capped teeth, however only until I was able to get it fully chewed (softened) then no problem. I it's a small price to ensure NO ASPARTAME or other fake sugars!!!

No, the teeth do not ruin the jar lids. On some small plastic lids, it sometimes leaves a tiny mark, but has no effect on how the lid works. The teeth are actually quite small and not that sharp. I love mine!

Never thought about that! But will be trying in the future. Of course, one can just use a grater to get zest...as well as using a very sharp knife to carve the lemon/lime/orange skin. This apple peeler....worked wonders on the apples especially when you have several trees to do! Loved it!

They won't get dusty, as the lid keeps them covered. But, the box is not airtight, so they might still loose flavor. Once I get my second one of these, I'll be putting my celestial bags in Ziplocs and then putting them in there.

Personally, I would not, because this is a powder for flavoring and does not have the texture of lemon zest. If you don't want to zest a fresh lemon skin, which is easy to do and very flavorful, you can purchase a jar of dried lemon zest in most grocery stores. McCormick's is good, and just add that to batter or whatever. You can rehydrate easily in a small amount of water if you need to. It's good to have around for when you are in a pinch. After saying all this, nothing compares to fresh rind, when zested, the oils in it release and it's sublime.

So as one other said, they don't always hold pressure. But, I think it does most of the time. My tennis balls have enough bounce it has to be. As for life, mine is 6m old and working about the same as when I got it. I did lube with I think some vaseline. Without that it really drags when you put it together. Some say that's the wrong thing to lubricate it with. I'm guessing you can get another o-ring at any good hardware store.

I am not a vendor and have no answer.Perhaps probing the little hole in the attachment with a needle would take out the deposit or food particles stick in there. You can try to soak it on vinegar I asse
