a kitchen tool that is held in the hand and used to remove very small parts of the skin of lemons or other similar fruits:
She scraped off the lemon and lime rind with a zester to make a citrus-flavoured syrup.
Zesters aren't just for lemons - they are ideal for oranges, limes, and grapefruit too.
I have never bothered with a zester, because you can just use a regular grater instead.
He pared off some thin shreds of lime using a zester and used them to decorate the cheesecake.
You can pick up a zester really cheaply and I'd recommend having one in your kitchen.
