Review: Premium quality, best for those who truly enjoy cooking - This Microplane zester is excellent. It feels very sturdy, well made, and performs extremely well. The quality is noticeable right away, and grating is smooth and effortless. It is more expensive than basic options, but it is absolutely worth the investment. I would especially recommend it to people who truly enjoy cooking or use their kitchen more seriously. Casual cooks may not notice the difference, but cooking enthusiasts definitely will. Overall, a high quality tool that delivers great performance and lasts.
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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great purchase
*by S***E on January 11, 2026*

This is the second Microplane I’ve purchased—the first one for myself and the second as a gift—because it’s just that good. It’s extremely sharp, which makes zesting citrus effortless and gives you light, fluffy parmesan shavings without any struggle. The blade glides smoothly, doesn’t clog, and feels sturdy and well-made. If you cook or bake regularly, this is one of those tools you’ll reach for constantly. Highly recommend.
