Zest with precision
The blade’s tooth arrangement is tuned to remove the flavorful rind directly from citrus fruits while leaving the bitter white pith behind. That means you can add vibrant citrus notes to vinaigrettes, stir-fries, salads, and baked goods with minimal effort. Expect zest that carries essential oils for a lively aroma and a clean finish in every dish.
- Captures citrus oils for vivid flavor without pith.
- Brightens dressings, marinades, and baked goods with fresh zest.
- Simple to rinse or brush clean after zesting.
Cheese and spice versatility
Grate hard cheeses like Parmesan into fluffy, melt-ready shreds that elevate pasta, eggs, and vegetables. It also excels at mincing spices—turn ginger and garlic into fragrant pastes in seconds, and shave whole cinnamon or nutmeg for warm, bakery-style notes.
- Parmesan and other hard cheeses shred into airy, appealing textures.
- Freshly grated spices boost sauces, desserts, and beverages with a quick aroma lift.
- Shaved chocolate or cocoa add a delicate finish to desserts and toppings.
Quality you can rely on
Made with durable, rust-resistant stainless steel and razor-sharp blades, Microplane uses photo-etched technology for lasting sharpness. The tool features non-scratch end tabs to protect counters and a magnetic blade-friendly design for easy storage on metal surfaces.
Care and convenience
Dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning, though a quick hand rinse and a brush can help remove tough particles from the blade underside. Dry after washing to maintain its pristine look and longevity.
