  • The Microplane Grater/Zester: Gettin' a little nutmeg action goin' there. "Excellent!"

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 10, 2006
    Pros: Fast, fine zesting and grating. Hot girls use them.
    Cons: None that I can think of

    Summary: Okay, I admit it. I am a Food Network junkie. (Is there a 12 Step Program for us yet?) My Tivo like all Tivo's has a mind of it's own. If there is a program on that in any way relates to cooking, it decides to record it for me. One of my ... read more

    Jan 11, 2010
    Pros: nice fine shreds, sharp, thick handle for holding, easy to use
    Cons: have to be careful or you will end up grating yourself, needs storage cover

    Summary: When it comes to kitchen tools I have two large drawers filled with them as well as two huge crocks of kitchen utensils on my counter. When it comes to gadgets for the kitchen I never seem to get enough. Though many of them I have only used a couple of ... read more

  • This grater couldn't be greater!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 9, 2010
    Pros: Has countless uses; fast and efficient; cleans up easily
    Cons: None at all.

    Summary: The way kitchen tools (and even ingredients: EVOO, anybody?) go in and out like fads always amazes me. And one of the latest new kitchen gadgets on the market is the Microplane, popularized by the numerous food television hosts on the Food Network, PBS, ... read more

    Pros: Sharp, easy to use and easy to clean!  Inexpensive.
    Cons: No cons!

    Summary: I heard about the Microplane Grater/Zester from a friend.  I was not able to purchase it in my city.  She brought me one from her gift shop in St. Simons Island, GA.  I use it for everything when I'm cooking.  I have always used a ... read more

    Cons: none in my book

    Summary: A wonderful kitchen aid to have handy is the Microplane Grater/Zester. It is an essential and very helpful tool to have around and much safer for me than the regular grater. We all know we use our hands for everything in the kitchen and using ... read more

  • Microplane 40020 graters are magic wands in the kitchen.

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 24, 2007
    Pros: Easy to clean, stays sharp, doesn't rust, light, dishwasher safe, grates a variety of ingredients.
    Cons: sometimes food gets stuck.

    Summary: I love using my Microplane Grater while I am preparing a meal or if I just want to add toppings on food. It adds so much flavor to all of my meals. Putting cheese on top of a salad or spaghetti used to be so hard before I bought a microplane. It is such ... read more

  • Wow!! Zesting Citrus Fruits Has Never Been Better!!! Now With Blade Guard!!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 17, 2006
    Pros: Great for zesting citrus fruits & grating Parmesan cheese as well as coconut!
    Cons: Blade can dig into plastic guard, leaving tiny shavings on blade. Rinse well before use.

    Summary: WHY MICROPLANE? I have a smaller hand-held zester that is used almost like a paring knife. But I hardly use that, and when I do, I still must chop the zest finer with a knife because it comes off in long string shreds. I've been planning to get one ... read more

  • The Microplane Grater/Zester is an Amazing Tool, Very Fun and Highly Functional!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community

    Pros: Grates beautifully, effortlessly, great for a variety of foods and purposes
    Cons: Doesn't come with a cover to protect blade and fingers

    Summary: Recently, we bought a Microplane 8.5” Grater/Zester for a recipe that called for ginger. I have a regular small zester (two, actually), but it wasn’t quite what we needed. I had seen the microplane in Bed Bath & Beyond, not to ... read more

    Aug 20, 2002
    Pros: Great for zesting citrus fruits, ginger, and onions.
    Cons: none

    Summary: Friends used to laugh at me for my extensive collection of kitchen tools. I'm not a collector of electrical appliances, but if I have more ways to slice, zest, peel, flip, and grate than anyone I know...well, almost anyone. Since I've moved back to my ... read more

  • Yes, it's true, these are for wood!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 13, 2002
    Pros: Very sharp, carefully designed
    Cons: small grating surface

    Summary: I have read about these graters, made by a U.S. company, called Microplanes. The story goes that a woman tried her husband's new wood rasp in the kitchen, and was amazed by it's effectiveness. Well, I did in fact buy a couple of kinds of rasps years ... read more

    Cons: Can be difficult to control with some foods, handle not bonded to grater

    Summary: I have five Microplane graters, and frankly, no kitchen should be without one (though five is probably overkill). The origin: The story of Microplane graters is fairly irresistible. The wife of a woodworking tools salesman grabbed ... read more

    May 13, 2002
    Pros: zests to perfection for any recipe
    Cons: grates cheese too finely

    Summary: I watched cooking shows constantly and usually want each and every gadget the TV Chefs use. I own a food processor, as well as an old fashioned box grater that I use for cheese but was using a veggie peeler for my citrus zest. I found that the ... read more

    Feb 18, 2006
    Pros: Versatile, easy to clean, stays sharp.
    Cons: Not at thing!

    Summary: I am accused of being a kitchen gadget queen, but this little beauty is one I will never be without again! I use it mostly for citrus zesting and fine clouds of parmesan and romano cheeses, but I've also tried onions and garlic, too. It handles
