Delivery Information
Price Match
The Victorinox 20cm zester is a hand-held fine grating tool designed for professional kitchens, pastry sections and bar prep stations. It produces fine shavings and aromatic zest from citrus fruits, hard cheeses and chocolate, making it a practical addition to any mise en place setup where garnish work or flavour finishing is part of the routine.
In a working kitchen environment, this type of tool is used repeatedly across a shift — often by multiple team members and across different stations. The stainless steel grating surface holds up well to consistent daily use, and the glass fibre reinforced polyamide handle provides a secure, slip-resistant grip that holds up through longer prep sessions without causing fatigue. A non-slip foot keeps the tool stable when rested on a board or bowl rim, which matters when you're moving quickly during service.
From a practical standpoint, the key advantages for kitchen operations are straightforward:
- Consistent fine shavings for garnish and flavour work at speed
- Stable non-slip foot for hands-free resting on prep surfaces
- Ergonomic handle suited to extended prep without hand fatigue
- Compact footprint — easy to store in a utensil roll or drawer
- Stainless steel construction resists staining and odour transfer
There are no installation requirements for a tool of this type, but it's worth considering storage and hygiene workflow. The black handle coding makes it straightforward to assign to a specific allergen or prep zone if your kitchen operates a colour-coded utensil system. It is hand-wash recommended to preserve edge sharpness over time.
This zester is well suited to professional kitchens of any size — from small independent restaurants through to high-volume hotel pastry departments and cocktail bars where citrus garnishing is a regular task. It is a single-purpose specialist tool rather than a multi-function grater, so kitchens needing coarser grating or slicing capability should consider a broader grater alongside it.
If you're unsure whether this fits your prep workflow or want to discuss utensil setups for a specific station, the team is happy to help.
Frequently asked questions
Is this zester suitable for use across multiple kitchen stations?
Yes — its compact size and simple construction make it practical to use at pastry, garnish and bar prep stations alike. If your kitchen operates colour-coded allergen zones, the black handle allows it to be assigned to a specific area to reduce cross-contamination risk.
What types of ingredients does this zester work best with?
It is designed primarily for fine zesting of citrus fruits and producing thin shavings from hard cheeses such as Parmesan, as well as chocolate. It is a specialist fine-grating tool rather than a multi-purpose grater, so kitchens that also need coarser grating would benefit from having a broader box or flat grater alongside it.
How should this zester be maintained in a professional kitchen?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the sharpness of the grating surface over time — repeated dishwasher cycles can dull fine stainless steel teeth more quickly than hand washing. Inspect the blade surface periodically; if shavings become uneven or the tool requires noticeably more pressure to produce results, it is likely time for a replacement.
