Microplane’s Dual Blade Stainless Steel Zester: 30th Anniversary Edition. Microplane Home cooks have stocked their kitchen drawers with Microplane graters and zesters for 30 years.

So, when Microplane offered to send me one of its graters, I decided to welcome a new addition into my kitchen. Here's why I swear by it now.

This microplane grater has almost 29,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, which speaks for itself. "This is probably the last zester I'll ever need to buy," this customer said.

This is one kitchen tool that definitely earns its space in the gadget drawer. The Microplane sells for $12.95 and is available at most kitchen stores.

Microplane graters generally cost $15-$30, depending on the style and quality. Microplane-style fine graters are usually cheaper than this, but it’s worth splashing out on the original and best.
