Microplane Classic Zester Grater Product Review

My Star Rating: 5 stars out of 5 = I Love It

Summary Statement: Great for Parmesan, Romano, Zesting Citrus Fruits and Nutmeg

We have been using this for over a year and are thrilled. After complaining to a friend about my old lemon zester and nutmeg grater she recommended this and I'm glad she did because the MICROPLANE CLASSIC ZESTER 40020 is fantastic.

We use this for zesting citrus fruits: lemon, lime, and orange. We use it for shaving parmesan and romano cheese for our pasta dishes. We use it to grate nutmeg.

This is very sharp which means it is fast to use. The long blade makes it easy to use compared to going back and forth on shorter graters. The handle is easy to hold and it does not slip.

This is easy to clean, just don't rub in the wrong direction. Go in one direction "with the blade" not against it, with a soapy sponge repeatedly while water runs over it.

Can't recommend this highly enough for the home cook and baker.

I wound up purchasing a larger sized MICROPLANE for chocolate shaving, they sell multiple sizes.
