Microplane Premium Classic Zester/Grater, Pomegranate Red

Microplane Premium Classic Zester/Grater, Pomegranate Red

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.

Choosing a Microplane Zester

All of these use the same photo-etched, US-made Microplane blade. Our answer page on what makes Microplane graters different explains how the etched teeth cut.

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.
