Classic Series Zester Grater - Black

Details

The Industry Standard for Precision Zesting and Grating

The Microplane Classic Series Zester is a top-selling kitchen essential, originally inspired by professional woodworking tools. This heavy-duty model is specifically engineered to transform the hardest ingredients, such as Parmesan Reggiano, into fine, lacy wisps. Featuring a high-performance surgical-grade stainless steel blade manufactured in the USA, it provides the fastest and most effective method for adding fresh, intense flavor to pasta, salads, and desserts.

The design utilizes proprietary photo-etched technology to create a razor-sharp grating surface that cuts through food precisely without crushing or tearing. This ensures that the natural essential oils and aromas of citrus fruits are fully released, making it a premier choice for zesting lemons, limes, and oranges. The narrow, rasp-style profile allows for effortless handling and targeted application directly over dishes or mixing bowls.

This model features a durable, hard plastic ergonomic handle, providing a secure and comfortable grip that many professional users prefer over all-stainless versions. The rust-resistant construction and professional-grade materials ensure the tool maintains its edge and structural integrity through heavy daily use. This zester is a fundamental tool for any culinary environment, combining 25 years of engineering with proven chef-level performance.
