Microplane Gourmet Cheese Grater with Soft Touch Handle (Extra Coarse, Black)

Microplane is the original manufacturer that applied photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process designed to create ultra-sharp grater blades. Made in the USA, the tiny, razor-sharp teeth act like finely honed knives, cutting ingredients with precision rather than tearing them. Created as a woodworking tool, the original zester revolutionized grating in 1994, finding enthusiastic support from professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts.

The PREMIUM CLASSIC Collection, ARTISAN SERIES Collection, HOME SERIES Collection, GOURMET SERIES Collection, PROFESSIONAL SERIES Collection, and SPECIALTY SERIES Collection are all part of the Microplane brand. Each product comes equipped with a protective cover for increased longevity and ease of storage. The hand-held paddle graters feature non-slip rubber feet, offering superior stability.

Thanks to the sharpness of Microplane's blades, a minimal effort is all it takes for food to glide gently and easily off the blade without needing to apply any pressure. Microplane graters (excluding the Master Series) are dishwasher safe, but to ensure the blades stay sharp as long as possible, it is recommended to wash them by hand.

Microplane's graters are best suited for grating hard and soft cheeses, apples, cabbage, carrots, chocolate, coconut, onions, and zucchini, resulting in thick, wide strands. They are great tools for coleslaws, hashbrowns, and big shreds of soft cheeses like cheddar.

The blades are made of US stainless steel at Microplane's facility in Russellville, Arkansas, supporting American jobs and manufacturing. The non-slip base of the frame keeps the grater from slipping while in use, preventing any scratching on the countertops. The stainless steel construction is naturally BPA-free, and the graters can be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning.

To keep your fingers safe, Microplane provides a protective cover to be placed over the ultra-sharp blades before storing the grater.
