Rasp grater Microplane Zester Green Stainless steel

The Microplane Premium Classic Zester is a long, narrow rasp grater with an ultra-sharp photo-etched stainless-steel blade made in the USA. With 400 micro-teeth it is designed for zesting citrus and for grating hard cheese, chocolate, ginger, garlic, nutmeg, truffle, spices and nuts. The blade cuts precisely without crushing, allowing aroma and flavor to develop while grated food glides across the surface without sticking. The ergonomic soft-touch handle and rubber feet provide a secure grip and protect work surfaces. This version comes in a green stainless-steel finish and measures approximately 35 mm in width and 325 mm in length.

Advantages

The photo-etched stainless-steel blade with 400 micro-teeth gives very fine, consistent results and requires minimal pressure. Foods are sliced cleanly rather than crushed, preserving texture and aroma. The ergonomic soft-touch grip improves handling during repeated use, and the rubber feet reduce slipping and prevent scratches on countertops. The long, narrow shape offers control for precise zesting and grating.

• Zesting citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges)

How to use

Hold the zester by the soft-touch handle and position the blade over the food item. Using light, even strokes, move the food across the etched blade so thin shavings are produced; avoid pressing hard to prevent crushing. For citrus zest, grate only the colored outer peel and avoid the white pith. Clean the blade after use according to the manufacturer’s care instructions to maintain sharpness and hygiene.

Usage recommendations

Use gentle, consistent motion and minimal pressure for best results. Store the zester in a dry place and rinse or hand-wash promptly after use; dry thoroughly to preserve the photo-etched blade. Avoid grating very large or hard items that exceed the blade length to prevent uneven wear.
