Score 8.3 / 10
Average of substance, design, and value.
Serious Eats called its pop-off zester the most functional add-on tested; a catch container measures zest while keeping counters clear.
$30 typical
The price buys a functional removable zester, stable non-slip base, comfortable handle, and catch container—not a logo. Serious Eats specifically found it the most versatile and best-built overall tested box grater.
Cuts more cleanly and stays effective longer than thin punched steel.
Creates a comfortable hold and non-slip stance.
Captures and measures food while also covering it for storage.
Compared with 8 other products in edition 1.
This product: 8 out of 10
Etched faces cut hard cheese and vegetables cleanly; soft cheese remains a poor fit.
Exceptionally thoughtful UX: catch container, clean removable fine-zester panel, and a broad soft handle solve common box-grater irritations.
A durable multi-part option; protect the etched faces and inspect the plastic container/lid over long service.
