The Microplane Professional Series Fine Grater is a stainless-steel, American-made handheld zester designed to finely grate hard cheese, citrus zest, garlic, spices and more with ultra-sharp surgical-grade blades.

Compact yet robust, this fine grater blends a full stainless-steel build with a reinforced handle and non-slip end piece so you can grate quickly, cleanly and consistently. Made in the USA with surgical-grade blades, it trims ingredients into delicate, even shavings that dissolve into sauces, desserts and cocktails.
