Microplane Mini Flexi Zester + Reviews | Crate And Barrel

Chamber collects zest that falls from the blade The Microplane Flexi Zesti is designed with a built-in chamber to conveniently capture and store fresh zest. To remove the zest, pull off the silicone top and turn the tool upside down. Original Microplane stainless steel blades made in the USA Featuring Microplane's iconic ultra sharp, photo etched blade technology, the Flexi Zesti effortlessly creates flavorful and aromatic zest. Flexible top: The made in USA zesting blade is surrounded with BPA-free silicone that flexes with pressure, allowing the zester to easily glide over the rinds of citrus fruit. This kitchen grater maximizes the amount of lemon zest you get in one stroke! Ergonomic profile: the small, round shape fits naturally into the palm of your hand, making it easy to control. Measuring a mere 2. 5 X 2 X 1. 5, it easily fits into a child's hand as well. Tidy zest: fresh zest falls from the blade to a collecting dish (measuring about 1 teaspoon) that's underneath the silicone top. Expect the same made in USA blade, with just the right tooth height to pick up only the Zest, and not the bitter white pith. the zester can be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning. There are weep holes in the base to allow water to release; place those holes down for complete drying.
