## Description

desertcart.com: Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester Grater, 18/8, Orange : Home & Kitchen

Review: Nice Zester! - I really like this zester. I have only used it so far for cheese, lemon peel, and garlic. It did a nice job on all three items. The blades are very sharp and it is very easy to clean. I especially like the protective cover. The handle is a good length and comfortable to hold. It is a nice size. My previous zester was shorter and fatter and I like this longer thin one better. I have been placing the tester across my pan or dish to use so cannot speak of slip resistance. It seems to be well made so I expect to be using it for several years at least. Update: My daughter saw mine and wanted one just like it. Purchased for her Christmas stocking in a color to match her kitchen!
Review: The Perfect Grater! - My husband and I love using this new tool in the kitchen! It is SO much easier now to grate cheese over pasta dishes, grate lemon zest, etc., and cleanup is a breeze. It’s a heavy-duty, high-quality item, and I love the sleek-looking white handle. It has a great cover for the blades when not in use. We much prefer this to larger cheese graters and are extremely happy with our purchase. We decided to get one after taking a pasta class and seeing the chef using one; we wish we’d gotten this years ago!

## Features

- ZEST CITRUS: The blade is designed with a specific tooth set that takes the flavorful rind directly off the citrus fruit, while leaving behind the bitter white pith. Zest adds flavor to vinaigrettes, stir fries, salads, and baked goods! Change your life, with a little zest!
- SO MANY USES: grate ginger and garlic into a minced pastes to flavor many popular foods. Create ground spices from whole hard cinnamon or nutmeg. Use to shave a cork down to fit back into a bottle - even scrape off burnt or dark spots from cookies, scones, and toast. The possibilities are endless.
- ULTRA SHARP MADE IN THE USA BLADES: Microplate uses photo-etched technology to make ultra sharp grating blades right here in America! Made of surgical grade stainless steel this material stays rust-free and maintains sharpness over time. True stainless steel is magnetic, so this item can be hung on your magnetic knife strip. Non-scratch end tabs help protect counter tops.
- DISHWASHER SAFE: The tool is easy to clean, simply rinse immediately after use. Use a kitchen brush on the underside of the blade to clean out tough to reach particles. The zester/grater can also be placed in the dishwasher.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous time saver
*by A***H on December 17, 2025*

Wirecutter recommended. Sounded good, IS wonderful. I zest a lot of oranges and lemons, and this is so much easier, faster, neater, easy to clean up from. It doesn't put hardly any smells and spray into the air. Instead it is saved in the fine shavings. Absolutely a go-to item if you zest. Also excellent shaving hard cheese for pasta and sauce. Much easier to use and easier to clean than the grinder I used before.
