Microplane 42602 Artisan Fine Cheese Grater-Citrus Zester- Yellow FRESH GRATED CHEESE: A fine blade is the best tool for grating hard cheeses like Parmesan, Asiago, and other Italian cheeses. Why grate your own parmesan when you can buy it in the store pre-grated? Two words: wood pulp. With freshly grated cheese there are no preservatives, just cheese. ZEST CITRUS: If you don't have a Microplane Classic Zester, the fine zesting blade from Microplane is the next best thing. The fine blade will zest lemon without any effort - you don't have to force the grater across the fruit because Microplane blades are so sharp, the citrus will practically zest itself! GET SPICY: This chef's tool is best used when you want the optimum flavor in your dish, without adding texture. Often this must-have kitchen grater is used for more than zesting and grating cheese. It is also a perfect kitchen tool for grating cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, ginger, and chili peppers. GARNISH: Nothing pops a dish for that perfect Instagram picture like a dusting of chocolate or nuts over a muffin, or baked good. Use this kitchen tool that professionals use for those final bits of interest, both in flavor, and style. DISHWASHER SAFE: Stainless steel is naturally BPA free, as is the plastic used to frame the blade. This product may be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning.
