Microplane Yellow Zester/Grater

This zester uses a rasp-style design with razor-sharp, surgical-grade stainless steel teeth. Unlike the larger holes on a box grater, these teeth cut through ingredients cleanly without tearing, which is essential for delicate tasks like zesting citrus or grating fibrous ginger.

Yes, it is excellent for hard cheeses. The sharp blades create a fine, fluffy texture that melts quickly and evenly, making it ideal for garnishing pasta or salads.

The blades are extremely sharp, as they are designed to cut through food with minimal pressure. We recommend using caution when your ingredients get small to avoid contact with your fingers.

The zester measures 12 inches long, 1.3 inches wide, and 1 inch high. Its narrow, elongated shape is designed to be held comfortably in one hand while resting the tip against a cutting board or bowl.

It is highly effective for ginger. The sharp teeth easily process the fibrous root into a fine paste, allowing you to extract the maximum amount of flavor without the woody bits often left behind by standard graters.
