xMeet the Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester Grater
In a vivid orange finish, the Microplane Premium Classic Zester Grater brings precision, speed, and versatility to everyday cooking. The 18/8 stainless steel body resists rust and the blades are produced in the USA using photo-etched technology, delivering a consistently sharp edge. The tool's design includes non-scratch end tabs to protect counters and a magnetic backing for easy storage on a knife strip or magnetic surface.
Zest with confidence
The citrus zest blade uses a tailored tooth pattern that takes the flavorful rind off the fruit while leaving behind the bitter white pith. The result is a fragrant, bright zest that can elevate vinaigrettes, stir fries, salads, and baked goods—without the bitterness that can dull a dish.
Unmatched versatility for everyday cooking
Beyond citrus, the zester invites a range of tasks. Grate ginger and garlic into a fine paste to start flavorful sauces and marinades. Shave whole spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg to release aromatic oils. The sharp edge can also shave cork from bottles or help clean up small blemishes on baked treats, offering creative ways to rework imperfect ingredients. The possibilities are many, and the tool is designed to handle them with ease.
