Rasp grater Microplane Master Zester — stainless steel blade, 39×15×310 mm, brown/silver

Microplane Master Zester is a handheld rasp-style grater with a stainless steel blade and an oiled walnut-inspired brown handle, designed for precise zesting and fine grating. With overall dimensions of 39 × 15 × 310 mm, the tool provides a long working surface and a slim profile that makes it easy to control when removing citrus zest or finely grating hard ingredients. The made-in-USA stainless steel blade features very sharp, etched teeth that deliver uniform results without tearing or bruising delicate ingredients.

Advantages

The Master Zester combines a corrosion-resistant stainless steel blade with an ergonomically shaped brown handle to improve grip and comfort during repeated use. Its razor-sharp teeth produce consistent, ultra-fine shavings ideal for extracting only the aromatic outer layer of citrus while avoiding the bitter pith. The length and slim width of the tool allow stable, even strokes and easier handling for both domestic and professional kitchen tasks.

Suitable for

• Zesting lemons, limes, oranges and other citrus fruits
• Finely grating hard cheeses such as Parmesan
• Grating chocolate for garnishes and baking
• Grating garlic, ginger, nutmeg and whole spices

• Handle: brown oiled-wood aesthetic for comfortable grip
• Overall dimensions: 39 mm (width) × 15 mm (depth) × 310 mm (length)
• Style: handheld rasp/zester with long working surface

How to use

Hold the Master Zester by the handle and place the blade at a shallow angle to the surface of the fruit or ingredient. Use light, even strokes away from your hand to remove only the colored layer of citrus peel, or to create fine shavings of cheese, chocolate, garlic or spices. Clean the blade after use by rinsing under warm water and, if necessary, using a brush to remove trapped particles. Dry thoroughly to maintain the blade finish and prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, zest over a bowl to collect fine shavings and avoid applying excessive pressure that could reach the bitter white pith. For hard cheeses and chocolate, use steady, controlled passes; for fibrous items like ginger, a slightly steeper angle may improve contact. Store the zester in a drawer or protective sleeve to preserve razor-sharp teeth.
