5.0 out of 5 stars A kitchen necessity

The quality is impressive—it’s sharp and high-quality, making zesting a easy. I love that it’s slip-resistant, ensuring I have a solid grip while working, and the design of the grater is great. The surface wraps around a bit, which means there are no dead spots, allowing me to maximize zesting efficiency.
It’s not just for lemons; I’ve used it for garlic and other ingredients, and it performs every time. The slip-resistant knobs on top are a thoughtful touch, letting me rest the zester on the cutting board without any slipping or rotating.

While the zester is amazing overall, I do wish the protective sheath was of a higher quality—it could be sturdier. However, considering the performance and build quality, this zester is definitely worth the extra money compared to others on the market. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe, which is a must for easy cleaning.

If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be to upgrade the protective sheath. Other than that, this lemon zester is a game-changer in my kitchen!

Cooking more meals that call for zesting citrus. Tried a box grater and it just made a mess. This was my first actual zester and I am so glad I bought it. Yes, the cutters are sharp and it "could" cut a knuckle or finger tip, but not if you are paying attention. First use, it took about 30 seconds to zest the entire lime. It was easy and added a LOT of flavor to the dish. It is sharp, solid, does a great job, and cleans easily under running water. I should have ordered one a long time ago.

Each time I tried to zest a lemon, I struggled with a box grater and a small zester. Neither one of them were easy to use and getting any zest out of the box grater was a joke.
Today this was delivered and I decided to finish the zesting I attempted when I ordered this. All I can say is WOW! This microplaner is amazing! It made this chore a breeze and I was finished in no time. The grater itself is sharp and very effective. It’s comfortable to hold and I like the feet on the bottom to help it stay steady. It’s lighweight and cleans easily. The plastic cover is perfect for storing in a drawer. Never again will I struggle with useless gadgets, this is perfect. I am very pleased with this microplaner and I highly recommend it. Now to go throw away that useless zester that’s a waste of space and time!

When your old KitchenAid micro-greater can’t even remove the zest from a lemon without a hassle, it’s time to buy a new one. This was highly rated by Cooks Illustrated/ America’s Test Kitchen so I took a chance. Very pleased with the quality and the ease of use. Comes with its own plastic sleeve for storage to keep from damaging other things in the drawer- or your fingers. It’s very sharp and works brilliantly.

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024
I bought this to replace what I think is their old model. It was a bit wider and didn't curl around like this one does. The protective shield is difficult to get on because of the design. Otherwise it works great and is sharp.

The product did exactly what I purchased it for, to grate ginger. The microplane is of good quality. The handle was easy to hold even with arthritis in my hands. I would buy this item again if needed. The cost is reasonable.
