What Customers Ask About This Product
What's the difference between a zester and a fine grater?
A zester is long and narrow, so it's easy to run around curved fruit and hold over a bowl. A fine grater is wider, which is quicker for larger amounts of hard cheese.
Can I grate truffle and chocolate with it?
Yes. Microplane recommend it for truffle, chocolate and nutmeg as well as citrus and hard cheese.
In our experience...
Zest only the coloured skin. The white pith underneath is bitter, so turn the fruit as soon as the colour has gone from each patch.
Etched blades cut rather than tear. Photo-etched teeth slice food cleanly, where punched graters rip it. That gives lighter, fluffier cheese and zest, and less effort for you.
Let the blade do the work. Sharp teeth need only light, steady strokes. Pressing hard doesn't grate faster and makes it easier to catch your knuckles.

Care & Use Instructions
Daily cleaning: Rinse under running water straight after use, before food dries on, then let it drip dry.
Washing: Handwash only, in warm soapy water. The dishwasher blunts and chips fine blades over time, so they won't stay as sharp.
Storage: Keep the protective cover on the blade when it's in a drawer, to protect the blade and your fingers.
