Product Details

Microplane is a household name worldwide for their exceptional blades, which grate ingredients without bruising and tearing them. Their new Professional Series features the same handle design and frame structure as the celebrated Master & Black Sheep Series but with an all-stainless steel construction. The handle's matte finish gives a modern look and a non-slip rubber base provides stability as you grate against the surface of a cutting board. A notch in the handle allows you to hang it on a rack. The long blade allows you to zest a portion of fruit in one long draw rather than going back and forth, which can cause the undesirable mincing of your zest and an accidental grating of the pith.

Why we love it

‘My food started tasting much better once this zester made it so easy to add lemon, lime or orange zest as a hint of brightness to pretty much anything, from pasta to cakes. I also use it for Parmesan, as the super-fine shreds melt on contact with warm food.’

About The Brand

Microplane

The first Microplane was conceived in 1990 by brothers Richard and Jeff Grace in Arkansas, USA, and was originally intended for use in woodworking. However, as the legend goes, a home cook once decided on a whim to try it out on an orange, and was astonished by the perfectly-shaped shards of zest it could produce. This ultimately led to the development of the Microplane brand as we know it today—a household name and the industry standard for graters, shavers, and zesters.

What sets Microplane products apart from others is their exceptional, long-lasting sharpness: the blades are made by means of a patented photochemical etching process that shapes them far more precisely than traditional mechanical means. The razor-sharp blades finely slice ingredients, rather than crushing or tearing them like the duller metal-stamped blades on standard graters; this makes grating or zesting much less laborious, and improves the taste, texture, and appearance of whatever you’re grating.
