Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester 18/8, Black - Lemon Zester & Cheese Grater & Vegetable Grater - Citrus, Parmesan Cheese, Garlic, Ginger, Nutmeg, Chocolate - Stainless Steel Grater

I really like this zester. I have only used it so far for cheese, lemon peel, and garlic. It did a nice job on all three items. The blades are very sharp and it is very easy to clean. I especially like the protective cover. The handle is a good length and comfortable to hold. It is a nice size. My previous zester was shorter and fatter and I like this longer thin one better. I have been placing the tester across my pan or dish to use so cannot speak of slip resistance. It seems to be well made so I expect to be using it for several years at least. Update: My daughter saw mine and wanted one just like it. Purchased for her Christmas stocking in a color to match her kitchen!

My husband and I love using this new tool in the kitchen! It is SO much easier now to grate cheese over pasta dishes, grate lemon zest, etc., and cleanup is a breeze. It’s a heavy-duty, high-quality item, and I love the sleek-looking white handle. It has a great cover for the blades when not in use. We much prefer this to larger cheese graters and are extremely happy with our purchase. We decided to get one after taking a pasta class and seeing the chef using one; we wish we’d gotten this years ago!

Great product. I wish I had purchased sooner. Tip: a toothbrush works great to clean stuck on food.

The best microplane I have ever used. Don't buy cheap microplanes. This one is perfect. I have used it for citrus zest, cheese, nutmeg, and other items of various consistencies. It grates them all with ease and holds its sharpness after many uses. Very durable, great size, and the rubber handle makes it great in the hand as far as grip goes.

Wirecutter recommended. Sounded good, IS wonderful. I zest a lot of oranges and lemons, and this is so much easier, faster, neater, easy to clean up from. It doesn't put hardly any smells and spray into the air. Instead it is saved in the fine shavings. Absolutely a go-to item if you zest. Also excellent shaving hard cheese for pasta and sauce. Much easier to use and easier to clean than the grinder I used before.

This is the second Microplane I’ve purchased—the first one for myself and the second as a gift—because it’s just that good. It’s extremely sharp, which makes zesting citrus effortless and gives you light, fluffy parmesan shavings without any struggle. The blade glides smoothly, doesn’t clog, and feels sturdy and well-made. If you cook or bake regularly, this is one of those tools you’ll reach for constantly. Highly recommend.

Works very well. Perfect for lemons, will work on hard cheeses but is narrow. Easy to clean once you pull off shreds.

This gadget is a game-changer for those who like to add citrus flavor to baked goods or other edibles. It is easy to use, clean, and keep safely tucked away in a sleeve to prevent the tiny blades from grating unintended surfaces. Bought two of them, one for self and one for a son who cooks.
