1. yes, it's the "skin" you can use a cheese grater be sure not to get any of the white stuff, cause that's bitter and nasty tasting.
2. Yes it is the skin and zest of the lemon...you can use a chesse grater OR you can use a potato peeler OR you can just take a knfe, remove the skin and then cut very thing pieces
3. blend the lemon peels with a little water
4. It means that you need to finely grate the outside peel (yellow) of the lemon.
5. yes, peel is the skin or zest of the lemon. it contains a whole lot of flavor. Take the skin and either grate it onto a rasp or microplane (avoid getting white stuff; turn often) or just cut off skin (avoid white) and chop finely in a food processor or blender, w/ a bit of sugar.
6. Actually it is called zest it is the yellow part of the lemon peel. A potato peeler or a very sharp knife with a short blade are used to remove the zest
7. The skin of lemons.
8. It is literally the skin of the lemon. You can just use a cheese grater to grate it. I've done it before.
9. yes. its theskin, you can use the small side of yourgrater, or if you have a foodprocessor, carefully slice off just the coloured part of the peel, leaving the white alone, and whurr it in theprocessor for a few seconds, until to looks like course salt.. Yopu could also score it with a sharp fork until you get enough but that takes quite a long time If you don't haveany lemon zest( grated peel) you don't really need it but your baking will taste bland
10. peelings off lemons - you grate them !
