Microplane Zester Grater

The Black Sheep series features an all-black, matte stainless steel construction that offers a sleek, modern aesthetic compared to the traditional silver finish. Functionally, it retains the same high-performance, photo-etched blade technology that Microplane is known for.

Yes, this tool is dishwasher safe. However, to keep the blade sharp for as long as possible, we recommend hand-washing it with warm water and a brush.

This zester is designed for fine grating. It excels at zesting citrus, grating hard cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino, and finely mincing aromatics like ginger, garlic, and nutmeg.

The matte finish is durable, but like any coated kitchen tool, it can show wear over time if subjected to abrasive scrubbers. Using the included protective cover when storing it in a drawer will help maintain the finish and protect the blade.

Absolutely. The rubberized foot provides necessary grip, allowing you to rest the end of the zester securely against a cutting board or the rim of a bowl without it sliding away while you work.
