Materials: Surgical grade stainless steel blade Made in USA Zesting with the Microplane Classic Zester:  If you are right-handed, hold the lemon (citrus) in your left hand with a side up as if it were the neck of a violin. Take the Microplane® Zester in your right hand and make sure the sharp edges of the cutter are aimed away from you toward the lemon. Make sure to lightly grip the smooth edges of the tool (thumb on one side, four fingers on the other). Now, stroke the Zester across the lemon as if you were playing the violin. The zest collects in the upper channel. Voila! Incredible fine shavings of zest--no more grated knuckles! For use with cheese, we suggest stretching it across the top of a bowl. Another idea is to leave the cover on, but just slide it down to expose only part of the blade and grip the cover while in use.  Top rack dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing your grater in warm water immediately after each use. Remove trapped particles from the non-sharp side whenever possible. To remove trapped particles on the front, first soak the tool in warm water and then use a cleaning brush to stroke in the same direction as the teeth. Store with blade covered when not in use. Microplane ~ The Cutting Edge in cooking tool design ~  Published From Cook's Illustrated. We put three new rasp-style graters through their paces to see how they compare to our long time favorite. products tested (listed alphabetically) Cuisipro Rasp Grater Kuhn Rikon Rasp Grater Microplane Classic Grater/Zester Zyliss Rasp Grater After several years, we have grated hundreds of pounds of hard cheese, citrus zest, chocolate, shallots, garlic, carrots, radishes, and horseradish, and our favorite rasp grater remains an excellent performer overall. Our readers agree. Seventy-five of you responded to a Web survey, and not one reported significant dulling with normal use. That said, we recently noticed that its rasp-like design was no longer unique. We put three new rasp-style graters through their paces to see how they compare. The results? The first required massive brute strength to produce even a few wisps of grated Parmesan. The second had the opposite problem--it gripped so well that it dug into the pith of the lemon. The third felt flimsy , which made it difficult to use. And our kitchen standby? It breezed through all four tasks, producing piles of cheese, chocolate, zest, and ginger with minimal effort. That said, we do have a note from the kitchen. Both readers and test cooks pointed out that this zester breaks down hard cheese into very light, feathery shards that weigh less than cheese grated on box or rotary graters when measured by volume. For instance, our tests show that 1 ounce of Parmesan grated on the fine holes of a box grater yields 1/2 cup of grated cheese, whereas the same 1 ounce grated on a rasp yields 3/4 cup of grated cheese. When following a recipe, then, use the recommended weight of hard cheese. If the amount is given by volume grated on a box or rotary grater, increase it by half if you are using a rasp grater. RECOMMENDED The Microplane Classic full blade Grater/ZesterThe Microplane has all of the virtues we look for in a grater, include sharp teeth, and structural rigidity for good leverage on hard foods, and a design that’s maneuverable over round or irregular shapes.  Dishwasher safe , rinse after each use , store with blade cover on when not in use - these tools are made for cutting and their surfaces are sharp !  Sold individually, NOT IN A SET !
