you can squeeze lemons on a knife or something
One medium sized lemon should be quite sufficient to make 2 tablespoons lemon zest.

It's not a unit of measure. It's a kind of thing. In a recipe, lemon zest or orange zest is the thin outermost part of the rind. When grated into fine bits, it is used as flavoring. In cooking, the zest is the thin outer peel of a citrus fruit, obtained by grating the peel of the fruit until one sees the white of the fruit. In a lemon, it's about a tablespoon. In an orange, it's about 3 tablespoon.
No. Lemon zest is the outer skin (the yellow part) of a lemon. Lemon pepper is a mixture of dried granulated lemon zest and black pepper.
Lemon zest is the very outside layer of the skin of a lemon - the yellow part - if you cut into the white part you have gone too deep and that part is called the pith. Lemon pepper is a completely different thing and is nothing to do with lemons and will give you a completely different flavour. 2 tablespoons of lemon pepper.
Lemon Zest is the outermost(yellowest) part of the lemon skin :)
No, most cleaners use lemon oil which is the substance in lemon zest.
no, it is the outer skin of the lemon when you scrape it off, it is called "zest"
I use lemon zest when I cook
Lemon zest is gotten from grating skin of a lemon, just the skin, not the pinth on a micro grater or with a lemon zester. You get the esential oil and VERY lemon flavor.
In order to perserve fresh lemons, I have heard you can freeze the lemon juice and alos the zest. Is it more efficient and savory to use food savor? Thank you. Peggy in Spokane
