Microplane Citrus Tool

No, the surgical-grade stainless steel blade is designed specifically to remove only the flavorful outer zest. It glides over the surface to capture the oils without digging into the bitter white pith underneath.

The tool features two integrated garnishing blades of different diameters at the end of the handle. You simply press the blade into the citrus peel and pull to score a clean, decorative strip or twist for your drinks and garnishes.

Yes, the updated design features an extended, soft-touch ergonomic handle. This provides better leverage, which reduces the amount of effort needed and keeps your hand comfortable during repetitive tasks.

Yes, it includes a reusable protective cover. This is essential for keeping the fine blade sharp and protecting your fingers when reaching into a kitchen drawer.

While it is optimized for citrus, the fine 18/8 stainless steel blade can also be used for grating hard cheeses like Parmesan or spices like nutmeg. However, it is not intended for soft foods or large-volume grating.

While the tool is durable, we recommend hand washing the blade to maintain its sharpness over time. The plastic handle and body are generally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is the best way to ensure the longevity of the fine grating teeth.
