Rasp grater Microplane Zester Stainless steel, Yellow — 35×30×325 mm

Microplane Zester Stainless steel, Yellow — 35×30×325 mm is a long, narrow rasp grater with a photo-etched stainless-steel blade and a yellow soft-touch handle. Designed for fine zesting and micro-grating, this tool features an ultra-sharp surface that produces fine, aromatic shavings from citrus, hard cheeses, chocolate, ginger, garlic, nutmeg and other spices. The single-piece construction and lightweight design make it suitable for both home cooks and professional kitchens.

Advantages

The Microplane zester uses a photo-etched stainless-steel blade with very fine cutting edges that shave ingredients without crushing them, allowing essential oils and aromas to be released. Its slim profile and 400 micro-teeth provide precise control and uniform results. The ergonomic soft-touch handle ensures a secure grip during use, while rubber feet protect work surfaces from scratches. Made in the United States, the rasp delivers fast, consistent grating with minimal effort and easy food release from the blade.

How to use

Hold the zester by the soft-touch handle and position the blade over a cutting board or the dish to receive the zest. Apply light, even strokes across the surface of the fruit or ingredient so the micro-teeth shave thin pieces without applying heavy pressure. For citrus, grate only the colored outer peel and avoid the white pith to prevent bitterness. Clean the blade after use by rinsing under running water and brushing away residue; dry thoroughly before storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use gentle, consistent motion and avoid pressing hard; the blade is designed to cut, not crush. Store the rasp in a protective sleeve or a drawer where the blade will not contact other utensils to preserve sharpness. Use on chilled hard cheeses for cleaner grating and room-temperature citrus for maximal aroma release.
