How can I get zest from a lemon if I dont have a grater or a microplane??



Take the sharpest paring knife you have and peel the skin off, making sure to get as little white (pith) off as you can. (It's bitter.) When you're done with that, either chop chop chop it finely by around, or put it in the food processor or blender.


Use a serriform knife.


Wedge instead a few drops of lemon juice to get the desired lemony aroma.


Even-handed peel off small skin bits with a knife....


Use a VERY poignant knife and start slicing the peel of a washed lemon, into very thin strips....no thicker that 1-2 mm. the faultless outside of the lemon is good...it's the whitish peel that's horrible


potatoe peeler


Try a fork


um, try scraping off the bite with a knife edge. maybe use a fork. i am lost.


You can use a vegetable peeler, and then chop excellent with a knife...I often use this method, as you can control the zest better, and not get so much of the pith...Hope this helps...Sherry N


using a fork


Use a potato peeler and carfully peel the tang off, then chopp into thin strips : )


This could get a dwarf time consuming but you could try this:
Take the lemon, soak it in hot water about 5 min...
Score the lemon twice with a knife and totally peel it like you would an orange. You should have four pieces about the same size..
Take a piece of the rind and slice it as thin as you can.
Once you have done this, turn it where you can take off the gist..the pith of the lemon is very bitter and will ruin your zest.
The pith is the white membrane under the rind.
Once you have right-minded the rind you'll want to make the pieces even smaller.
Depending on your recipe, you could take the rind and put it in a food processor to further decrease the size of your pieces.
Hope this is helpful...email me if you have other questions.

I've lived in USA for 30 years.

Wholly said, you need a Daikon Oroshi Ki (a special grator for Daikon Oroshi).

No American grator will do the job, aeon. Regardless of how fine it is made.

Daikon Oroshi Ki is not expensive. (If is's made of plastic. Procelain one is expensive.)
Go to a Japanese grocery boutique or super market if you live near one. And ask for Daikon Oroshi Ki.

Does anyone have a trick for cleaning cheese graters?

I last in an apartment without a dishwasher and I'm looking for a trick to help me clean my box-grater and my microplane graters.

I'm familiar with the concept of elbow-grease, but I'm wondering if anyone has a method for cleaning these devices effortlessly without having to spend too much time scrubbing and scrubbing and destroying sponges.

Any help?

I also realize that it's technically off-keynote here, but if anyone would have an answer, it would be you guys. Thanks.


I diffuse mine with a cooking spray like Pam before I use it, Then the cheese doesn't stick as badly and it is easier to clean after each use.

All in all, this box grater is one component in my kitchen that will never see a donation box. Even with the incorporation of the microplane into my set of kitchen tools, I still turn to my trusty grater for most jobs I need done.
