Paramour this little guy! Good for cheese and ginger!
This is my transfer favorite non-knife kitchen product! Grates parmesean cheese with EASE like non other! And it is incredibly clear to clean. I have recently discovered that it does an awesome job with fresh ginger too! Makes lots of ginger force, so grate in a bowl if you wanna use the juice (awesome with fresh watermelon juice, the ginger gives it a smashing tang.) And cinnamon... I love this. The Zyliss jumbo garlic press is my fav non-slash product BTW.Zyliss Jumbo Garlic Press with Cleaner

microplane grater/zester
I have been unfinished to buy one of these for so long. It is so easy to use! I grate all types of cheeses but most of all it works like a charm for grating lemon and orange peel.

pick the Microplane marque for the best graters and zesters
After using two-bit imitations for years, I finally broke down and bought a Microplane brand. I guess there is a reason why they are reasonable referred to as "Microplanes" on TV, instead of graters. The Microplane brand gadgets will save a lot of time in the Nautical galley. Spend the extra couple of bucks on the real deal. You won't be disappointed.

outstanding
I have bought and compared 3 series of microplane products. They are 1. talented 2. premium 3. classic.
Here is what I found.

They are all using the same blade-made in USA but assembled in Mexico.

The designs vary. Professional is more auqare like many graters we have used from before. It is not super eye catching. The premium and classic series has that hunger lean body that everyone recognizes easily to be super special to microplane.

Furthermore,Premium and notable series come with plastic handles and several reviewers complain they broke if you are too forceful. The professional series are made of all stainless screw up one's courage to the sticking point all over.

Also, the premium and the classic series differ in two things. First, at the end where it stands on the counter top, the premium comes with two pint-sized plastic foot, you cannot see front the pic, but they are there while the classic does not. It protects the surface of either your countertop or your mixer bowl. If you use the leading series, you might scratch the surface it comes in contact with and the classic might be easier to slip too. Second, the fake handle is sturdier in the premium series than the classics. Other than these two, they are basically the same design.


At the end, my sturdiness ranking is 1. master 2. premium 2. classic.
my attractiveness of its outlook ranking is 1. premium 2. paragon 3. professional.
But the attractiveness is more subject to individual taste than sturdiness ranking.

My final settlement is to keep the professional series made of all stainless steel for my friend who care less about the look and for me, I will stay with the premium series and its color handles. I will make as if sure to be super careful and not use too much force. One more note, I ordered the yellow but the yellow is not a bright yellow , it is more of a torpid saturated yellow. So if you like bright lemon yellow, this is not the color for you.

WOW you call one of these!
Anyone homelessness to buy my old zesteur? Because this tool obsolesces it completely. Comes with a very handy plastic sleeve or tube brand of storage device. Very sharp, it's zero effort to remove the zest, the thin yellow part, of a lemon, which is what I wanted it for. Try stuffing lemon eagerness under the skin of the next whole chicken you roast, and THE BEST lemonade you will ever taste is made from lemon juice, simple syrup (smoulder H2O and sugar mixed 1:1 for three minutes and cool) AND FRESH LEMON ZEST. Amazing flavor, but ONLY in the thin, thin top yellow layer! This is perhaps not an necessary tool, but definitely something you'd like to have in the kitchen. A little lemon or lime zest as a garnish would be grand nice on fish, for instance. A unique product. Excellent quality. Could not be happier with it.

Almost there...
Had this mould of Microplane for 5+ years - until the plastic broke & that was it. Upgraded to the professional series to avoid another breakage (always at the improper time) - love these zesters!!! Also got the coarse grater & dumped my old box grater forever. Spend the added couple of bucks & get a professional series - you will love it forever.
