Rasp grater Microplane Zester 35×30×325 mm, stainless steel, anthracite/grey

Microplane Zester is an original, handheld stainless-steel rasp grater (35 × 30 × 325 mm) with an ultra-sharp photo-etched blade made in the USA. Its slim profile and 400 micro-teeth produce consistent, very fine zest and shavings suitable for citrus peel, hard cheese, chocolate, ginger, garlic, nutmeg, truffle, spices and nuts. The rasp cuts ingredients cleanly without crushing, allowing aromas to develop and delivering even results for professional and home kitchens.

Advantages

The photo-etched stainless-steel blade features 400 micro-teeth that cut precisely with minimal pressure, preventing food from sticking to the cutting edges. The ergonomic soft-touch grip provides a secure hold while rubber feet protect work surfaces from scratches. The slim, single-piece design yields fast, efficient grating and uniform fine shavings for cooking, baking, garnishing and finishing dishes.

Suitable for

• Finely zesting citrus fruits (lemon, lime, orange)
• Grating hard cheeses for garnishes and sauces
• Creating fine chocolate shavings for desserts
• Grating ginger, garlic and whole spices
• Preparing truffle and nutmeg for finishing touches

How to use

Hold the Microplane Zester at a slight angle above the work surface with the rubber feet resting or the handle gripped securely. Move the ingredient across the blade using light, even strokes; do not press hard—allow the micro-teeth to cut cleanly. For citrus zest, grate only the colored outer peel and avoid the bitter white pith. Clean the rasp after use under running water or with a soft brush to remove fine particles, then dry thoroughly.

Usage recommendations

Use gentle, consistent strokes and minimal downward force to obtain the finest zest and shavings; for best results grate away from your fingers and rinse the blade promptly after use to maintain cutting performance.
