The walnut Microplane zester makes it effortless to zest limes, lemons and oranges. The ultra-sharp blades glide through the zest without cutting through to the pith underneath. Use the walnut Microplane zester to get super-fine parmesan shavings or to grate nutmeg, too. Microplane’s story begins in Canada in 1994. A Canadian homemaker was frustrated that her kitchen graters were not up to the task of zesting an orange – instead of neatly removing the zest they would tear, catch and stick. In a flash of inspiration, she took a woodworking tool from her husband’s workshop. The super-sharp blades effortlessly shaved the orange zest, and the idea for Microplane was born. Microplanes are now the graters of choice for professional chefs and home cooks all over the world. This Microplane zester features an elegant walnut wood handle, non-slip foot and protective cover. All graters come with a lifetime guarantee. Hand wash only. Do not soak. Use a food-safe mineral oil or wood preserver to keep the walnut handle in top condition.
