Microplane Cheese Grater, Red

Microplane is the original manufacturer that applies photo-etching technology to produce graters, utilizing an innovative process to create ultra-sharp blades. Made in the USA, these graters have tiny, razor-sharp teeth that function like finely honed knives, cutting ingredients with precision rather than tearing them. Originally developed as a woodworking tool, the original zester revolutionized grating in 1994 and quickly gained enthusiastic support from professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts.

For easy cleaning, most Microplane graters (excluding Master Series) are dishwasher safe. However, to ensure the blades remain sharp for as long as possible, hand washing is recommended. Each product from Microplane comes with a protective cover for extended longevity and easier storage. The hand-held paddle graters are designed with non-slip rubber feet, providing superior stability during use.

Thanks to the sharpness of the blades, grating with Microplane is effortless, requiring minimal effort for food to glide gently off the blade without the need for added pressure. The gourmet series from Microplane features surgical grade stainless steel blades made in the USA for the past 25 years, supporting American jobs and the economy.

Stainless steel is naturally BPA free, making it safe to place these graters in the dishwasher for cleaning. The cheese grater from Microplane provides a slightly thicker cut of cheese than a zester blade, perfect for garnishing with hard and semi-hard cheeses. The wider results of this grater sprinkle well and blend seamlessly into salads or sit beautifully on top of omelets. It is recommended for use with cheeses like Parmesan, Asiago, and other hard cheeses, as well as semi-hard cheeses.

For those looking to add flavor without texture, the vegetable grater from Microplane offers perfect results for carrots and coconuts, slicing hard vegetables and fruits thinly and evenly. These grated vegetables can be added to baked goods like breads and cookies, or used to hide veggies for picky eaters. Grating chocolate with a coarse grater from Microplane creates delicious chocolate dust perfect for topping baked goods, beverages, or anything else. The fluffy, grated chocolate adds depth and flavor to a wide range of desserts.
