This Is a Great Microplane for Zesting Lemons, Grating Ginger, Cheese, Garlic, Etc.

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2022

When I purchased this, I questioned the expense... I simply wasn't sure it was worth it. However, now that I have it, and have used it, I'd say it is completely worth it! First, it's very well constructed: the handle is very comfortable to hold, and the blade portion is sharp, and does a great job of grating foods (yeah, as with any other grater, you have to be careful!). I love the fact that the handles come in a variety of colors! Seems such a simple thing, but I like having utensils that look as good as they function! Like almost everything I buy, this utensil is dishwasher safe. When purchasing this grater, I did not notice it comes with a sheath / sleeve for storing! What a great idea! Keeps my grater from potentially getting banged around in my storage drawer, and possibly damaging its sharpness! The length of the grater is perfect, allowing for a good amount of grating surface, making your grating much more effective (more grating surface makes for faster, easier grating, if you take advantage of the overall grating surface!). It's so easy to hold the microplane in one hand, while grating / zesting, and turning a lemon around in the other. I highly recommend this microplane.

OK while it lasted...

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2023

I purchased this microplane 2 years ago. The first year it was fine. After 1 year's use a 2" section of the tip bent at a 30 degree angle' and cracked the plastic frame. Within the next couple of months the plastic support rim separated, leaving the aluminum bare edge exposed and dangerous. I used this item frequently, however it was not abused. I would not purchase again.

The Best for Zesting Lemons

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023

Color: YellowVerified Purchase

I have purchased so many zesters over the years and none of them were great at zesting lemons or oranges for me. I even have a separate zester attachment for a $200 mandoline slicer that is not very effective at zesting lemons. Frustrated, I watched America's test kitchen to see what they were recommending. They rated this product the best in the zester category. I decided to take the plunge, and give this one a try. They were spot on with their recommendation of this product. It does a great job grating the skin of lemons. The teeth are very sharp and fine. The product itself is very sturdy with heft. Because it is well constructed, the product is economical. I do not think I will be needing to purchase any other grater for years to come. It has made the task of zesting lemons easy for me. It is so much better than any of the other lemon zesters I have tried using over the years.

Before purchasing this item, I had been regulated to using a sharp knife to remove the peel, and then I would scrape the white bitter part from the underside of the peel, and then finely chop the peel; a very time consuming process. This gadget has saved me so much time. It is a kitchen must have for any serious bakers.

Ideal tool

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2023

Color: GreenVerified Purchase

Works great. Very ergonomic. Love the color selection. Easy to use and clean. Built very well. Zests much more quickly and accurately than a box grater. Pro tip, when zesting a fruit, hold the fruit in your hand and put the plane on top. You can see which part of the skin you haven't hit yet and the zest will collect inside of the tool.

Great microplane

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024

Color: EggplantVerified Purchase

Works well on Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, nutmeg, peeled ginger, frozen butter, etc. You do need to scrape some of the grated product that stays on the underside when done. Have had these for years with no decline in quality and never cut myself. Dishwasher safe. We use these enough to want two and just got a new one when our second one went missing.

Never had one of these, but have wanted one for a while. First time I used it for a recipe that called for lemon zest I was blown away. Works so well, easy to clean and comes with a nice cover for storage.

Amazing! Easy to use and very effective!

I’m not a super experienced zester, but if you never zest citrus or rely on a box grater, this thing will change your life. It’s so easy and super efficient. It easily gets all the zest off the fruit without getting any of the bitter pith. It’s quick and easy and, when paired with a juicer, it will revolutionise your use of lemons and limes. It also can be used to easily grate cheese or spices. The cleaning concerns mentioned in other reviews are real, but not that big a deal. I recommend rinsing it and giving it a light wash immediately after using. I haven’t had any issues with it and highly recommend this to anyone looking to up their cooking game with some zest.

Great product for Zesting. Biggest complaint is it's hard to clean due to the shape of the zester.

The Best Zester You Will Ever Find Or Use

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024

Color: EggplantVerified Purchase

I've bought and tried many brands all with sad results. I finally Googled what was the top zester professional chef's loved and this was the top one recommended. I found it on Amazon and was totally surprised since I had already searched Amazon and this did not come up in the first few pages. AMAZON get your act together and put this zester as the first one you show to buyers and you will get more sells!!!!!! This is the best I have ever used. I got more zest, it cleans well, it comes in many color choices and I love it.

Fantastic little tool that I use for garlic, citrus, and anything else I need to be shredded as tiny as possible. Pro tip, rinse off immediately after use, anything you shred that gets stuck in the holes is a nightmare if it dries.
