## Description

Review: A Perfect Gift That My Wife Absolutely Loved - I purchased this as one of the longtime items on my wife’s wishlist, and it turned out to be a fantastic gift. She was genuinely excited after receiving it and has been very happy with it ever since. Sometimes the best gifts are the practical items someone has wanted for a long time, and this was exactly that kind of purchase. The quality feels excellent. It is sharp, sturdy, and well made, with the kind of simple professional design that makes you immediately understand why it is so popular. It works beautifully for citrus zesting, cheese, garlic, and other kitchen tasks. My wife especially appreciates how effortless it is to use compared with cheaper graters. It produces fine, consistent results quickly and makes cooking feel easier and more enjoyable. The handle is comfortable, the stainless steel feels durable, and it cleans up easily after use. Most importantly, she truly loved it, which made this purchase a big success for me. Overall, a high-quality kitchen tool and an excellent gift idea for anyone who enjoys cooking. Five stars.
Review: There comes a time...... - There comes a time in the life of any preparer of meals be it a gourmet chef or home cook when one wants to buy the best kitchen tools they can afford. Sure we can zest some orange peel off with a box grater and grate that ginger, chocolate and parmesan cheeses with the same box grater's oversized holes, and use the resulting chunky bits in our food. Will there be a difference in the taste of the dish? Some would say no, and some would beg to differ. I believe it's a matter of knowing when we are using the best tools for the job, and this Premium Microplane zester/grater IS the best tool. The handle is about 4 1/2" long with a very soft, comfortable feel. The sturdy, heavy grater blade is about 8" long, and yes, very sharp if you rub your finger up on the grating surface towards the end. It feels smooth moving back downward towards the handle. Therefore, it only grates and zests with the up (towards the end) motion, not in both directions. The holes are very thin and so are the tiny blades. This creates a very fine powdery parmesan, chocolate and ginger, and tiny flavorful zest from your citrus. You do not need to press hard when you zest/grate. Use a light touch. Too hard and you will get into the pithy bitter white area of your citrus, and possibly crumble your cheese and chocolate. Maybe even dull the tiny blades. The sides are curved under, and the tips are covered with black silicone to prevent scratches if you lean the end on a table to use, or set it down on a table. Best to use it over a bowl without leaning on anything. Trust me, it's not heavy. Be gentle and don't rush when zesting. and grating. You're not a TV chef with a 30 minute show and audience to impress. Of course you'll cut your fingers if you "speed zest". Again, this is very sharp! When you're ready, simply rap the zester on the edge of your bowl or cutting board to dislodge the zest, cheese, fresh ginger or chocolate from the underside. Rinse with a strong stream of water in the sink, or swish in a bowl of water. No need to put it in the dishwasher. Have you ever tried to re-fold a map? That is the same type of experience you will have when you attempt to (slowly and carefully) slide the plastic protective cover back on the Microplane. It is shaped exactly like the Microplane, and very sturdy, with inwardly curved sides and, well, not that easy to get back on. Do put it back on though so no kitchen "dust" will get on it. Treat yourself to this fine zester and you will really be doing your special culinary creations (and even your humble meat loaf) a flavor- favor! There is no comparison between artificial tasting flavor extracts and real zest. The real flavor of freshly grated parmesan, and ginger will be very apparent also. Let us not forget how good that freshly grated chocolate will be on ice cream (home made of course!.) P.S. the blade is made in the USA. Happy cooking!

## Features

- ZEST CITRUS: The blade is designed with a specific tooth set that takes the flavorful rind directly off the citrus fruit, while leaving behind the bitter white pith. Zest adds flavor to vinaigrettes, stir fries, salads, and baked goods! Change your life, with a little zest!
- 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best graters on the market.
*by K***R on September 15, 2026*

I have been using Microplane products since they first came out. Their products are sharp, durable, and useful. I have bought a couple of graters from different brands, and they just do not hold up as long and don't stay sharp like the Microplane products do.
