Microplane Master Series Wood Handle Stainless Steel Zester Grater

This is the nicest build quality of any microplane grater I've ever owned. No plastic on it at all. The wood handle is solid and balances well with the substantial steel frame (US Made). There's even a "no-slide-rubber grippy bumper" on the end of the steel frame... nice touch. It grates perfectly as you would expect from a quality kitchen tool. I was a bit perplexed by the sticker adhered to the back of the grating blade but it peeled away without drama or glue residue. My guess would be that this is probably best hand washed rather than cleaned in a dishwasher but that's a given with any nice quality cutting edges. All in all, I'm very happy with this and highly recommend it.

I realize this product is a little pricey compared to other competitors, but it's definitely worth it. First impressions is that it has an incredibly solid feel, it is very study construction and the wood on the handle feels wonderful. It's comfortable to hold and very easy to operate. It also comes with a nice little plastic shield that slides over the blades when not in use...safety first! As for function, holy cow this thing works fast! it's multiple times faster than the OXO that I have been using and that is no exaggeration. My main use for a Microplane is shredding parmesan, because let's be honest, if it's not freshly shredded parmesan it just isn't true parmesan...the taste difference is insane. Being able to quickly shred parmesan into the pasta salads that I love to make is important to me and this will suit me very well indeed. I've attached a photo of what the shredded cheese looks like in case anyone is curious what the end result looks like. After that little test, it took me 30 seconds to have it completely clean, so that's awesome as well. In summary: It looks super nice, it feels super nice and it functions spectacularly! It is a little expensive, but trust me you will not regret this purchase.

Excellent product and beautifully made.

There's a reason chefs don't say greater they say microplane and the handle is beautiful.

Wow, my zesting game just changed! I cannot believe the ease of this thing and what it yields. If you zest often, I would say this is a must have.

Great zester! Worth the $$$$

Bought to use with ginger root. Nice build. Thick metal. Doesn’t hardly cut. I think for a hard material like nut meg or something it would work, but for ginger it was terribly slow. It does grate finer pieces, so maybe that’s your use case. Seller was fine, no issue there. Just not a good product.

I have had many microplanes. This is by far the easiest and the most effective one I’ve owned. It is very sharp, and I can grate most everything at a very quick speed. Very easy to handle. Worth every penny.

Really good looking but overpriced

it looks like a fake, there is no box, the metal of the bezel is very thin. There is no inscription that it was made in the USA.

Very sharp and excellent quality. Says "made in USA " but in fact is made under license in China. Isn't everything these days? Credit where due though, this is a durable, well designed, easy to clean classy unit that works how it should. Very sharp, so watch those fingers.

This is a very nice looking gadget but it is better buy a box grater. Although it is very sharp I found it ackward to use. The form is better suited to the work shop than the kitchen. Would not ever, ever buy this again.

I love this microplane. It's sturdy, feels good in my hand. Nice and sharp. Would buy again.
