Premium Classic Zester - Eucalyptus Green | Lemon Zester Tool for Citrus, Cheese, Veggies

Microplane is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process designed to create ultra-sharp grater blades. Created as a woodworking tool, the original zester revolutionized grating in 1994, finding enthusiastic support from professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts. Made in the USA, the tiny, razor-sharp teeth act like finely honed knives, cutting ingredients with precision rather than tearing them.

The Microplane Premium Classic Zester, characteristically long and narrow, revolutionized grating due to its ultra-sharp, photo-etched stainless-steel blade. Featuring 400 micro-teeth, it is perfect for zesting all citrus fruits and grating hard cheese, chocolate, ginger, garlic, nutmeg, truffle, spices, nuts, and more. This power blade offers the fastest and most effective way of grating, ensuring a perfect result every time.

Thanks to the sharpness of the blades, a minimal effort is all it takes for food to glide gently and easily off the blade without needing to apply any pressure. Graters (excluding Master Series) are dishwasher safe, but to ensure the blades stay sharp as long as possible, hand washing is recommended. Each product comes equipped with a protective cover for increased longevity and ease of storage. The hand-held paddle graters feature non-slip rubber feet, offering superior stability.

Microplane graters and zesters are globally celebrated for their exceptional performance and reliability. Adored by Michelin-star and professional chefs, as well as home cooks, these kitchen tools are truly indispensable for outstanding creations. The signature grating blades are proudly manufactured in Russellville, Arkansas, USA, while the assembly of the graters happens in a specialized factory in Mexico, guaranteeing unwavering attention to detail and excellence.

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. Grate ginger and garlic into minced pastes to flavor many popular foods, create ground spices from whole hard cinnamon or nutmeg, and even scrape off burnt or dark spots from cookies, scones, and toast. The possibilities are endless.

Microplane 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. The tool is easy to clean, simply rinse immediately after use, and it can also be placed in the dishwasher. The ergonomic soft-touch handle provides maximum comfort, and the non-scratch plastic feet offer more stability when grating.
