A Microplane Premium Classic Zester/Grater in Pomegranate Red does the same work as the black original and adds a color that is easy to find in a crowded utensil drawer. It is part of Microplane’s Urban color range, with a soft-touch handle and non-scratch end caps.The blade carries about 400 photo-etched teeth, according to Microplane, each sharpened to slice. Use it to zest a lime over tacos, grate Pecorino over cacio e pepe, or turn a clove of garlic into paste for a vinaigrette. The end caps let you rest it across a bowl and grate without scratching the rim.A red zester also makes a sensible gift for a cook who has everything but a good zester. It pairs well with a Microplane Gourmet Series Fine Grater for cooks who want a wider blade for cheese.For the same zester in other colors, or the hard-handled Classic Zester/Grater, see the comparison in the Details.
