Classic Zester/Grater
Ultra-sharp grater that creates fine citrus zest for freezing, plus grates ginger, garlic, and hard cheeses
About
Ultra-sharp stainless steel grater originally designed for woodworking, now the gold standard for citrus zesting. Creates fine, fluffy zest that freezes perfectly and releases maximum flavor.
How It Works
The Microplane uses photo-etched stainless steel blades that are incredibly sharp and cut rather than tear. Run citrus across the blade to remove just the colorful zest, leaving behind the bitter white pith. The razor-sharp teeth create fine, fluffy zest that releases oils and flavor better than coarser graters.
Citrus zest freezes beautifully and retains its bright flavor for months. Zest lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits when they're fresh, spread on a parchment-lined tray, flash freeze, then transfer to freezer bags. Having frozen zest on hand means you can add bright citrus flavor to recipes year-round. The Microplane also excels at grating ginger, garlic, hard cheeses, and nutmeg.
