## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hello. Does this zester come with rubberised 'feet' on the end to protect work surfaces/chopping boards etc? Thanks.**
A: No it doesn't despite saying it does in the description. The handle is not 'soft touch' either. It's a hard cheap feeling plastic.  I returned mine and went for the Gourmet range which has rubber feet and soft touch rubberized handle.

**Q: What's the difference between using this tool and say a microplane grater?**
A: I think its just the shape. I think the 'graters' are shorter and wider. I just saw Mary Berry using one of these and it looked so easier. Its far sharper than any of my traditional graters. Its fantastic for zesting and can be used to grate parmesan. Not sure though about softer cheeses eg Cheddar.  For me its a must have bit of kitchen kit. Hope this helps.

**Q: I have a very fine grater on the side of my regular stainless steel grater, whats the difference please?**
A: It is ultra fine for the zest of lemons etc . It is also ultra sharp. You won't use it all the time but there is nothing like it.

**Q: Does this item come boxed?**
A: Unfortunately this item is unboxed.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbelievably good!
*by R***S on 7 September 2025*

Compared to other zesters this feels really smooth and does a great job, far better than anything else. I could literally feel myself smiling the first time I used it. They're not the cheapest but I'm very glad I paid the extra to get a top quality product. It's done a great job zesting oranges, and also grating nutmeg and Parmesan. Works beautifully on all of them. The handle is very comfortable and easy to grip.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-have for every kitchen!
*by A***M on 9 July 2025*

EVERY KITCHEN MUST HAVE ONE OF THESE!A close friend of mine who is a professional chef recommended one of these a long time ago and I have never looked back.Perfect for Garlic, Ginger or anything you want to grate and can’t be bothered to peel. Negates the need to peel!Fantastic build and grating quality, super easy to use and safer than a normal grater.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very zippy Zester
*by A***A on 10 July 2025*

This is the very best zester I have ever had, no doubt about that, all my family members love it and use it for everything from garlic to lemons and it is also very good for ginger that can be rather tough, but it just works very easily and efficiently.
