The Microplane Classic Zester is designed with an ultra-sharp, stainless steel blade that effectively grates citrus zest and spices, among other ingredients. It produces a fine, fluffy grating result that releases and enhances flavors. Grating is done with precision and minimal effort, making it perfect for citrus fruits, ginger, garlic, hard cheeses, chocolate, nutmeg, truffles, and more.
It is dishwasher safe, but to maintain its sharpness, hand washing is recommended.
