Microplane Premium Classic Zester/Grater, White

Pastry kitchens and home bakers zest a great deal of citrus, and the white Microplane Premium Classic Zester/Grater is easy to keep in sight on a floured bench. It is the same rasp as the black Premium Classic, with a soft-touch white handle.

The etched teeth lift only the colored part of a lemon or orange peel, which carries the oils that flavor a curd, a pound cake or a glaze. Draw the fruit across the blade and turn it as the color comes away. The fine teeth also grate whole nutmeg into eggnog and shave hard cheese over pasta.

A second zester in a different color is a practical way to keep flavors apart. Reserve one for citrus and chocolate and another for garlic and ginger, so a lemon tart never picks up the smell of last night’s stir-fry.

Home cooks tend to prefer this soft handle. For a hard handle that is easier to sanitize, choose the Classic Zester/Grater with Hard Black Handle. The Details compare the zesters and list every color.

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.
