Microplane Zester Grater in After Dark Grey for Citrus Fruits, Hard Cheese, Ginger, Chocolate and Nutmeg with Fine Stainless Steel Blade - Made in USA

Product Information

A lightweight budget model featuring a comfy ergonomic handle that's easy to grip and a nice zest-catcher for mess-free use. It is a multi purpose tool and it is recommended for grating garlic, grating ginger, grating parmesan cheese. If you are right-handed, hold the lemon (citrus) in your left hand with a side up as if it were the neck of a violin. You'll find an abundance of articles: from the best air fryers to simple recipes with your children. The best zesters will be made from super-strong 18/10 stainless steel, which stays sharper for longer and is more resistant to corrosion.

The zester was easy to use, though we had difficulty cleaning it as bits of zest became lodged in the teeth. Citrus zest can brighten up a meal with its fresh tangy flavor or work its magic in a range of tasty baked goods. Its two-way blades shred hard cheeses into thin strands and do the same with carrot, forming little nests that resemble slim spaghetti. This tool has the original blade that created the entire range of zesting tools on the market today.Cheese needs to be cut into small cubes, but it would come in useful if you’re not grating in bulk and want kids to be able to use it. The unique curved sides make this zester extremely rigid and allow you to apply more force when needed.

We tested graters with a combination of fresh ingredients, to bring you our picks of the best models on the market. Do you want a model that can only be used for zesting, or do you want one that can grate other foods as well? The blade itself is photo-etched, so you can count on its sharp little teeth catching trickier angles.If you decide to use a grater with certain things, it can add way more of the flavor than you intended and can overwhelm or even ruin a dish. Using a zester is much more practical than a grater if you only need a small pinch of a particular ingredient because a grater won’t be able to give you a small pinch. Our Mission: make food fun and healthy, be cognizant of our environment impact with food, and involve kids in cooking.
