  • 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 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.

Description

Microplane Premium Classic Zester Graters A versatile must-have tool for the kitchen! This tool is normally used to grate citrus for perfect lemon, lime, and orange zests or to create pillowy mounds of parmesan cheese. However, it is also a great tool for grating spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and even chilies into fresh ground powders. If your dish requires fresh grated ginger or garlic, this tool will do that job as well. Customers have let us know that they even use this tool to remove burnt edges from cookies and bread. What will you use it for? What is the difference between Original Classic and Premium Classic? The Premium Classic Zester Grater by Microplane provides a soft touch handle, instead of hard plastic. In addition this line provides a choice of handle colors. You can expect the same grating or zesting experience with either tool. Why is Sharper Better? Food is grated or zested without ripping or tearing which improves the look of the final dish Food is grated or zested without bruising which improves flavor and aroma Less pressure is required while grating - making the task faster and more efficient Read more What makes Microplane so sharp? Do Chef's use Microplane? The Microplane is the standard for sharp, efficient grating and zesting in both home and professional kitchens - ask any chef if they use a Microplane! Dining out anywhere will usually lead to a Microplane sighting. Photo-etching and Surgical Grade Stainless Steel Microplane began using this signature technology in the 1990s. Most tools use stamped or cut metal. Photo-etching creates a much finer point, which means your Microplane digs in and performs better. Made in USA blades The photo-etching process takes place in Russellville, Arkansas; the grating blades for zesters are all made in the USA. Read more Many Different Colors to Choose from!

    • Beware Sharp, Unfinished Edges!
Color: Fuchsia
Review Image by ChefCat
Great microplane zester, very sharp. Love the little rubberized "feet" on the bottom that eliminate the possibility of its scratching the surface upon which you rest it to grate. It makes fast work of hard cheeses and zests. We love our freshly grated Asiago over home made pasta, so this little beauty is often at the table. One little flaw, however, prevents me from giving it five stars. When I used it to grate lime zest today, it accumulated on the underside of the zester, as many food items do. Never expecting a problem, I used my index finger to wipe it off into the bowl. YOWWWww! The sides of the zester, which curl around to the back, were not finished. One of them gave me a very nasty slice across the end knuckle of my index finger. The last brand of microplane zester was finished smoothly, so it never occurred to me that this might be a problem. In the future, I'll be sure to use a pastry brush or the tip of a dinner knife to dislodge the grated item. Lesson learned! ... show more

    • Recommended by Cooks Illustrated
Color: Turquoise
I belong to Cooks Illustrated online and always check their equipment review before I purchase ANYTHING for my kitchen. I've had microplanes in the past, I also give them as gifts. Every home should have one or two. This is the one Cooks Illustrated suggested "Buy the winner" so that works for me. It's IMPERATIVE you keep the hard plastic sleeve on it, otherwise, it could bend in the utensil drawer and end up breaking -- but sometimes other people in my kitchen haven't gotten that memo. Wash it immediately after using it, don't put it with anything else until that plastic sleeve protector is on it. ... show more

    • Disappointing
Color: Green
This is too fine. It turns ginger into mush and takes a lot of rubbing to process it. It doesn't have enough bite to get into a lemon peel. I also bought the Microplane 38000 model which is labeled "coarse" and it is exactly perfect and makes great tiny shreds. This one is very disappointing. A waste of $15. ... show more

    • Useless, probably counterfeit
Color: Black
I bought a Microplane years ago and loved it. I told my mother about it, and then I bought what I thought was the exact same product for her. She informed me that hers wouldn't grate anything. When I tried it, I saw that the tines were completely flat, therefore useless, and they were extremely easy to bend. I think it must be a counterfeit product. The plastic cover on hers was different from mine, and instead of "Made in USA" printed on the blade, as mine says and in the webpage picture, hers says "Stainless Steel". Buyer beware! ... show more

    • A perfectly "Grate" kitchen tool!
Color: Turquoise
This is a review for the Microplane 46220 Premium Zester/Grater, Turquoise by Microplane. It's easy to settle for any old zester, or keep using your old dull one, especially if you don't use it very often. Like, how much difference could there be? But I'm convinced that the better the quality the tool, the more often you'll likely use it, and this Microplane 46220 fits the bill. This is probably the last zester I'll ever need to buy. It's well-made from surgical stainless steel, dishwasher safe, and completely functional. It has a sturdy plastic cover that is hand-washable. I use this zester/grater for cold chocolate, hard cheeses, citrus, ginger, and garlic, and it's also perfect for nutmeg and other hard spices. It has a nice comfortable feel in the hand and provides a solid grip. The grate is very sharp and foods wind up properly zested rather than torn or shredded. Using a beautiful, quality tool is so much more fun than making due with an inferior product. I'd certainly buy this again. If you found this review helpful, please click the "yes" button below. Thanks and happy zesting! ... show more

    • The time alone is worth it
Color: Black
Prior to using the Microplane I had only used cheap graters that one would find at places like TJ Maxx for a couple of dollars. Hence I was hesitant about spending over $10 for a grater. After my previous grater broke down though, I decided to pull the trigger and try this item out. Packaging was decent and delivery was fast as expected. For my first use I grabbed a wedge of Parmigiano-Reggiano to garnish a tomato soup I was making. I can still remember that first grate. Smooth, plentiful, and effortless. This may seem like an exaggeration, but for someone who had only used cheap graters it was an eye-opening experience. What would generally take me at least 15-20 grates came out easily from one full swipe of the Microplane. At that point I somewhat forgot about the soup and continued to grate in awe leaving me with much more cheese than I would need. This should give you a general understanding of how please I was with the product. Anyhow, I strongly recommend this grater for its sleek look and undeniable performance! On a side note, I was initially confused by the product numbers of the Microplane, but after a quick look it was clear that the different X's in 46X20 referred to the color of the product. In case anyone is confused as well there's no difference in the product! ... show more

    • Poorly manufactured or knockoff
Color: Black
The blades are nearly parallel with the backing, making them absolutely ineffective at zesting because there is effectively no blade angle. If you push your lemon, ginger, etc. into the blades to get any sort of bite it still doesn't bite, and instead turns it into a mush that is pushed out the reverse side of the grater. I'm not sure if it's a knockoff or if it's a manufacturing defect but in either case the product does not work. I replaced this junk 46020 Premium model with the 38004 Professional model, which works flawlessly. ... show more
