In the recipe sense, what does one orange, zested mean?!
Answers: I am wanting to make a cake and it calls for one orange, zested what does that mean?
Use a fine grater to "scrape" off the outer most part of the orange peel, just the orange part. Do a whole orange and use the "shavings" you get. You have zested. (2 Tablespoons of undiluted frozen concentrate orange juice will give you the same flavor!)
It wants the zest of one orange (the orange part of the skin). You can buy citrus zesters, or just use a vegetable peeler (with a very light hand). Make sure you get the orange part only. If you get any of the white on your peels it will taste bitter. Take all of the orange off of one orange that you can, and that's the zest of one orange.
It is the skin of and orange. If you don't have a zester you can use a grater. Just grate the out side of the orange, be sure not to get any of the white membrane underneath (it is bitter).
Actually, its the zest of the orange thats important. What they usually do is take a cheese grater but use an orange. This causes some of the peices of the orange peel to sprinkle upon their dishes which adds a delicious and mouthwatering tang.
THE ZEST IS THE OUTSIDE OF THE ORANGE - THE PEAL - GRATE IT - SAVE RESIDUE -THAT IS WHAT U NEED - GIVES THE CAKE AN ORANGE FLAVOR
exactly what says take a zest grater and grate the zest of one orange
