Best Answer

A zester (there are several types) is meant to remove just the bright colored thin layer on the outside of the lemon (or orange or lime) which is called the zest. Rub the lemon over the rough part of the zester a few times until you see the yellow being removed. Stop when you begin to see the white pith under the yellow. That part is bitter. Move to another spot on the lemon and continue until you have all the zest you needs.
