Microplane Classic Series Lemon Zester

This zester is designed specifically for precision tasks like citrus zesting or grating hard cheeses into fine, lacy wisps. Unlike a box grater, which can tear ingredients, the surgical-grade stainless steel blade on this tool cuts through food cleanly to preserve flavor and texture.

Yes, it is excellent for ginger, garlic, and even nutmeg. Because the blade is so sharp, it creates a fine paste or powder that incorporates seamlessly into sauces and dressings.

Yes, the handle is made from a soft-touch TPE plastic that is specifically engineered to be ergonomic and slip-resistant, even when you are working quickly in a busy kitchen.

While the zester is top-rack dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the blade's sharpness over time. Always slide the included protective cover back onto the blade when it is not in use to prevent accidental cuts and protect the teeth from damage.

Absolutely. The end of the tool features non-scratch tabs that allow you to rest the zester securely against the rim of a bowl or plate, keeping it stable while you work.
