What's in the box
From the manufacturer
Microplane Premium Classic Zester Graters
A versatile must-have tool for the kitchen!
This tool is normally used to grate citrus for perfect lemon, lime, and orange zests or to create pillowy mounds of parmesan cheese. 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?
Do Chef's use Microplane?
The Microplane is the standard for sharp, efficient grating and zesting in both home and professional kitchens - 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 1990s. Most tools use stamped or cut metal. Photo-etching creates a much finer point, which means your Microplane digs in and performs better.
Made in USA blades
The photo-etching process takes place in Russellville, Arkansas; the grating blades for zesters are all made in the USA.
Many Different Colors to Choose from!
The Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester comes in a variety of different colors to match any preference and compliment any kitchen!

Thin cut means less pith when zesting.
Easy to use on a plate because of folded/bent sides.
Silicone caps on end prevent slipping
Clear, snap on cover
Comfortable handle
Fluffy, fine cheese grated
Cons:
Thin cut means use takes longer.
Not the easiest rasp to clean.
Water may seep into handle at the connection with grater
May be difficult to wash the bottom/ inside because of the bend
Cost prohibitive compared to competition.
Bent sides have grates too, which feel more dangerous than helpful.
I preferred the Ourok Home grater over this because it was easier to clean and had a better price. It also felt a little safer to use than this one.

No more. With this fabulous grater (or my other microplanes) I can keep my fresh ginger frozen in a zip lock and take out, grate as needed...even frozen...and replace in freezer. Repeat. WHY didn't anyone tell me this before?

I use 2 all during service, one for parmesan and one for lime zest and nutmeg etc. Their compact size makes them ideal when adding finishing touches to a dish. Great build quality and a ergonomic handle that makes frequent use a doddle.
Highly recommended for the home gamer or professional chef.
Pro Chef tip. When zesting fruit, invert the microplane and draw it across the skin of the fruit. This means the zest is collected in the "U" shaped channel and you can see how much zest is being removed, as opposed to rubbing the fruit over the plane. It makes a HUGE difference 👨🍳
