Microplane Lime Zester and Parmesan Grater (Green)

Microplane is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process designed to create ultra-sharp grater blades. Made in USA, the tiny, razor-sharp teeth act like finely honed knives, cutting ingredients with precision rather than tearing them. Created as a woodworking tool, the original zester revolutionized grating in 1994 finding enthusiastic support from professional chefs & culinary enthusiasts.

Graters (excluding Master Series) are dishwasher safe. However, to ensure that the blades stay sharp as long as possible, we recommend washing them by hand. Each product we offer comes equipped with a protective cover for increased longevity and ease of storage. Our hand-held paddle graters feature non-slip rubber feet, offering superior stability.

The original, Premium Classic Zester, characteristically long & narrow, features 400 micro-teeth and is perfect for zesting all citrus fruits and grating hard cheese, chocolate, ginger, garlic, nutmeg, truffle, spices, nuts & more. It has an ultra-sharp, photo-etched stainless-steel blade, made in the USA, offering the fastest & most effective way of grating and ensuring a perfect result every time.

Microplane graters and zesters are globally celebrated for their exceptional performance and reliability. Adored by Michelin star and professional chefs, as well as home cooks, these kitchen tools are truly indispensable for outstanding creations. Our signature grating blades are proudly manufactured in Russellville, Arkansas, USA. Assembly of our graters happen in our own specialized factory in Mexico, guaranteeing unwavering attention to detail and excellence.

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 ginger and garlic into a minced paste to flavor many popular foods. Create ground spices from whole hard cinnamon or nutmeg. Use to shave a cork down to fit back into a bottle or even scrape off burnt or dark spots from cookies, scones, and toast. The possibilities are endless.

Microplane uses photo-etched technology to make ultra-sharp grating blades right here in America! Made of surgical grade stainless steel, this material stays rust-free and maintains sharpness over time. 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.
