Stainless steel zester on a white backgroundWhen I only need a small amount of grated cheese, instead of getting out my grater which is a pain to clean, I use my zester.

Many people complain about cleaning cheese graters. Before usin a cheese grater rub some shortening or spray both sides with Cooking oil in a spray pump (much better then Pam) Grate away and wash right away wiht hot soapy water. No stuck cheese.

When using your zester, place it wrong side up, as the picture shows. All the zest will remain in the zester, enabling you to neatly place all the zest in your recipe. Saves a lot of cleanup time.

If you use a microplane grater upside down, it contains the zest or cheese, making it easier to judge the amount . This cuts down on the mess too.
