Rasp grater Microplane Zester, stainless steel, beige handle, 35×30×325 mm

The Microplane Zester rasp grater is a stainless-steel kitchen tool with a beige soft-touch handle, sized 35 × 30 × 325 mm for precise micro-zesting and fine grating. Its photo-etched, ultra-sharp blade produces uniform micro-shavings that release aroma and flavour without crushing the ingredient. The compact, elongated shape allows direct grating over dishes and straightforward storage, and the single-piece pack contains one zester ready for home or professional use.

Advantages

The etched stainless-steel blade is exceptionally sharp and creates fine, consistent shavings from citrus zest, hard cheeses, chocolate and spices while minimising pressure and preventing crushing. The ergonomic beige handle offers a secure soft-touch grip and rubber feet help protect work surfaces from scratches. The long, narrow design and non-clogging cutting surface ensure smooth, effortless grating and easy cleaning by removing particles that might otherwise stick to the blade.

Suitable for

• Zesting citrus fruits (lemon, lime, orange)
• Grating hard cheeses and chocolate for garnish
• Fine grating of ginger, garlic, nutmeg and truffle
• Micro-shaving spices and nuts for finishing dishes

How to use

Hold the Microplane Zester by the soft-touch handle and position the blade over the food or plate. Apply gentle, even strokes along the surface of the ingredient so the etched teeth shave thin ribbons or micro-particles. For citrus, grate only the coloured outer peel, avoiding the bitter white pith. For hard cheese and chocolate, move the ingredient along the blade rather than forcing the grater through the food. Rinse or brush off residue after use and dry thoroughly to maintain blade performance.

Usage recommendations

Use light pressure and short, controlled strokes to preserve the sharpness of the blade and to achieve uniform micro-shavings. Store the zester flat or in a drawer sleeve to protect the etched surface. Avoid grating very soft or overly sticky foods that can clog the teeth; if clogging occurs, gently clean the blade with a brush under running water.
