Microplane All-Stainless Steel Lemon Zester Tool, Blade made in the USA

When these first came out and chefs raved about them, I bought one, loved it, and started buying them as gifts: they are light and take no space in a suitcase so brought them to friends when traveling. They always become their favorite kitchen item too. I like these handle-less ones as I will rest them across the top of a bowl when grating. They just need a quick rinse and dry quickly. Great product.

I prefer the full length microplanes for professional work, easy to get full use of citrus and long strokes of cheese. Hands down best wy to go when looking for new microplanes.

Works great and price is right and made in USA.

This zester replaced another one I had. It was no black handle so it cleans well and does not put pieces in my recipe.

Works well. Good quality

Microplane graters are terrific, full stop.I own two others with black plastic handles, which I use constantly (for citrus zest, garlic, ginger, butter, cheese, etc.); but the chunky handles take up drawer space, so this model seemed the perfect spare for when the other two were in the dishwasher. (Hey, I cook a lot.)Unfortunately, the protective cover curled up lengthwise in the dishwasher, becoming too narrow and extremely tight, such that, if you are able to force the grater into the cover, the grater's sides actually slice into the plastic guide rails, creating plastic shavings. The covers on the other two that I own are constructed differently of heavier weight plastic and have been through the dishwasher countless times with no such problem, but I should not have assumed this cover would be the same.Please don't make the same mistake I did: HAND WASH THE COVER. The product description for this model is careful to say that the grater, itself (no mention of the cover), can be washed in the dishwasher, so it isn't as if couldn't have known.👉 Note to Microplane: absolutely would be ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ with a dishwasher safe cover that retained its shape.

Bought my first at a garage sale for next to nothing. After using it once, I threw away my old zester which was awful. Have since gifted it to quite a few friends and family members. In addition to zesting citrus, which it does beautifully, it's also good for finely shredding hard cheeses like Parmesan and for grating garlic.

I don't often write reviews, but this thing inspired me to. I read other reviews that said they didn't miss the handle, so I took a chance. I admit that it required a little creativity to figure out the best grip for my hand personally, but the joyful part came when I slid a fresh chunk of pecorino romano down the length of this very sharp tool to then watch the snowfall of fine, soft cheese float down to the waiting porcelain collection dish. So easy, so efficient.And made in America, baby! Excellent quality. I might actually score a bunch for Christmas prezzies...
