It is a citrus zester. Just slide the edge over the skin of any kind of citrus and you will get little slivers of the flesh.

That makes so much sense. After your reply i asked my wife if she knew what it was and she said the same as you... but im glad i found this forum in the process of my search. Thanks!
The other notch will give you strips of peel. I use mine for making marmalade.

That's the kind of zester that I had for many years, until the Microplane came around. There is also one with just one cutter, but larger than those holes - that one has both in one - to cut a long strip of zest, about 1/8" wide, more for garnishing, and drinks.
Welcome to the forum!
I just saw that Princess has something to do with those wider strips.

I have one too. I almost always forget about until I have done something else. I like the look of the little slivers and curls of zest that the little holes make.

I used the channel notch to remove pieces of peel and make flower patterns for pickled vegetables for a party. I added both the slices and the shreds to the bowl (hat tip @K'girl).
That is a pretty veggie bowl!

Thank you! It was served at a master gardener graduation potluck. The entrées were barbecue and ham, so they went quickly! [emoji2]
