All-Stainless Steel Lemon Zester Tool

A true American original, the Microplane zester has become a must-have for both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts alike. Its iconic rasp-style design, long and narrow, originated in the woodshop and has proven to be perfect for zesting lemon, limes, and other citrus fruits, as well as grating parmesan and other hard cheeses. In addition to these uses, it is also great for grating whole spices, ginger, and garlic.

The design of this grater is reminiscent of a rasp, a woodworking tool known for its small and efficient nature. The sharp cutters make grating easy, but also require caution to prevent any grated knuckles. The flat grating surface allows for smooth movement of the fruit across the blades, while the rounded edges make it easy to grate directly into a bowl. This zester works beautifully with ginger and all citrus fruits, producing tiny pieces that eliminate the need for additional chopping.

Microplane prides itself on using Photo-Etched technology to create ultra-sharp grating blades in the USA. The specific tooth set of the blade is designed to extract flavorful citrus rind while leaving behind the bitter white pith, perfect for adding zest to various dishes. The surgical-grade stainless steel material ensures rust-free and sharp blades over time. The zester/grater is dishwasher safe and comes with a protective cover for storage.

Whether you're looking to zest citrus for vinaigrettes or grate Parmesan for pasta dishes, the Microplane zester is a versatile and essential tool in any kitchen. Its durability, sharpness, and ease of cleaning make it a top choice for many chefs and home cooks. Add a burst of flavor to your dishes with this American-made, iconic zester.
