MICROPLANE

Microplane 46301 Premium Classic Zester and Grater - White

$18.99

Key Features:

Photo-Etched Surgical Grade Stainless Steel Blade: The blade is manufactured using Microplane's proprietary photo-etching process in Russellville, Arkansas, USA, producing 400 razor-sharp micro-teeth that cut cleanly without tearing or shredding for consistently fine, delicate results.
Precision Citrus Zesting: Tooth geometry is specifically designed to capture only the flavorful outer rind of citrus fruits while leaving behind the bitter white pith, making it ideal for producing zest for vinaigrettes, sauces, baked goods, and garnishes.
Broad Multi-Application Use: Handles a wide range of prep tasks including grating hard cheeses (Parmesan, Asiago, Pecorino), mincing ginger and garlic into fine pastes, grinding whole spices (nutmeg, cinnamon), shaving chocolate, and grating truffle.
Long, Narrow Handheld Design: The classic slim profile (approx. 12.5" L x 1.5" W) offers precise directional control during service prep, making it a go-to tool in fast-paced professional kitchen environments.
Ergonomic Soft-Touch Handle with Hanging Loop: The contoured handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use, while the integrated loop allows storage on a magnetic knife strip or overhead rack for quick access during service.
Rust-Resistant and Long-Lasting Sharpness: Made from true magnetic stainless steel that resists corrosion and maintains blade sharpness over time with proper care, delivering reliable performance in commercial settings.
Dishwasher Safe Construction: Rated for top-rack dishwasher cleaning for quick turnaround between uses; hand washing is recommended to maximize long-term blade performance.
Non-Scratch End Tabs and Protective Cover: Non-scratch end tabs protect countertops and plates during use, while the included blade cover ensures safe storage and extended blade longevity.
