Having been recently sent this brilliant Citrus Zester and Cheese Grater from Deiss Kitchenware. The Razor-sharp Stainless Steel Blade does a great job of Parmesan, Lemon, Ginger, Garlic, Nutmeg, Chocolate, Vegetables and Fruits; just like they says it does.
To be honest I think it's an absolute bargain since it really isn't a lot different from the well-known brand Microplane. You can buy this over at Amazon.
The Deiss Citrus Zester comes with a protective cover and is dishwasher safe.
Top Grating and Zesting Tips from Deiss!
1) Freeze the Cheese. Colder cheese grates better. Put the cheese in the freezer for about 30 minutes before grating and you’ll avoid annoying clumping. Even softer cheeses like mozzarella and fontina will grate well if you freeze them first.
2) Oil the Grater. To avoid a messy clean-up, brush the grater with a little cooking oil or a bit of butter before using it.
3) Wash your fruit thoroughly. Use soap and water to wash off pesticides, waxes, and dyes. Allow the fruit to dry before zesting.
4) Remove only the outer part of the citrus rind. Hold the fruit firmly and rub it up and down along the grater. Avoid the white pith. Rotate the lemon slightly after each grating. Try not to scrape any section of the lemon more than once.
5) Remove excess cheese buildup. Sometimes, cheese or other products will get stuck on the underside of the grater. Remove them by tapping the grater against the side of your bowl or cutting board. If necessary, use a cleaning brush and put the grater under running water.
