It has a stiff aluminum blade that extends out a little less than a foot, and the razors are sharp and efficient. The stiffness and the shape of the aluminum is idea to keep the blade from buckling under any pressure you might put on it. and it's fairly easy to pull out any material that might have gotten caught underneath the razors. It works like a charm for getting any kind of zest although the best is grating garlic on this thing. You can do a knob of garlic really quickly and you get a wonderful, fragrant heap of pulp. If you need finely diced garlic or pulp, a microplane is excellent. It does ginger pretty well too, athough it's always kind of hard to grate ginger because it's so fibrous. And it does hard cheese really well. You can get long shreds of parmesan by pushing down hard on the zester and a more gentle touch will give you finer, snowy cheese if that's what you want. Your fingers also won't get caught too easily in this thing, which is great. I can grind down a clove of garlic to the very end and not worry too much about sausaging my fingers. I'd still be careful though. I've had a for a couple of months now and the razors show no sign of dulling yet. Customer support is probably pretty good, i haven't had to reach out to them for anything. But one really nice touch is that the send you some tips on how to use the Deiss PRO zester and cheese grater. For one thing, they suggest oiling it a little bit before using to help material slide through the razors more easily. It's a really good idea and makes clean up really easy. 10 of 10 would recommend. Review: It clumps the orange rind - I saw Chef Jean-Pierre demonstrate how to use this type zester (not this brand) and I wanted one. I found that the orange rind (zest) clumps in the channel and is held in a single lump by the curved edges of the zester so that the grated rind does not spill out into the batter, I have to push the lump out & then it does not distribute evenly over the batter. I would like to grate the rind evenly over the batter. So then I ordered another Deiss brand of zester that is wider and flat with square holes (not curved) and without the curved sides, so that it lets go of the orange rind or cheese better. However it seems that the tiny holes are what contribute to making the grated food stick together. I don't see the value of this curved edge type of zester because of clumping and not releasing the fruit-rind or even the cheese. However, this zester is sharp and seems to be made of good material and it grates quickly and easily, albeit so long in size which seems unnecessary. It's easy to clean and comes with its own brush for getting into the holes. Has a protective cover that is placed over the sharp edges. I gave it 5 stars because it works as intended and the quality is good. ## Features - ✅COMFORTABLE TO USE & BUILT TO LAST : The Cheese Grater has a razor-sharp stainless steel blade that won't rust and a comfortable, non-slip handle. Its unique curved sides make it extremely rigid and allow you to apply more force when it's needed. - ✅SAVE SPACE IN THE KITCHEN : Replace your bulky, unsafe, and hard-to-clean box grater or heavy electric food processor with a single Deiss Cheese Grater. The metal grater's teeth won't clog up the way other graters do, so it's a snap to clean. Just pass it under running water. - ✅IMPROVE YOUR COOKING : Amaze your friends with new, restaurant-like recipes. Add strong new flavours with freshly zested ingredients without any bitter pith taste. When using the grater with hard cheeses such as parmesan, you'll get a nice pile of grated cheese that melts almost instantly on hot pasta. - ✅ZESTING & GRATING HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SIMPLE : Shear the hardest cheese into grated fluff using almost no pressure. Simply zip the cutter-knife across the rinds of oranges, lemons and limes. In seconds, you can have finely grated garlic or ginger or treat yourself to a favorite dessert topped with fluffy chocolate flakes. - ✅LIFETIME WARRANTY : Deiss Kitchenware lifetime warranty is a guarantee to ensure our customers have a hassle-free experience and unbeatable product lifespan. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09YGDB4JP | | Best Sellers Rank | #36,867 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #24 in Zesters | | Brand | Deiss | | Brand Name | Deiss | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 14,818 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.12 kg | | Manufacturer | Deiss Kitchenware | | Manufacturer Part Number | GRCH8386U | | Material | Plastic, Rubber , Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Plastic, Rubber, Stainless Steel | | Model Number | DEISS PRO | | Number of Items | 1 | | Shape | Rectangular | | Style | Modern | | Style Name | Modern | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Deiss - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 0.12 Kilograms - **Material:** Plastic, Rubber, Stainless Steel - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Deiss PRO Citrus Zester & Cheese Grater - Parmesan Cheese Lemon, Ginger, Garlic, Nutmeg, Chocolate, Vegetables, Fruits - Razor-Sharp Stainless Steel Blade, Wide, Dishwasher Safe (BLACK) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71obv+yAnUL.jpg) ![Deiss PRO Citrus Zester & Cheese Grater - Parmesan Cheese Lemon, Ginger, Garlic, Nutmeg, Chocolate, Vegetables, Fruits - Razor-Sharp Stainless Steel Blade, Wide, Dishwasher Safe (BLACK) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71U66BN+iHL.jpg) ![Deiss PRO Citrus Zester & Cheese Grater - Parmesan Cheese Lemon, Ginger, Garlic, Nutmeg, Chocolate, Vegetables, Fruits - Razor-Sharp Stainless Steel Blade, Wide, Dishwasher Safe (BLACK) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LpzainNkL.jpg) ![Deiss PRO Citrus Zester & Cheese Grater - Parmesan Cheese Lemon, Ginger, Garlic, Nutmeg, Chocolate, Vegetables, Fruits - Razor-Sharp Stainless Steel Blade, Wide, Dishwasher Safe (BLACK) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CIoI7XFSL.jpg) ![Deiss PRO Citrus Zester & Cheese Grater - Parmesan Cheese Lemon, Ginger, Garlic, Nutmeg, Chocolate, Vegetables, Fruits - Razor-Sharp Stainless Steel Blade, Wide, Dishwasher Safe (BLACK) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-egRWLTcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What grade of steel is the blade made from? 18/8? 18/10?** A: I have just received my order of this item. It says very clearly on the box: 18/8 stainless steel.This is in direct contradiction of the Amazon comparison matrix above, which claims it's 18/10. **Q: Can it be used to grade hymilan rock salt?** A: I assume you mean grate, not grade LOL. And that's Himilayan. Proofread! **Q: does this come wiht little black feet on the end?** A: No feet on mine...but a nice blade guard that is easy to take off and put on. It's very sharp! Love it. **Q: Is it dishwasher safe?** A: Have not tried it. For me it is easier and faster to wash by hand, but can't see why not. I think it is stainless steel - so won't rust. The handle is similar to other utensil rubber-like plastic handles that are perfectly safe as long as kept away from direct exposure to the dishwasher heating element. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Customer Service Touches And A Quality Microplane *by T***N on December 5, 2016* This microplane is able to do its primary job, which is zest citrus and shred food.
