Super easy to use and clean. I’ve only had it a few months but we cook a few times a week so it gets used a good amount. It’s a little awkward to hold it but once you find a good spot, it works great.

Great for zesting citrus rinds

Good size zester and very good precise grating and zesting. I use a lot for recipes that call for orange and lemon zest and this one does the job quick and easily!

Great citrus zester

Great design, easy to clean, easy to use without zesting your knuckles!

Love using it for citrus zest and nutmeg

No dislikes. Great product. Like that it has cover.

Jan
What are the pros and cons with a narrow v. wide. I have never used a zester like this and am not sure which to get. Any help? Thanks.

The Deiss PRO lemon zester is 1and 1/2” wide. On lemons and oranges I can easily see the fruit as I zest so I don’t go over the same place. I like that the zest is smaller and finer than what you get with a larger grater.

I have a question what about this plastic material which is covering the grater ?. What is it for ?

I think It’s so u don’t cut yourself handling it. It’s very sharp and also to protect it. It works like a charm for zesting and grating hard cheese. We love it.

Works great, very sharp!

Love this tool works great for cheese nutmegs and zesting citrus very happy with this purchase.

Great microplane

Works super nicely for zesting citrus, grating garlic and ginger.…

Wish I bought this sooner!

Super nice grater…did not own one before purchasing this and I must say the size / variation in grates on either side is perfect for cheese / vegetables / zesting or just about anything else!…

I love this

I'm doing pie now and can very never get a good zest from my lemons and lime. This is constructed well great for big hands like mine and the hole size for the the zest make my pie experience a whole lot of fun.

Great value

…I like the fact that you can use it to grate cheese or zest a lemon.

Made in China?

I don't have the box any longer, so I can't answer that question. But, I can say this is the best grater I've used in 20 years, from grating hard parmesan over pasta to lemon zest on potato salad, it has performed flawlessly.

can it be used as a lemon zester?

There are two smaller graters/scrapers on this boxed grater. I use one as a small cheese grater and the other I have never used. It might be best used for a nutmeg scraper. So I have two lemon/orange zesters. One looks like a longish metal file with small cutting lips in it which works very well. The other is another small hand grater which I use for larger zest pieces. I do love my OXO grater and do not have a Cuisinart grater.

Excellent!

…It is great for grating, zesting and slicing.…

Top quality, built to last and stay sharp for years!

…I've grated raw potatoes and cheese, sliced carrots and zested limes and it's worked like a charm!…

Zest It Up!

Love my zester! I've never had one so this is great to use.

Amazingly Zestful!

Amazingly zestful! …This was so nice; sharp, easy to use and zesting was easy.…

Amy
is the grater effective when using the whole nutmeg, I am a novice with graters?

Absolutely, that's what it's made for. I've used it on whole nutmeg, cinnamon and also zesting lemons.

Can you grate chocolate with this tool?

Yes. You can grate chocolate, cheese, citrus, and probably other things that start with the letter "c" too. Just be aware that it is a pretty fine texture; grating chocolate would be good for garnishing a dessert.

Great new zested, grater

I used it for Parmesan cheese so far. Works great and easy to clean

I am very happy with my purchase

I am very happy with my purchase, works great, thin zesting, blades are sharp. Works great for Parmesan, lemon zest, ginger…very satisfied!

Excellent for citrus

Works like a charm

How sharp is it and does it grate well?

Our graters are very sharp and the ultra-high quality stainless steel will ensure that they stay sharp for at least 4 years with daily use. When it comes to how well our graters work, the sharper the blade the better the grater. Additionally, our ergonomic comfort grip puts you in full control of how you want to grate or zest your produce.

IC
Great zested and loved the value!

…I had an existing “zested/grater”, but wanted something more refined. I make a ton of dishes with citrus zest and this zested is perfect for getting those fine shavings you are after.... This is my new go to zested, and I highly recommend it.…

Will moist orange zest get stuck in the teeth of this zester? my zester has round/star shaped holes that the zest get stuck in!!

I typically use this to grate hard cheeses, but it will definitely zest citrus fruits too. It does not get clogged and it's easy and quick!

Which Microplane zester works best for zesting lemons? Not sure whether to order classic or premium zester. Thanks

I ordered Premium and it is perfect for zesting lemon

FAST and EASY zesting citrus & hard cheese.

Cleans very easily and zests citrus and cheese quickly.

Great micro plane

This microplane is excellent for zesting citrus and for, grating garlic, nutmeg and Parmesan. Glides through citrus skin really easily.

SP
Zest!

Works perfect for zesting fruits.

Is this a good tool for grating fresh ginger and turmeric?

It would work perfectly well for either. And works amazingly well for zesting citrus fruits

Is the rubber 'feet' removable?

Not sure what you mean by "feet", but I can tell you that this is an excellent product. I've had many zesters that just do not "zest", but this one does a great job.

Looking for a new grater? Our kitchen experts bought and tested the top 10 graters available in 2021 and put them through a rigorous side by side comparison to find the very best. We compared cheese shreds and citrus zests to discover the sharpest coarse graters and the best zesters, grating through potatoes, beets, hard cheeses, and more. Our recommendations can help you find the perfect grater for your needs and budget.
The Cuisipro Surface Glide 4-Sided Box Grater is the best grater we’ve found after testing 34 of them over three years.
Graters are sometimes called shredders, choppers or slicers. Their main job is to quickly cut up various foods into smaller pieces without much effort, so they either melt faster in a recipe or are more bite-sized and easier to chew. The two biggest graters on the market are the box grater, which sits firmly on a countertop or a cutting board, and a handheld grater, which can be suspended over a frying pan or plate of food.
