Welcome to Wishlist After Dark, folks! Up first, the Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester in black, and it's the perfect gift for the home cook and baker on your list. With me, Penny Pickwell, who reads the reviews so you never have to, and Sunny, who gets misty over a good lemon. Hi, everyone. Misty over a lemon? Very on brand, Marty. Hi, everyone! Guilty, and this thing makes lemons even better.

Okay, the big one. The maker says the blade is photo-etched, ultra sharp, and made in the U S A. And check this number, Marty. Four hundred micro-teeth, all doing the work for you! Four hundred! Okay, Sunny, what can you actually put through it? Citrus zest, hard cheese like Parmesan, plus garlic, ginger, nutmeg and chocolate. Honestly, I can picture someone unwrapping it and heading straight for the pasta.

Pasta night and baking day in one skinny tool. But wait, there's more! This one's black, but it's also sold in colors like orange, turquoise, green and purple! It's eighteen eight stainless steel, and it weighs 110 grams. Penny, I can see that eyebrow from here. What's the catch? Buyers say the blade is very sharp, Marty. So mind your knuckles near the end of a lemon or a block of cheese. Ooh, wait, Penny, can it go in the dishwasher?

Depends on the color listing, so check the one you're buying. In the box, you get one zester, plus a one year manufacturer warranty. Fair enough! I'm at eight point seven, it's the one I'd wrap first. Sunny? Eight point one from me, because one little tool does so many jobs! Penny, bring it home. Seven point five from me, for the knuckles. That makes the After Dark Score eight point one out of ten, number four of five on our kitchen board.

It's a buy for the home cook and baker. There you have it, folks! The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time!
