Customers say
Customers find this grater to be the best zester, particularly excelling at citrus zest and finely shredding hard cheeses like Parmesan.
This zester is a good quality, sharp, and easy on the hands. Good deal and doesn't have the plastic grip like most. This thing will zest with a quick stroke across the top. Read more
I don't often write reviews, but this thing inspired me to. I read other reviews that said they didn't miss the handle, so I took a chance. I admit that it required a little creativity to figure out the best grip for my hand personally, but the joyful part came when I slid a fresh chunk of pecorino romano down the length of this very sharp tool to then watch the snowfall of fine, soft cheese float down to the waiting porcelain collection dish. So easy, so efficient. And made in America, baby! Excellent quality. I might actually score a bunch for Christmas prezzies... Read more
I use the plastic sheath as a "handle" and that works fine. Love the surgical quality of the cutters and have gifted this to many family and friends. Read more
Yes, it is true. This high quality item is actually made in the United States Of America! I gave it 5 stars because I like things that are well made and perform the task that they were designed to do and do it well. But wait, that's not all! Not only does it work as intended, it is inexpensive, and simple to use. It does work better for zesting or shreding some foods and ingredients better than others but that may just be a matter of learning how to hold and manipulate the tool for that item. I said that it was easy to use and it is, but you do have to find out the best way to hold it to fit your own hand size or the task you are preforming. Use it 2 or 3 times and you're a Pro. For the money, and the free shipping possiblity, and crazy good way that it shaves off parmesan and romano cheeze,go for it! Don't worry about hurting yourself, it is no more dangerous than a sharp knife or a pot of boiling water. It comes with a very durable plastic guard/storage cover that protects the sharpness of the tool and your hands. Read more
Bought my first at a garage sale for next to nothing. After using it once, I threw away my old zester which was awful. Have since gifted it to quite a few friends and family members. In addition to zesting citrus, which it does beautifully, it's also good for finely shredding hard cheeses like Parmesan and for grating garlic. Read more
It does exactly what I had hoped it would! It zests citrus, makes parmesan nice and fluffy, and finely grates both ginger and garlic (perfect for small dishes). One with a handle might be slightly more intuitive to hold, but I got used to this one quickly. It cleans easily (a couple taps upside down or a rinse under water), and doesnt take up much drawer space. If you want to grate things in bulk, get a more coarse grater- this has "micro" in the name for a reason. The long length makes it pretty fast to use, since you can get long strokes in, compared to a shorter grater. Read more
Exactly what I’d hoped it would be. Effortless zesting and grating and easy to clean. Read more
This zester replaced another one I had. It was no black handle so it cleans well and does not put pieces in my recipe. Read more
