Microplane Premium Classic Zester/Grater, Sky Blue

The Sky Blue Microplane Premium Classic Zester/Grater handles the small jobs that make a dish taste finished, such as lemon zest over fish or a cloud of Parmigiano over risotto. Its fine stainless steel blade is made in the USA and sharp enough to do each in a few strokes.

Citrus fruits, hard cheese, ginger, chocolate and nutmeg all grate cleanly on the etched teeth. The soft-touch handle gives a secure grip with wet hands, and rubber feet keep the zester steady when it rests across a bowl.

Home cooks tend to prefer this soft handle over the hard-handled Classic Zester/Grater, which professional kitchens choose because it is easier to sanitize. For grating larger amounts of cheese, the Gourmet Series Fine Grater has a wider paddle.

The cover slides over the blade for storage, which protects both the teeth and the hand reaching into a drawer.

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.
