Microplane Classic Series Lemon Zester

This zester features a razor-sharp, surgical-grade stainless steel blade designed specifically to cut through food rather than tearing it. This creates finer, more delicate results—like lacy wisps of Parmesan or aromatic citrus zest—that melt into your dishes rather than clumping together.

Absolutely. While it excels at citrus and hard cheeses, the sharp blade is also highly effective for grating ginger, garlic, nutmeg, chocolate, and even hard spices like cinnamon sticks.

Yes, the handle is designed with an ergonomic, soft-touch grip that reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. It provides a secure, non-slip hold even if your hands are slightly damp.

The zester comes with a reusable protective cover. We recommend sliding this cover on immediately after cleaning and drying to protect the blade edges from nicks and to keep your fingers safe when reaching into your utensil drawer.

It includes non-scratch end tabs that act as a stabilizer. These allow you to rest the end of the zester securely against the rim of a bowl or a cutting board, preventing it from sliding while you work.
