Microplane Stainless Steel Lemon Zester

Revised Content:

A true American original, the Microplane zester has become a must-have tool among professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts. Its iconic long and narrow, rasp-style design, which originated in the woodshop, makes it the perfect tool for zesting lemons, limes, and other citrus, as well as grating parmesan and other hard cheeses. The versatile zester can also be used for grating whole spices, ginger, and garlic.

The design of the zester is based on that of a rasp, a small and efficient woodworking tool. The ultra-sharp cutters, created using Microplane's Photo-Etched technology, guarantee easy grating. However, this sharpness also requires extra caution to avoid grated knuckles. The flat grating surface makes it easy to move the fruit across the blades, while the rounded edges allow you to set the zester on top of a bowl and grate directly into it. The tiny size of the individual shreds means you won't need to do any additional chopping.

The zester's blade is designed with a specific tooth set that takes the flavorful rind directly off the citrus fruit, leaving behind the bitter white pith. This allows you to easily zest citrus for use in vinaigrettes, stir-fries, salads, and baked goods, adding a burst of flavor.

When grating cheese, the Microplane zester creates fluffy mounds of parmesan that melt quickly and look beautiful when topping pasta dishes. The fresh parmesan can also be sprinkled over eggs, salads, or any other dish for an extra flavor boost.

Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, this zester is rust-free and maintains its sharpness over time. The magnetic material allows it to be conveniently stored on a magnetic knife strip. Additionally, the zester comes with a protective cover for safe storage.

Cleaning the Microplane zester is a breeze. Simply rinse it immediately after use, and use a kitchen brush to clean out any tough-to-reach particles. The zester is also dishwasher-safe, making it easy to maintain.

Overall, the Microplane zester is a versatile and high-quality tool that elevates the cooking experience for both professionals and home cooks alike.
