Handy Kitchen Hint: In the absence of a microplane, the most useful kitchen tool for zesting citrus fruit is an oroshi grater. (It's even better than the smallest grater that we had, which was rather small, but made for a mandoline. The oroshi grater was also a mandoline attachment, which is why we had one in the house.)

Corollary: Cleaning the remaining zest out of the oroshi grater is very difficult and highly unpleasant.

My stepmom uh. gave our zester away because she never used it, and she needed to zest an orange the other day.

I came home and there was this horrible mangled orange sitting next to the kitchen sink, and I was like 'Jan wtf happened to this orange?' and she was like 'Oh! I zested it!' and I was like '....with what?' 'A knife! :D' '...and how did that work out?' 'Not bad, actually!' '...maybe for the zest but this poor orange is going to need therapy.'

That actually sounds like a decent idea- save for the fact that none of our knives are as sharp as we'd like them to be, and we'd probably cause severe bodily harm, one way or another.
