It's also best to avoid scrubbing them with metal scourers, which could damage the finish or dull the blades.Check out our top recommendations or read on to learn more about how to pick out your perfect zester. The Zester has found enthusiastic support from professional chefs and passionate hobby chefs around the world and has earned a permanent place in restaurants and home kitchens. Grating chillies is an clever way to add a subtle hint of heat to a dish whilst side-stepping unexpected chunks.

Using a zester is much more practical than a grater if you only need a small pinch of a particular ingredient because a grater won’t be able to give you a small pinch.

Some zesters have cleaning accessories included, such as brushes or squeegees, to help clean in tight corners or get rid of wet zest from the blade before it dries and sticks. Citrus zest can brighten up a meal with its fresh tangy flavor or work its magic in a range of tasty baked goods. Featuring Microplane's iconic long and narrow, rasp-style design, our Premium Classic Series Zester Graters are used by chefs worldwide and seen on TV!

Make sure to lightly grip the smooth edges of the tool (thumb on one side, four fingers on the other). But finding that perfect amount of spice or zest can be tricky, especially if you’re not using the right utensil.It even has a sleek and stylish design that will surely accent your kitchen and that’s always fun to have. A lightweight budget model featuring a comfy ergonomic handle that's easy to grip and a nice zest-catcher for mess-free use.

Its two-way blades shred hard cheeses into thin strands and do the same with carrot, forming little nests that resemble slim spaghetti. Extra functions: we looked for graters that were collapsible or had handy extras, like clever storage capacity. This zester has really unparalleled curved sides which make it rigid in a unique way that other zesters do not have. It gives you the freedom to grate a wide variety of different things and accent all different kinds of dishes. We found it worked particularly well with courgettes, although if you’re looking to grate in bulk, a wider grater would be more efficient.Just as there are really awesome graters to choose from, you’ll find that there are plenty of great zesters to choose from as well. The peeler on the side is a doddle to use, and both the slicer and grater are sharp and effective – allowing for smooth movements and no resistance. For example, when Microplane discovered that its surform type wood rasps had become popular as food graters and zesters, it adapted the woodworking tools and marketed them as "zester / graters". Whether its lemon for a lemon drizzle, or other foodstuff such as ginger, cinnamon or nutmeg, this fine grater handles it all with ease.
