Know before you buy
No, this zester is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the sharpness of the stainless-steel blade and the integrity of the handle, we recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water.

Yes, the handle features a soft, non-slip grip designed specifically to provide comfort and control, even when you are working in a busy kitchen environment.
With a length of 9.7 inches, this zester is designed to be compact and easy to store in a standard kitchen drawer without taking up excessive space.
