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

  9. DISHWASHER SAFE & EASY CLEANING

    Graters (excluding Master Series) are dishwasher safe. However, to ensure that the blades stay sharp as long as possible, we recommend washing them by hand.

    ADAPTABLE & SAFE PERFORMANCE

    Each product we offer comes equipped with a protective cover for increased longevity and ease of storage. Our hand-held paddle graters feature non-slip rubber feet, offering superior stability.

    EFFORTLESS GRATING EXPERIENCE

    Thanks to the sharpness of our blades, a minimal effort is all it takes for food to glide gently and easily off the blade without needing to apply any pressure.

Zero pith
5 out of 5 stars
Zero pith
I make limoncello. Where peeling just the rind off is a bear and soaking it for a month in vodka is exasperating , zesting with these shallow, shallow grater blades eliminates ALL the pith. It also seems to have infused the vodka completely in 3 days! Photo taken right after adding vodka to orange and lemon zest. Jar on the right is filled with peels. You can see the difference.I always make sure to wear a steel reinforced glove on the hand holding the fruit. Learned that the grater is super sharp the hard way. Be warned.

    Color: Denim BlueVerified Purchase
    The quality is impressive—it’s sharp and high-quality, making zesting a easy. I love that it’s slip-resistant, ensuring I have a solid grip while working, and the design of the grater is great. The surface wraps around a bit, which means there are no dead spots, allowing me to maximize zesting efficiency.
    It’s not just for lemons; I’ve used it for garlic and other ingredients, and it performs every time. The slip-resistant knobs on top are a thoughtful touch, letting me rest the zester on the cutting board without any slipping or rotating.

    While the zester is amazing overall, I do wish the protective sheath was of a higher quality—it could be sturdier. However, considering the performance and build quality, this zester is definitely worth the extra money compared to others on the market. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe, which is a must for easy cleaning.

    If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be to upgrade the protective sheath. Other than that, this lemon zester is a game-changer in my kitchen!

    I can’t say enough good things about this zester! It has truly been a game changer in my kitchen.

    This is ok. It's a bit shorter than my last one. Also has a curve underneath that tends to collect what I'm grinding, I can't decide if I like that feature or not. Very happy with grating parm, but it entirely juiced a shallot.
