Our verdict

An inexpensive tool you will reach for constantly — for Parmesan, lemon and orange zest, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and chocolate. The only real limits: it makes fine shreds only, so you will still want a box or coarse grater for cheddar and vegetables, and the very sharp teeth deserve care when cleaning.

Few kitchen tools earn their drawer space like a good zester. Microplane's Premium Classic has a long 8 by 1 inch grating surface of surgical-grade stainless steel that turns hard cheese into fine, lacy wisps and lifts citrus zest without the bitter pith. A soft-touch TPE handle gives a comfortable grip, rubber feet and non-scratch end tabs keep it steady on a bowl or board, and a reusable cover protects the blade in the drawer. The blade is made in the USA and the zester is dishwasher safe.

Why you’ll like it

  1. 01

    Restaurant-style finishing: snowy Parmesan and fragrant citrus zest with no bitter pith.

  2. 02

    Fast prep for garlic and ginger without getting out a knife and board.

  3. 03

    Steady and safe: rubber feet and end tabs grip the bowl, and a cover protects your fingers in the drawer.

  4. 04

    Easy cleanup — it goes in the dishwasher.

Great for

  • Anyone who cooks Italian or bakes with citrus
  • A great small gift or stocking stuffer

Maybe skip it if

  • You need a coarse grater for large amounts of cheese or vegetables
