It’s hard to find a good zester/grater that actually works, and those I have used in the past have caused me nothing but headaches: they’re a pain to use, a pain to clean, and the zest yielded is usually minimal. Enter Chef Proven’s Professional Zester Grater which is so fantastic, and I am excited to share it with you.

Chef Proven’s Professional Zester Grater Review

The Chef Proven’s Professional Zester Grater is definitely the best one I have EVER used! I have always been on a constant search for a zester that works, mainly because of the amount of lemon I use on a daily basis. Unfortunately, every zester I have ever owned either took too much effort, felt uncomfortable in my hands, or just plain ol’ didn’t work, usually leaving me with a pile of unattractive looking zest.

This one by Chef Proven has proven to be the best – hands down! It removes the zest from a lemon in no more than two swipes. With this zester grater, I have to remain vigilant or else the white pith will get zested too – that’s just how “grate” it works.

My lemon zest is plump and lofty. When I turn the zester around to remove the rest of the zest from the back, I’m amazed at how much more accumulates back there. With a simple swipe down the back side of the blade with my finger, the zest is removed and there is no worry about scraping my skin in the process.

I can even run my finger over the front of the blade – with care-, swiping towards the handle, without hurting myself. The results? I get an amazing amount of zest from one medium sized lemon which is most times more than I need. Simply shocking!

I’m in love with this zester. The Chef Proven’s Professional Zester Grater measures 12 x 1 x 1 inches, is very well made and just feels right in my hand. I can tell it is going to last a long time. The handle makes for a great grip that does not slip during use. The stainless steel blade cleans up very easy too which is always a huge plus. I just give it a quick rinse with the sprayer to make sure nothing will dry on the surface, and then I wash it fully later. I even threw it on the top rack of the dishwasher and suffered no losses.

In order to put this zester grater to the real test, I grated some (very) hard parmigiano cheese I had just about given up on, and WOW! This grater caused a small cheese blizzard over my plate of spaghetti.

I have used it to grate onion juice into my hamburger mixture which keeps my burgers nice and moist. I even used it to grate a little bit of cucumber juice into my mojito drink – delsih! My other favorite – ginger – is grated to perfection quickly and easily. It really has a lot of uses and it stores very easy with the included cover sleeve.

Finally, in my kitchen grating nutmeg is no longer shell-shocking. Zesting lime is sublime. Grating chocolate is so very sweet, and zesting lemon – well that’s an everyday thing. I can no longer live without this zester/grater.
