Also, I'm not convinced that I didn't get any tiny pieces of plastic in my zest. As for the zest stuck in the holes, I found using a toothpick along with blowing hard thru the holes got almost all of it out. | |

When you rub the lemon/lime over it the plastic gets pushed down around the metal bits and rests in the valleys where the zest hides on you. When you are done zesting you pull the plastic off and can easily slide the zest off the plastic without any hassles. No, you don't get any plastic in your zest. Been doing it for years. I prefer microplanes over the box grater any day but if its all you got... | |
