The Premium Classic zester is the ultimate grater for finely grating citrus, parmesan, chocolate, and much much more. The tool is a favorite among chefs around the world and is always recommended for its ultra-sharp blade, which will last for several years into the future. The grater is equipped with Microplanes' armored photo-etched inserts that ensure high quality and razor-sharp inserts. The soft-touch handle is in an ergonomic design and fits well in the hand. Of course, like all Microplane products, it can go in the dishwasher.
