is it good for zesting

Heck, yes. Depending on how fine you like your zest, you may have to take a knife and mince a little. But for my taste no knife is needed. It's not a new fanggled machine. It's a manual grater and grating is it's job.

It should be good for working a small compost heap. The edges are not sharp so no worries about reaching in and clearing packed in soil.

As long as works (not long befor it breaks) it does a good job of lettuce and other greens. I would recommend you find a cheeper one that would make you happy. I have a 10.00 dollar one that has lasted for years tha does as good!

I've used it to grind nutmeg, and it works pretty well. You need to put more than one nut into the chamber for it to work well (and it gets pretty noisy), but it will grind it up.

I have used it to GENTLY file down a corn, worked well, I was very careful not to let it go too fast

I've grated various vegies for for use in breads and cakes. I think it works fine for that, but I prefer the fine grater that you have to buy separately.

I use it for soups such as pumpkin soup etc. You should be fine with gravy and soups.

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

Yes, it is good for that, just be sure to follow the directions on the bottle for best results.

It does a good job on everything I've tried, but I haven't tried flaxseeds. It grinds fine as dust or coarse for pepper. Small and doesn't take a big space for storage. Sorry about not having your answer.

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.

In my opinion, no. I would purchase the Zepp attachment for that. It works well

This particular grater would NOT be good for lemon peel. (This one is more for shredding cheese or veggies). For zesting lemons, look for the Microplane 40020 Classic Zester/Grater (http://www.amazon.com/Microplane-40020-Classic-Zester-Grater/dp/B00004S7V8/). That is the tool you're looking for.

It would probably be okay to use for liquids or cremes. Not sure it would be the best tool for powders because of it's density. Hope this helps.

Yes, if it can go through hard veggies light potatoes and carrots I would. It might get sticky depending on the type of cheese I think would make neat patterns. SO go for it

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.
