yes, there is a device called a zester (I think). It basically shreds the orange peel into teeny thin strips

Re: what's orange zest?
Not the whole rind, it's just the outer layer of the rind... scrape it with a zester or a dessert fork.
It's the part that has the most flavor for baking and cooking.

Re: what's orange zest?
cool, thanks. I was going to ask if I can use one of those 4 sided graters. Didn't feel like having to go out and buy a zester, tired of shopping. :) I need orange zest to make some homemade cranberry sauce with brandy.
