xMicroplane Premium Citrus Zester & Parmesan Grater — Dark Blue
Meet a versatile, precision-driven kitchen tool designed to elevate everyday cooking. The dark blue handle and compact form bring a modern look to your prep space, while the blade itself is crafted in the USA from surgical-grade stainless steel. This combination supports reliable performance, whether you’re zesting citrus for a vinaigrette or grating hard cheese over a warm pasta dish. The result is more aroma, brighter flavor, and less mess—without needing a drawer full of gadgets.
Precision and durability you can trust
Each blade uses advanced photo-etching to create ultra-sharp edges that cut cleanly through citrus rind and hard cheese. The stainless steel resists rust and stays sharp over time, so you can rely on consistent results season after season. The design also includes non-scratch end tabs to protect countertops and a magnetic feature for easy hanging on a knife strip.
- ZEST: a purpose-built tooth arrangement lifts flavorful rind while avoiding the bitter white pith, ideal for dressings, baked goods, and finishing touches.
- MULTI-USE: grate ginger or garlic into pastes, shave whole spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or skim small burnt spots from cookies for a fresh finish.
- CARE & DURABILITY: rust-resistant blades, US-made precision, and dishwasher-safe cleaning for quick refreshes after cooking.
Real-world versatility for everyday meals
Think of bright, aromatic zest waking up a simple salad, or a fine grate adding a finishing layer to a creamy pasta. The tool’s compact footprint makes it easy to store on a magnetic strip or in a shallow drawer, yet it feels sturdy in hand for consistent results with minimal effort.
- Flavor-forward zest to enhance vinaigrettes, salads, and baked goods.
- Fine cheese grating for pizza tops, pastas, and veggie bowls.
Cleaning, care, and storage
Rinse promptly after use, or place it in the dishwasher if you prefer. A small kitchen brush helps clear under the blade. When not in use, store on a magnetic strip or in a protective slot to preserve the blade’s edge and safeguard countertops.
