While hand washing is preferred, we ran this through the dishwasher multiple times during testing with no ill effects. While this could be used in an emergency to grate other foods, it’s best to think of this as the nutmeg grater, and let it do what it’s best at. This did a good job chewing through super-hard whole nutmeg, and the small storage space at the top could be handy for storing nutmeg in between uses. In testing, we gave this a chance to grate parmesan cheese, but that’s not what the star-shaped grating surface is made for. This small but sturdy grater features a non-slip rubber guard to keep it from slipping. Take your homemade eggnog and pumpkin spice latte to the next level by zesting these spices at home. Spices start losing their potency and aroma the moment they're ground, meaning ground nutmeg and cinnamon from the grocery store don't have the same wow factor that freshly ground spices do. Cleaning was simple, since this is dishwasher safe. Unlike previous versions, however, the cover can’t be put on backwards to catch the zest as it falls. Like many Microplane graters, this comes with a cover that’s used for safe storage. We were impressed by how it cut just deep enough to get the zest while leaving the pith behind. It felt smooth and easy and worked quickly. In testing, this worked equally well for grating parmesan cheese and for zesting lemons. Relatively effortless to use, this nifty little tool will make you look for things to zest. Fluffy parmesan, minced ginger, tiny shavings of chocolate-there's no job too big or too small for this zester to handle.
The folded edges on the blade guide the zest towards the holding surface. Its signature photo-etched blade, with its super-sharp indentations, makes quick work of any job you may have on hand. The Microplane Premium Zester’s soft-touch handle fits nicely in your hand while you work your way through zesting or grating. Why the Microplane Is a Non-Negotiable in the Kitchen
