Premium Classic Series Zester Grater, 18/8, Black - Lemon Zester, Cheese Grater & Vegetable Grater

From the brand, the Microplane Premium Classic Zester is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process designed to create ultra-sharp grater blades. Made in the 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 and culinary enthusiasts.

The Microplane Premium Classic Zester, characteristically long and narrow, revolutionized grating due to its ultra-sharp, photo-etched stainless-steel blade - also made in the USA. 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 and ensures a perfect result every time.

The graters (excluding Master Series) are dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to wash them by hand to ensure the blades stay sharp as long as possible. Each product comes equipped with a protective cover for increased longevity and ease of storage, and the hand-held paddle graters feature non-slip rubber feet, offering superior stability.

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. The ultra-sharp blade provides superior, precise, and effortless cutting performance, with no tearing or ripping, producing a very delicate, fine grating result. The ergonomic soft-touch handle ensures comfort while grating, and the wide range of colors brings elegant beauty to every kitchen decor and design.

To get the best grating result, simply glide the ingredient effortlessly over the blade without applying pressure, which prevents tearing or shredding and ensures perfect results every time, while also minimizing the risk of accidents from exerting too much pressure. The zester blade (grater) is perfect for all citrus fruits, hard cheese, chocolate, ginger, garlic, nutmeg, truffle, spices, nuts, and more - basically, for all foods that need to be grated finely.

To clean the zester grater, give the blades a tap on a cutting board or workspace to knock off any food bits, then rinse it under water and let it air dry, which helps keep food from drying on the blade, making it much easier to clean later. 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, making them truly indispensable for outstanding culinary creations.

The signature grating blades are proudly manufactured in Russellville, Arkansas, USA, while the assembly of the graters happens in the company's specialized factory in Mexico, guaranteeing unwavering attention to detail and excellence.
