xMicroplane Premium Classic Series Zester - Pomegranate Red
Designed for home cooks who value precision and versatility, this zester adds a vibrant note to your kitchen routine. The blade is engineered to lift the flavorful outer layer of citrus fruit while leaving the bitter white pith behind, so lemon, lime, and orange zest can brighten dressings, pasta, and baked goods without overpowering bitterness.
In the hand, the tool feels balanced and confident. The stainless steel blade is built using photo etched technology in the United States, delivering a keen edge that stays sharp over time. The magnetic strip compatibility and durable end tabs help protect countertops and streamline storage.
