Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Microplane 35019 Home Series Black Fine Ribbon
Customer Review: Those schizophrenic Microplane people produce the best zester ever, with flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
This particular grater is good at several things, but it is also in particular the finest zester ever made: hold the fruit in your off-hand and grate away on top of it with your good hand: the zest quickly and conveniently collects on the back of the blade. But even better: you can watch the grated area of the fruit slowly change from skin colour to white, so you know exactly when to stop before you start to get into the bitter pith.
An added bonus with the fine ribbon grater is that you can give it to your five year-old and have him do the job knowing that he cannot possibly injure himself. Oh, it's remotely possible he could hurt himself, sure, but one of the best early lessons I learned about child-rearing is that it's not our job to stop them getting hurt: we just have to stop them getting injured.
It's impossible to give a proper star rating to this particular grater, though, because the entire Microplane Home Series should be avoided like the plague because of the poor-quality, brittle, transparent plastic the frames are made of. The natural way to get the zest off the grater is to bang it on the edge of a bowl; unfortunately that's also the best way to shorten its life and ensure that your guests discover sharp-edged transparent, glass-like shards in their food.
I no longer own any Home Series graters, and Microplane currently doesn't make a fine ribbon in their Professional or Gourmet lines, so this one is unfortunately the only game in town at the moment. I was lucky enough to get an enormous job-lot of seconds and discontinueds directly from the Microplane site, and it happily included a Pro model of this one (with several different, replaceable blades: a brilliant design). Hopefully they'll reintroduce it, but in the meantime just go easy on this one.
