  • 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.

  • The Best for Zesting Lemons
Color: Yellow
I have purchased so many zesters over the years and none of them were great at zesting lemons or oranges for me. I even have a separate zester attachment for a $200 mandoline slicer that is not very effective at zesting lemons. Frustrated, I watched America's test kitchen to see what they were recommending. They rated this product the best in the zester category. I decided to take the plunge, and give this one a try. They were spot on with their recommendation of this product. It does a great job grating the skin of lemons. The teeth are very sharp and fine. The product itself is very sturdy with heft. Because it is well constructed, the product is economical. I do not think I will be needing to purchase any other grater for years to come. It has made the task of zesting lemons easy for me. It is so much better than any of the other lemon zesters I have tried using over the years. Before purchasing this item, I had been regulated to using a sharp knife to remove the peel, and then I would scrape the white bitter part from the underside of the peel, and then finely chop the peel; a very time consuming process. This gadget has saved me so much time. It is a kitchen must have for any serious bakers. ... show more

  • Great for zesting
Color: Yellow
I love microplane graters for zesting. I bought this one to replace one that was 12 years old. They do get dull after a while, so I'd probably replace them every five years or so. They're easy to use for zesting citrus fruits or grating everything from frozen ginger (I don't bother fresh anymore) to garlic to parmesan cheese. To clean, just run a sponge in the direction of the rasps under running water - do not try to grate the sponge by going against the rasps! The one issue with any of these style of graters is that they're so effective it's easy to grate your fingernails or fingers. Don't let kids play with them. They're deceptively sharp! ... show more

  • Amazing! Easy to use and very effective!
Color: Classic Blue
I’m not a super experienced zester, but if you never zest citrus or rely on a box grater, this thing will change your life. It’s so easy and super efficient. It easily gets all the zest off the fruit without getting any of the bitter pith. It’s quick and easy and, when paired with a juicer, it will revolutionise your use of lemons and limes. It also can be used to easily grate cheese or spices. The cleaning concerns mentioned in other reviews are real, but not that big a deal. I recommend rinsing it and giving it a light wash immediately after using. I haven’t had any issues with it and highly recommend this to anyone looking to up their cooking game with some zest. ... show more

  • Mini but mighty zester!
Color: Black
I love the fresh taste of lemon zest, but not the thick often bitter texture & taste from graters digging too deep instead of just skinning the bright yellow surface with the bright lemony flavor. I love that it is made out of high quality stainless and comes with a sturdy guard to protect all those tiny cutting surfaces and my hands. The size is just right for home use, quickly and easily zesting a few lemons, limes, oranges, etc. for me. ... show more

  • This is easier to use to grate lemon zest than any grater I have! I made some delicious lemon bars.
Color: Red
I like the way I can hold the grater/zester on the handle on one end while I grate with my other hand on the other end. It does a great job, quickly and easily!

  • It's our 2nd one. We are very happy with it.
Color: Black
After a couple of years of using our original Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester Grater, it finally became too dull to use effectively. Looking for a deal, I saw the 4 piece grater and zester set from Cambom. It turned out that none of the pieces worked very well. I ended up ordering another Microplane because we were so happy with the first. So far, it hasn't let us down. It has been perfect for zesting citrus and shredding hard cheeses. Simple to use and cleans up lickety split. I highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • My favorite kitchen gadget after the wooden spoon!
Color: Coral
Have you yet discovered the joy of grating parmesan over your latest chili or soup? Of grating a nut of nutmeg into the ricotta for your lasagna? We store the microplane in its protective sheath RIGHT IN THE CHEESE DRAWER of the fridge, so rarely have to clean it, but keep using it often to garnish our favorite foods with our favorite parmesan. I give this as gifts to newlyweds, new homeowners, and anyone who loves a good kitchen gadget. ... show more

  • Works as expected.

My wife says that this is better than the really old other brand that she really liked, but broke.
