OXO products are always high quality and this zester/grater is also. It fits well in my hand and because it is surrounded in silicone, it won't slip on the cutting board.

This zester/grater gives you a fairly fine grate (perfect for parmesan & citrus zest). If you want a larger grate OXO has a similar grater with larger holes. It would be awesome if OXO could come up with a design that gives you both in one tool. The good news is that they are not too large and don't take up much room. And It’s Dishwasher Safe
