Different vegetable cutters (Nayser Diser, Alligator, etc.)

My Status is already ready for the trash. I rarely used it. (I'll cut it rather with a knife, because little is needed now. Even the Alligator is too lazy to get out of the box)
So that's it. At first, the unloved Status simply stopped "hiding" its teeth inside, the lever does not work and that's it ...
In addition, I already wrote somewhere that I dropped the box itself from it (and the plastic there is fragile) burst and that's it !!! Write letters!
Not sold separately. Sorry. So good friends at the beginning.
Now I rub the zucchini and carrots again on a "regular" four-sided grater. Alive and healthy. Not complaining.

[Ritus]

Ritus, you have non-trivial tasks. Can you fork out for a boulet? look there slicing of all kinds and soft takes. Go to the topic with bullets. Take a closer look. ask about the assembly there. Maybe you really need to look in the direction of a good electric grater.

How are you going to process your crop without units now?
THS-ka, decock is not stronger than status, quite weaker, the same screw and Chinese material. I don't think they will last longer, and in relation to tomatoes, they are also dumber. There remains one burner with its fixed slices.
It's hard.

But for today, all these hand graters, except in fact alligator cubes - while they are not there, can be replaced with an electrician. Now this bullet has a lot of disks, the only question is the price.

My Status has arrived. At the first moment he disappointed - he did not take the carrot at all. On a fine mesh. Well, just nothing - even cut into thin plates. And a half-headed bow - too - with no options at all.
But in the end, I cut the onion into plates less than a centimeter thick and in this form it does a great job. And I really liked cutting potatoes for soup. Even if you only use it for this, I'm happy. The main thing is that the onion does not go into the eyes. And then at home everything is tender, when I cook, they have tears, snot from onions.
Girls, and on Olivier you cut the Status? Will he take boiled potatoes or will they get stuck in the grate?

I also liked the Alligator mandolin grater, which I ordered from Anna K. THS principle, but the quality of materials is much higher. True, I have not used it yet, but I have already drawn conclusions from first impressions.

I relied on minimalism with versatility, so I chose TNS-ku from all graters and other grinders. She chops me into strips, cubes, slices of any thickness, maybe a little into cubes and even spaghetti.
Compact, convenient, takes up little space, always ready to work, easy to clean. I have adapted well to it and am terribly pleased with it.

I like minimalism too. But the cutting speed is still more important.
Therefore, it attracts in Gigante the speed of slicing kaputa.
The alligator cuts cubes and cubes quickly. But tns and the like, if I understood correctly 2 in 1 giant plus an alligator, but with a slightly lower speed and quality of cutting? Thank you girls for the explanations about tns-ke and other graters!

And my tns is excellent, it is often I use all sorts of beams, I often cut apples-pears into charlotte-pies with noodles, I also cut cabbage on it, in such squares, it's convenient for me. I'm definitely not complaining about dullness, I always wield gloves with gloves.
I also have a tiny status, these are cucumbers, or rather CUCUMBERS! even my retro husband uses it.

[Katerok87]

Therefore, I understand Galina.

Thank you, kind person, how nice it is when you are understood.

Katerok87, if you are interested in more detail about the work of tns-ki, find the topic about "graters and kevlar gloves", where I described my impressions in detail.The first portion was in the 60s area, continued by about 74.
At first I was going to buy a Berner, carefully studied both topics, chose a certain model for myself and all the inserts for it, even went to Babylon and looked at all this cute, funny set. Beauty, I tell you! Again, as with Zelmer, I was stopped by the too large volume of all this music and, most importantly, the high risk of injury, almost all the hostesses cut their fingers, some even more than once. No, this is not for me, I cut with my only sharp (no teeth) knife, even when it just lies in the sink.
And tns-ka I have a Swiss, and a reaper, and a falcon squeezer on the pipe.



Csscandle,
Our person!

lemon squeezer ... damn it! exactly, but didn’t I throw it away, I need to look, as I don’t use it as a fruit holder.

I do not use it as a fruit holder.

And what did you replace it with?

[Katerok87]

Katerok87,
if you want speed, take a look at an electrician. There you will have speed))

The alligator cuts in pieces in one go. We get cubes from cubes. The cubes are very neat. The advantage is in safe slicing. Without holders and gloves.
Minus: only three (the fourth is not in every model) - sizes.

The same cubes can be obtained on the Berner and THS-ke. But the principle is different and they will not be straight cubes a little, but parallelograms. But they are also quite normal. The principle is like on sharp graters - you drive the vegetable with handles back and forth. The sizes are different - you can even make very small cubes. In general, initially there are always more options for slicing on graters.

Speed? well there and there quickly. But on an alligator you can cut with "closed" eyes, and on graters you need to be on the line all the time. Need a holder or gloves.

TNS and the like, or Berner? Speeds on them the same... The question is ease of use.

Burner advantages in the sharpest knives, comfortable grip, durability, proven over the years.
The sharpest grater - attention is needed when cutting and then when rinsing. Do not forget the holder or gloves. Lots of inserts for different cuts take up space. The very arrangement of the knives is Berner's.
Immediately, I will definitely give the palm in ease of cutting to Berner without options, he is the sharpest and does not dull.

TNS and others like it, the main advantage in compactness is one grater, but more fragile than Berner. Then the device differs from the burner. The location of the knives, their control - everything is different.
In operation, there is less burner, so how long the slicer knife will last, time will tell.

It is difficult to advise without knowing your inclinations.
If you don't care about the number of items and you are very attentive, take the most sophisticated burner. It has been tested over the years. You can take a version with slice adjustment, choose different sizes of cubes.

If you need compactness, then look among the TNC-like ones.

Giant or graters? Consider only the giant's main knife. Nozzles in my opinion there are so-so. Only if there is nothing else at all. They are not competitors to Berner. The surface is small, the holder is worse.

Well, if the graters are one knife in the middle, then the giant has 4 knives in the middle and sharpened in both directions. While the gap can be adjusted with the tees, the giant has a fixed gap for very fine lace cutting.
Have you ever cut a cabbage? There are shredders - you drive cabbage on them. And there are shredding knives, you drive the cabbage with a knife. A question of your preferences and the number of knives on the machine.
The giant is lighter, that is, you can drive it over the vegetable. Although what vegetable other than cabbage can be driven by a giant, it does not occur to me

Slicing speed? I would not say that a drop in this speed is directly noticeable on other units. But on other units, you can cut different thicknesses, but there are no serrated knives. That is, the giant is thin lace "shaggy" slices.

A giant is a fat grater. Gourmet grater. Another type of slicing. Shaggy thin slices.

You can buy a giant for the sake of such a rub and use additional inserts. They are the most inconvenient and smallest of all of the above, but they are quite working when there is nothing at all.
Gloves are required. Seriously cut yourself as not to do figs.

Summary. THS-like or burner = this is the main type of rub with the main types of rub.
Berner has the highest quality slicing in any matter. TNC-like ones can have problems with tomato cucumbers, that is, very soft vegetables.

The alligator and giant are already additional units. In principle, their functions can be obtained in graters. The question is ease of use.
The speeds are practically the same everywhere. The quality of the slices is also excellent.

but actually, now such a kick-ass electrician has appeared, which is just enviable for those who have nothing yet. And the knives are sharp and speed. TNS-ki, burners will soon become a thing of the past. Only for giving will remain.
But when a heap of "dowry" is already in the kitchen of grandmother's times, you just look.
But if you don't have anything yet, take a closer look, for example, at the bullet

And here I once again yearned for Nyser. How he helped me out ...
For vinaigrette and boiled vegetables.
The grate flew out of the grooves and the knives stood up. I threw it away. But she left the magnificent plastic container and substituted it in the Status, instead of the burst one.
Do not think bad, he just served his. Such a thing cannot last forever, considering its price.
Now just buy a new one.

🔗

The speeds are practically the same everywhere.

I'm sorry, but again I will object. On a regular slicer, you run a vegetable over the knife - you get one slice. Reverse - idle stroke. On the Giant, there are four slices there, back - four. That is, at the same speed, the productivity is eight (!) Times higher. And why do you regularly talk about some "shaggy" slices? I don't see any shaggy: Esthete vinaigrette or here Omelet roll with crab sticksand I also have a lot of recipes with Giant sliced ​​vegetables. Here is large

TNC-like ones can have problems with tomato cucumbers, that is, very soft vegetables.

As well as on very hard ones, when cutting into narrow bars, they do not cut through.

I do not mean visual shaggy.

But because of the serrated knife there, the cut at the slices is not as smooth as on a regular grater. Before the giant, I made cabbage salad right on the decoca so that the pods could be seen through. And on one knife, it turned out straight firing-firing, in my opinion, too, very quickly.
But the pods on the jagged knives of the giant are a little different, I call them "shaggy cut". The juiciness is somewhat different, but for me the difference is tangible.
Because of these notches, I have less head slip if I use it as a shredder, and when I use it as a knife, the head is round and all the knives do not fit.
In general, of course, a few knives accelerate the speed, but are you sure that this is fundamental when choosing?
To be honest, for me, only these wonderful notches on the knife make sense and interest, which slightly change the taste, because transparent slices with a smooth cut can be obtained on other units. And in terms of speed and on a regular shredder, it turns out quickly :)

But again. I hate mechanics, especially sharp ones.
I would have a shredder in my Boshik like a giant - I would be in seventh heaven.
Agree, all these giants, burners and so on are much more dreary than a good electrician, if there is a normal kitchen with electricity and a workplace.

Came here from kitchen trivia on your recommendation.
I looked at your cucumber slices - even the photo shows waves, of course, not the ninth wave, but there are.
You see, I am drawing purely speculative conclusions, I ought to find the owners of the Giant somewhere nearby and ask for a visit: taste it organoleptically!
PS I have an Italian vegetable peeler with a microreader. Honestly, I don't like the surface of the potato after it. It is good for those who have fallen asleep, then you can step on the throat of your own song, an ordinary peeler will not take a flabby skin.

but are you sure that this is fundamental when choosing?

Of course, the choice is not important! You just can't equate them in speed.

[Igor]

Igor, as I have already written a hundred times, for me a giant principled on cabbage. On carrots, potatoes, and so on, according to figs, what to plan on, but physically pressure is easier on smooth blades.
Thin slices can be obtained using different units, including electric ones, without unnecessary trouble and quickly.
I would suggest you take a cabbage and get your vegetable peeler from half a glass thin cabbage strings with a wavy cut and compare the same thin ones with a smooth cut. Basically, you yes .. understand the difference on your peeler and decide for yourself: is there a difference for you.

It is difficult to advise without knowing your inclinations.

Well, I'm not a sophisticated person, so the grater for 200 rubles seemed very sharp to me.

But if you don't have anything yet, take a look, for example, at the bullet

Thank you !!! Do you have a bullet too? Is he with cubes?

Damn it, I didn't even think about it. I went to try.
The casket was just opening! One male mind (even one like mine) is good, but if you also add a female mind ...



fffuntic
Shredded with a vegetable peeler, the result: the cabbage is thinner, I can say that it is more beautiful, but less elastic. While it tastes better on Berner. We ought to somehow try to salt for a test.
Thanks again for the idea!

Is he with cubes?

No.

[Igor]

Igor, the whole effect

exactly from translucent slices. The fat is not at all like that.
It is the translucent ones in the salad that give the effect of greater juiciness with a slight crunch.
Salt or in soup for a big fan. I don't like it at all. In the soup it boils down like some kind of mush. When salting, also porridge.
For me, this is only an exclusively salad pleasure.

A small overview of vegetable cutters.

Cubes. Today there is NO electrician that would give variety in cubes. Alas.
there is neat really large cubes of the order of 0.8 -12 mm. These are combines and blenders with the following cutting: Kenwoods - a cube cutter attachment, Philips blenders, Bosch technique, the Moulinex vegetable cube cutter also stands apart - https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=519070.msg%25msg_id%25
which also gives a centimeter straw along with centimeter cubes.
All these units are critical to boiled soft vegetables. We must work at a low speed, otherwise it’s mess. Cooked vegetables must be well cooled and not overcooked. That is, they must still be elastic.

Therefore, there is still no electrical alternative to a mechanical alligator or graters with cubes.

There are also vegetable cutters such as Ariet and Moulinex (Moulinex is much sharper and more convenient to use) -with "quasi-cubes", they also come as attachments for Moulinex-meat grinders. Small sloppy parallelogram cubes. That is, you cannot do this on a festive table, for every day, well, as anyone. These vegetable cutters generally all the cutting is so home-grown, rougher than on manual units. For soup and preservation it is quite good, for salads already for an amateur. Performance varies by model.

They are kind of weak, for a small family, slow, a large volume for workpieces may not pull.
And there is stronger as a nozzle for a Mulinex meat grinder.
These have an undoubted advantage: they are extremely simple and quick to assemble and clean. It couldn't be easier.
Here is a video with a cut on units of this type.
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=147103.0
🔗
- the topic contains a lot of details about such simple units.
In slices and cubes, it is far from the grace of hand-slicing.
All. There is nothing more for home use cubes.

But there are a lot of models with the function of a vegetable cutter. But, as a rule, there is a limited selection of rubbing. for example slices only two types: large and thin.I have never seen transparent ones anywhere, except only for a combine of a certain type of Phillips, there is a disc with a choice of the thickness of the slices. Therefore, for example, for cabbage for borscht, you also need to look for a model that suits your taste, so that you are satisfied with the thickness, or thinner than necessary, then roughly thick.

The choice of a grater is already easier. There are several types. You can take a walk if you dig deeper into different models.
Then the second criterion is the quality of the rub, the amount of juice lost by the vegetables. The ability to grate boiled soft vegetables. Harvesters and blenders are usually comparable to hand rubbing. Little ones are dumber and can wrinkle. Every little thing, such as a filipka-vegetable cutter, a mulinex vegetable cutter is here in the laggards.
The third criterion is the amount of waste. Harvesters and blenders were also in the lead here. The laggards of the phillips. In this regard, Phillips should be well chosen in general, even in combines, they like to do with a lot of waste.
The fourth criterion is the selection of vegetables by the size of the neck. Here the picture is sad. Necks, as a rule, require medium-sized sizes and all + or - are the same.
The fifth criterion is convenience in cleaning and washing later. Of course, small vegetable cutters are in the lead.
The sixth criterion is the speed of rubbing. Well, here in the lagging only models like Ariet-Moulinex are small ones for household use with one speed.
The seventh criterion is ease of use. Blenders require you to hold the button while working, and combines and many even small vegetable cutters completely free your hands.

But just recently Bullet and Ninja have appeared - they have no cubes.
In terms of the sharpness of the knives, that is, the quality of the rub, they were equal in the reviews of our girls to the manual rub. They have the widest throat and speed like those of advanced combines.
Hands are free. Easy to assemble and clean.
Bullet has a very great !!! - very !! number of disks, but nevertheless it is worth looking at them for your preferences, suddenly the ones you need are not there + it is also an advanced spirozer at the same time.
Here is the real owner shows the tests of the unit
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=19022.0
Ninja is more of a perfect blender.
The price is cosmic. Ask our girls for details what they have already bought. Browse the disks. While there are few owners

Katerok87,

specifically, my kitchen is already crammed with appliances that cover my needs.
Alligator for dice, bosch blender with great sharp knives, bosch harvester, but they have a small selection of discs compared to the bullet, not counting the burners, mandolins, giant, little moulinex and other garbage in the closets. Therefore, I cover all my needs with different units. I have already described their pros and cons for me more than once. There is no one perfect unit in my kitchen. But I will not be able to explain to my family the need for a bullet at today's price, I have already dragged everything up to my ears
But now, if I bought from scratch, I would choose one Bullet as a vegetable cutter as a replacement for my entire electro-manual heap. And leave the alligator for the dice and that's it.

But it's dumb to take an example from me. I don't like cutting with my hands AT ALL. Lazy. I would rather have crooked slices from malyavka Moulinex than perfect hands on a sharp berner.

which also gives a centimeter straw along with centimeter cubes.

Straws 7 mm, as in Berner, but in moulinex they are smoother.

[We do not apply the offensive words "lies" and other harshness to opponents.]

Seriously cut yourself how not to do figs

it is possible on the Berner and similar shredders, and not on the Giant. You need to fix the product with a table fork and chop with the Giant, without touching the knives with your hands. You don't need to carry vegetables around the Giant.

Shaggy

Larisa is right:

I don't see any shaggy

Alligator and giant are already additional units

There is nothing simpler than an alligator and similar devices, especially when cutting boiled foods into cubes.
Shredding cabbage, most effectively, is the Giant.
And, for example, it is very convenient to chop garlic with the finest petals on such a (kitchencraft slicer kcvslice) shredder, setting and holding the "zero thickness"

more fragile than berner

I have a Soviet shredder with an oblique blade arrangement (narrow straw, wide straw, plates) for more than 35 years - everything is as sharp as on the day of purchase ... and there are a lot of chopped on it ...
such a shredder (narrow straw, wide straw, plates of 2 thicknesses, fine grater) - not much less:

also - in working order

for me only these wonderful notches on the knife make sense and interest, which slightly change the taste

placebo effect. Let you try, with your eyes closed, the same cabbage, chopped of the same thickness with knives with different sharpening, you cannot tell.

We do not apply the offensive words "lies" and other harshness to opponents.

placebo effect. Let you try, with your eyes closed, the same cabbage, chopped of the same thickness with knives with different sharpening, you cannot tell.
Well, if you call "bullshit" "placebo", it is certainly not so offensive ...
"There are many things in the world, friend Horatio, that our sages never dreamed of." (FROM)
You see, let's then determine at what thickness, for example, 1, 2, 3, 3 mm the placebo effect will be, but then everyone will understand the difference. But forgetting that some can feel this difference even by 1 mm of thickness is not necessary at all.
Let's say without false modesty, I (and 90% of other people) will without any doubt feel the difference between Korean carrots grated on a simple Soviet four-sided grater and chopped on a Berner or chopped by hand. It's more difficult to distinguish "manually - Berner" ...
You have probably met some information on the Internet that the experts allegedly could not distinguish between white and red wine with their eyes closed? And also expensive from cheap! Like, if there is no difference, then why pay more. Alas, everything was wrong, firstly, not experts, but students, and secondly, not with their eyes closed, etc. and so on, it was just a study of how vision affects human perception, and not a test of the qualifications of wine experts. In short, all this is a lie. But on many sites there was a heated debate!
Again, I do not deprive anyone of the sacred right not to feel the difference, well, this is how people are arranged, everything is different for everyone!

[the same]

some can feel this difference even by 1 mm in thickness

I wrote:

shredded the same thickness with knives different sharpening

An illustrative example: to make sure that cinnamon has practically no taste, but it has a wonderful smell, for which we, in fact, love cinnamon, it is enough to pinch our nose with our fingers, put some pure ground cinnamon in our mouth and chew it ... then let go of your nose and chew again ... Compare taste sensations ...

probably met

no, I don't read that ... because what you describe is pure profanity and nothing more.

it was just a study of how vision affects human perception

judging by your description, either it was not any research, or someone incorrectly translated / retold the original source ... How an old joke evaluated Caruso's singing by the way a neighbor sang, who heard Caruso sing ...

An example of a real study on the visual perception of taste among the adult population: cakes were made from the same ingredients according to the same recipe, the only difference was that some of the cakes had a standard floral-patterned decor, and some imitated fried eggs. sandwiches with cheese, sausage, etc. dishes ... The result of the experiment: the imitation cakes were found tasteless, because visually, the brain expects a different taste. In both cases, the decor was from the same ingredients, but differently decorated.
Another example of taste differences: people who grew up on garden strawberries fully ripe under the southern sun cannot recognize ripe garden strawberries grown under lamps - they do not pick up under lamps of the same taste as under the southern sun.

We are here to help each other in choosing.

Our task is simply to share our impressions, personal delusions and everything that we are personally guided by in our choice. Moreover, since we are all somewhat similar, even our placebo delusions will be repeated in other people and should be warned about them.
Therefore, personally, I do not insist on anything, I just notify that I absolutely do not like rubbing on gigantic graters with forks, since the glands are removed from the standard holder, and the glands of the forks interfere with me. Even the holder annoys me, I only put up with kevlar gloves.
About slicing. Oh, I have complete darkness here. I will find fault with the appearance horribly, if by and large. Moreover, since we do not eat with closed eyes, then I will not understand whether the brain is deceiving, or whether the taste is really not the same, I will not understand
Specifically, with my eyes closed, I will taste to taste the slicing on the dummy mullet, from my Boshevskaya one - because my slug mullet crumples and I taste it (well, I have such a feeling, real or not - I don't care). The degree of elasticity of a fresh tasty vegetable (old - yes, fig) for me depends on the size and quality of the slicing.
Therefore, for everyone who is similar to me in visual and taste sensations, I write. To enjoy your purchase. And if in a family of figs thicker, thinner cabbage in borscht, then their life is easier, and there is more choice.
But if the smooth edge of the cabbage slice is important to you, then it is more difficult. Why he is principled is another question

And a personal choice, after all, everyone will draw conclusions from what has been written

to help

just like that, and preferably objectively.

objectivity does not exist here. Because we are different.

Everyone chooses cubes differently for the vinaigrette. Someone needs a cm, but someone needs half a centimeter and this is a very fundamental question.
If a child eats spirals, but does not want what he has done on a grater, then what's the difference why? We need to make spirals.
We select nicers in different ways, which are similar in functionality, but feel different in the hand depending on the design. For example, Ritusiku likes the most unacceptable option for me, but my beloved does not suit her at all.

The only right decision is to describe in detail your personal impressions, and answer questions from your own bell tower. There is no need to pretend for more.

[OgneLo]

OgneLo

How many beautiful words do you have: placebo, profanity ...
The problem is that you are trying to climb with a running start to the pedestal of that "the neighbor who heard Caruso sing": absolutely not knowing me, you convince me that I will not be able to distinguish something !!!
Well, in all honesty, I just really can't understand at all what is the difference between the example I gave and your retelling "real research"about Caruso cakes. Agree (but this is unlikely, I do not even hope), this reality lies only in the fact that you wrote this way.
"no, I don't read that ... because what you describe is pure profanity and nothing more."Here is just such a situation, or listen to Caruso, or listen to a neighbor ... That is, to find (if you suddenly have a desire!) Research about wine, and it's quite simple, or not to read - that's your right!
Me and fffuntic we are trying to defend the right of each individual to independence, but we meet a flamethrower that burns out all life around us!
PS. By the way, I wrote about the same thickness (can be double-checked), but the thickness can be the same for different sizes, right?

Stop. World problems of the brain, perception, and so on, we go to discuss another topic. There are only vegetable cutters. Boys and girls, edit the digression under the spoiler, Since we have gone to the side here, make it minimally disturbing.

I will contribute to society. It seems that no one here has yet told in detail about the vegetable cutter from Zyliss. Although now they have already been taken out of production. but if someone sees it on sale. to make it clear.
I have here 🔗 and there was also 🔗.
I have been using the first one for a long time. but I didn't make friends with the second one and gave it to me (the process of installing and replacing the blades seemed very tricky to me).
What's in the kit - cutting with "matches" 3.5 mm, cubes 7 mm. slices 7 mm thick, / 0.7 mm. / 1.5 mm / 3 mm /.
I especially like the very handy protective slide for cutting short vegetable residues. The hole width is approximately 7.5 cm.




I use it now only for cutting with "matches" .. and even then rarely, since I almost "tied" it with manual cutting
But if I would buy a new one now, I would look towards OXO.

Zyliss all my cutting-rubbing devices are falling apart and cracking mercilessly

Good evening!
Can you grate orange peel on one of the giant's nozzles?
Just a giant is needed for cabbage salads, but you also need a grater for the zest.

I have a nut chopper from Zyliss. can opener and these mandolins (and I have a second white mandolin - I bought one for my daughter). ... All serve well and perfectly. and the plastic on one is not cracked.

Maria, I think that a fine grater will do it. I have it, but with oranges ... I didn't find it in the refrigerator. If I am a carrot, then what problems with the zest will be. But we must try.

yeah .. I also need to buy an orange and try. Be patient until evening. After work I will do an experiment. But there will be nothing to compare with. I don't have a special cleaner.
In theory, there it is necessary to cling so that without a white layer with conveniences. This should be checked.

I will wait for experiments from you girls.
This is how you have neither lemons nor oranges.

Yeah, Maria, neither one nor the other ... Hamster cranberries-lingonberries

[Marfusha81]

Marfusha81, Maria! I don't have citrus fruits at home either. But, if you try citrus fruits, then only on the cabbage grater itself. All other graters for the giant will not take citrus fruits. This is absolutely certain. Maybe a little scratch.

Difficult how. Then I will buy a cheap square with teeth.
I never thought that grating the zest is not so easy.

I never thought that grating the zest is not so easy.

No, it's easy to grate the zest, but there are already features of preserving the true pure aroma and taste of the zest: it is necessary that the teeth of the grater are located at an ideal angle to remove only the orange / yellow layer of the zest, since the white layer can already be bitter. Well, and the pungency, of course - the less we damage the cells, the less aroma we lose into the air.

I followed the Azonian link: there is such a stray in ikea and is cheap. I'll have to buy.

Ladies, now all citrus fruits are treated with some kind of chemistry, we have advertisements everywhere that you can't make zest from them. Processed with some kind of poison.

The zest is sold in small bags, it is better to buy.

what if you wash it with a washcloth and soap?

The zest is sold in small bags, it is better to buy.

That is, this zest is obtained from exclusive bio-nature-eco citrus, but these fruits are not on sale? Interesting.

what if you wash it with a washcloth and soap?

I thoroughly wash all the fruits with a sponge, sometimes, if strongly waxy, even with soap.

The zest is sold in small bags, it is better to buy.

Of course it's better, but here I saw only dry, but I don't like that.

fffuntic, I don’t know, but now there are such ciduli hanging everywhere. It is unlikely that it will be cleaned by washing, otherwise they would have written to wash before use.

I've only seen dry, but I don't like that.

There is a small choice, either buy organic products, or use dry products. When I read that there is poison, since then I will never use this zest.

[Marfusha81, Maria!]

Marfusha81, Maria!, bought a lemon with a very tough skin. I think it will be easier on soft. In general, I would not say that the giant is the most convenient cleaner. If you clean it with a high-speed method, then you get a strong pressure and peel off more than necessary, but if very slowly and carefully, then a thin layer of zest with sharp knives of a giant can be obtained on the main knife - wide stripes, and on a grater - like grains of zest.I liked the grater less, I think part of the aroma will be lost on it, it is dumber than necessary.
The conclusion is this: if there is an opportunity to buy a special grater for the zest, then it is advisable to buy. But in principle, you can get a juicy zest on a giant. The truth is very slow.
