Microplane Classic Zester Grater, Black
Description
The blade is designed with a specific tooth set that takes
the flavorful rind directly off the citrus fruit, while leaving behind the
bitter white pith. Zest adds flavor to vinaigrettes, stir fries, salads, and
baked goods! Grate Cheese: Grate parmesan into fluffy mounds that melt quickly
and look beautiful when treating yourself of family to rustic bowls of pasta.
Sprinkle fresh parmesan over eggs, salads, or any dish for a burst of flavor.
Surgical Grade Stainless Steel: this material stays rust-free and maintains
sharpness over time. True stainless steel is magnetic, so this item can be
hung on your magnetic knife strip. Dishwasher Safe: The tool is easy to clean,
simply rinse immediately after use. Use a kitchen brush on the underside of
the blade to clean out tough to reach particles. The zester/grater can also be
placed in the dishwasher. This tool is normally used to grate citrus for
perfect lemon, lime, and orange zests or to create pillowy mounds of Parmesan
cheese. Microplane Premium Classic Zester Graters A versatile must-have tool
for the kitchen! This tool is normally used to grate citrus for perfect lemon,

However, it is also a great tool for grating spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and
even chilies into fresh ground powders. If your dish requires fresh grated
ginger or garlic, this tool will do that job as well. Customers have let us
know that they even use this tool to remove burnt edges from cookies and
bread. What will you use it for? What is the difference between Original
Classic and Premium Classic? The Premium Classic Zester Grater by Microplane
provides a soft touch handle, instead of hard plastic. In addition this line
provides a choice of handle colors. You can expect the same grating or zesting
experience with either tool. Why is Sharper Better? Food is grated or zested
without ripping or tearing which improves the look of the final dish Food is
grated or zested without bruising which improves flavor and aroma Less
pressure is required while grating – making the task faster and more efficient
What makes Microplane so sharp? Microplane Blade Enlarged 50x View larger Do
Chef’s use Microplane? The Microplane is the standard for sharp, efficient
grating and zesting in both home and professional kitchens – just ask any chef
if they use a Microplane! Dining out anywhere will usually lead to a
Microplane sighting. Photo-etching and surgical grade stainless steel
Microplane began using this signature technology in the 1990’s. Most tools use
stamped or cut metal. Photo-etching creates a much finer point, which means
your Microplane digs in and performs better. For fluffy, evenly
sized cheese shreds, this is the perfect grater. Its design is based on that
of a rasp, the small and efficient woodworking tool. The cutters are
especially sharp, which guarantees easy grating. But this also means you’ll
need to exercise extra caution–no one likes grated knuckles. The large handle
allows for a firm grip, and the completely flat grating surface makes it easy
to move the cheese across the blades. Carrots, onions, and medium to firm
cheeses all worked beautifully with this grater. It’s also an excellent choice
for larger strips of citrus zest or ginger. –Jill Lightner
