IMPROVEMENTS IN ZESTERS

摘要

A kitchen utensil, in the nature of a zester (15), having a zester blade (17) on which an array of teeth are formed. The blade (17) is fashioned out of a blank of thin metallic material, the edges of which are quite sharp. At least two such edges intersect to create a very sharp point and which becomes an area of potential injury. To minimize injury at that intersection, and further, to protect counter tops and the like from marring and scratching, a- protective tip (40) is fitted over that intersection. The protective tip (40) is made out of a soft plastic or rubber material and inhibits contact with the point at that intersection and the area immediately adjacent thereto.
