Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Microplane Grater/Zester
Customer Review: I'll never buy grated Parmesan again
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this grater/zester for two reasons. Firstly, I forgot where I put my other grater and feared I'd accidentally gifted it to someone after a dinner party. Secondly, I absolutely needed to drop some finely grated Parmesan onto a plate of spaghetti with a particularly tasty meat sauce. It seems I'd found myself in an unannounced and unspoken meat sauce competition. This little gizmo helped me raise the bar. I'm still waiting to see who out does me and how.
Yes, it works for other stuff like lemon/orange/whatever zest too. It cleans up fairly easily. It's a good kitchen tool over all.
Description of Microplane Grater/Zester
Microplane, Zester Grater, With Patented Surgical Grade Stainless Steel Razor Sharp Teeth & Comfortable Santaprene Handle, Non-Clogging Teeth, Dishwasher Safe, Grating Area 8" x 1", Overall Length 12", Overall Width 1-5/16", For Grating & Zesting.
For fluffy, evenly sized cheese shreds, this is the perfect grater. Its design is based on that of a rasp, the small and efficient woodworking tool. The cutters are especially sharp, which guarantees easy grating. But this also means you'll need to exercise extra caution--no one likes grated knuckles. The large handle allows for a firm grip, and the completely flat grating surface makes it easy to move the cheese across the blades. Carrots, onions, and medium to firm cheeses all worked beautifully with this grater. It's also an excellent choice for larger strips of citrus zest or ginger. --Jill Lightner
