The smallest grater wasn’t as small as some of the graters we tested, but worked well for both cheese and zesting. The larger grating surface also worked well. The julienne blade made small thin slices that were smaller than a traditional julienne cut, but worked well. The slicer was one of our favorites, slicing both carrots and zucchini with ease.

The novelty of its highly engineered stainless steel solution to cheese grating is quite satisfying. Expect to have grated cheese everywhere if used at the table. The ideal zest includes the outer skin of the citrus with a little bit of rind. A dull zester will require more force and scrape down to the inside of the citrus, but a sharp zester like the Microplane can easily shave to the right depth. This worked well for both our hard and soft cheeses, and we liked that we could choose large or small shreds as well as ribbon cuts. This also did a good job zesting.

This also did a good job with our hard and soft cheeses. While it was able to slice both carrots and zucchini, it wasn’t as good as some others we tested, making some rough cuts along the way.
