Microplane Premium Classic Zester/Grater, Mustard Yellow

Mustard Yellow is one of the Urban colors Microplane offers on its Premium Classic Zester/Grater, the soft-handled rasp that home cooks reach for to zest a lemon or grate a clove of garlic. Under the color, the zester is identical to the black original.

Fresh ginger is a good test of a rasp. Fibers clog a dull or stamped grater, but etched teeth slice across them and leave a smooth paste behind. Peel the ginger with the edge of a spoon, then grate it across the blade with light pressure, and tap the paste out of the curved back of the zester.

The same zester handles nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, hard cheese and chocolate. A bright handle stays visible on the counter, which helps keep the blade from being knocked into a sink of dishes.

Professional kitchens may prefer the Classic Zester/Grater with Hard Black Handle, whose hard handle is easier to sanitize. The table in the Details compares the zesters.

Tips for Best Results

For citrus, draw the fruit across the blade in one direction and turn it as the colored peel comes away, stopping before the white pith.
Turn the zester over to measure: zest and cheese collect in the curved back of the blade.

Care

Microplane rates the zester dishwasher safe; rinsing under running water right after use is usually enough.
Brush the blade from the back to clear trapped zest or cheese. Wiping across the teeth catches the cloth.
Slide the cover back on before the zester goes into a drawer.
