You know what I love? I love it when a company that already makes really stellar products pushes the envelope, looking for every way possible to improve their products.
Take Edgeware, for example. You already read about my infatuation with my zester, and how I consider it an essential kitchen tool for a myriad of reasons. Let me tell you how cool it was to see the newest line of Edgeware zesters and graters and realize that they’ve just flat out taken it to the next level.
I don’t know if they were hanging out in my brain or what, but they totally improved their products in every way I could think of to suggest, if I were suggesting.
Their new line of zesters and graters has an improved V-shape tooth for more consistent grating, and they’ve covered the entire plane with foodsafe non-stick coating so I no longer have to spend 5 minutes banging the darn thing on the edge of the bowl to get all the stubborn bits loose.
I’m really excited that their citrus zester now comes with a squeegee (who doesn’t love the word squeegee?!) to help you easily slide off all the bits of zest that stick to the underside of the tool. Let me tell you something: I love my zester, but I hated having to do that swipe with my finger. It just felt cringe worthy. I don’t like to talk about it. Hooray for Edgeware!
In fact, Hip Hip HOORAY for Edgeware, because guess what? They’ve put together an entire package of their newest zesters and graters for not just one, but TWO lucky MBA readers.
The Edgeware Zester & Grater Giveaway Package includes:
1 citrus zester ($14.99 value)

I like edgeware on facebook too!
I like MBA on Facebook!
I would immediately make my grandmother’s lemon bars.
i would make some blueberry muffins with lemon zest. yum!
I like you on facebook!!! Great great blog.
There are so many things I could make with the zester… Lemon Cheesecake Bars, Orange Yogurt Pound Cake, your Microwave Lemon Curd, and more! I would probably try the lemon curd recipe first and use it as a filling for cupcakes!
I am a fan of MBA on Facebook. The first dish that I would make with my Edgeware package would be Lemon Fusilli Pasta with Arugula by Barefoot Contessa. Not only are there lemons to zest, but a large amount of parmesan to grate! A perfect recipe to test out the products:)
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 cups heavy cream
3 lemons
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch broccoli
1 pound dried fusilli pasta
1/2 pound baby arugula (or 2 bunches of common arugula, leaves cut in thirds)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic, and cook for 60 seconds. Add the cream, the zest from 2 lemons, the juice of 2 lemons, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
Meanwhile, cut the broccoli in florets and discard the stem. Cook the florets in a pot of boiling salted water for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender but still firm. Drain the broccoli and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the pasta, and cook according to the directions on the package, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the pasta in a colander and place it back into the pot. Immediately add the cream mixture and cook it over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, until most of the sauce has been absorbed in the pasta. Pour the hot pasta into a large bowl, add the arugula, Parmesan, tomatoes, and cooked broccoli. Cut the last lemon in half lengthwise, slice it 1/4-inch thick crosswise, and add it to the pasta. Toss well, season to taste, and serve hot.
Lemon-lime bars.
Great package giveaway.
