All-Stainless Steel Lemon Zester Tool, Blade made in the USA

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...

When these first came out and chefs raved about them, I bought one, loved it, and started buying them as gifts: they are light and take no space in a suitcase so brought them to friends when traveling. They always become their favorite kitchen item too. I like these handle-less ones as I will rest them across the top of a bowl when grating. They just need a quick rinse and dry quickly. Great product.

I ordered the microplane 40001 zester recently because I find myself having more and more recipes that call for lemon, lime or orange zest. In fact, since receiving the zester last week I have used it four times already. It got a really good first use when I grated an entire large piece of ginger on it. I have never grated ginger so quickly and effortlessly. I have used it to zest an orange, lemon and lime, all with great ease. The zester is high quality stainless steel and comes with a convenient and very durable plastic sleeve with grroves where you can just slide it back in when you are finished using. The grater itself is quite sharp. It is super easy to clean with just water and a little soap. I have delayed getting one of these for a long time and I'm so glad I finally decided to get one. The price is really good. I'm sure a more expensive model with a handle would be nice, but I find it to be unnecessary. It was comfortable to use even while grating that large piece of ginger.

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.

I prefer the full length microplanes for professional work, easy to get full use of citrus and long strokes of cheese. Hands down best wy to go when looking for new microplanes.

Like it and it works well. There isn't a handle so you are holding the grater with your hand and it's rather uncomfortable. I like the ones with a handle much better. Zests beautifully, very sharp, grated nutmeg, ginger, chocolate, parmesan cheese, lemons, limes, oranges, etc. beautifully.

This zester replaced another one I had. It was no black handle so it cleans well and does not put pieces in my recipe.

Been using my 2 of these for 20+ years, LOVED THEM. They do citrus zest, nutmeg, chocolate and cheese no problem. I just decided to get new ones because mine had finally dulled. I have never missed the handle, never had a problem with the sleeve shaving off plastic bits. The person who cut the sleeve in half to make a handle of sorts - genius!!

En ayant longtemps entendu parler, j'ai décidé de tester et j'en suis extrêmement satisfait. Cette râpe est extrêmement efficace ; elle permet de zester ou de râper du parmesan avec une facilité déconcertante.

Çok iyi tutma yeri olan modeller den daha iyi bence ben çok memnun kaldım

軽くて薄いので、置かずに片手だけでしっかり支えられるので、調理中にサッと使えます。 洗うのも簡単だし、臭いや色も沈着しないので衛生的です。

Óptimo para ralar somente a parte vidrada dos citrinos. Em relação a outros raladores microplane tem a vantagem de ralar mais fino. Óptimo produto!

Super buen producto! Por ahora solo lo he usado un par de veces pero ralla perfecto! lo he usado con citricos, jengibre y queso parmesano y ralló los tres super fino y se despega facil de la superficie. Me gustó que no tuviera mango plastico, evita la formación de hongos y oxido. Viene con una cubierta de plástico duro muy util para guardarlo en el cajón y que no pierda su filo al estar en contacto con otros utensilios
