Hand Held Cheese Grater by Microplane Gourmet Series (Fine, Red)

Microplane is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process designed to create ultra-sharp grater blades. From the brand's PREMIUM CLASSIC Collection, ARTISAN SERIES Collection, HOME SERIES Collection, GOURMET SERIES Collection, PROFESSIONAL SERIES Collection, to SPECIALTY SERIES Collection, Microplane has been a pioneer in the industry.

The tiny, razor-sharp teeth of Microplane graters, made in the USA, act like finely honed knives, cutting ingredients with precision rather than tearing them. Originally created as a woodworking tool, the original zester revolutionized grating in 1994 and quickly gained enthusiastic support from professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts.

Microplane graters (excluding Master Series) are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. However, to ensure that the blades stay sharp for as long as possible, it is recommended to wash them by hand. Each product is equipped with a protective cover for increased longevity and ease of storage. Hand-held paddle graters feature non-slip rubber feet for superior stability.

Thanks to the sharpness of the blades, grating with Microplane is an effortless experience. With minimal effort, food glides gently and easily off the blade without the need to apply any pressure. Microplane graters are best for hard cheeses like Parmesan, Asiago, and Manchego, as well as citrus, chili, ginger, and garlic. The results are powder-like and blend without texture.

The ultra-sharp blades used in Microplane graters are made in the USA from US Stainless Steel at their facility in Russellville, Arkansas, supporting American jobs and manufacturing. The base of the frame has a non-slip foot to keep the grater from slipping while you cook and prevent any scratching on your countertops.

In addition, the Microplane Gourmet Series family of graters features an ergonomic soft-touch handle, providing a comfortable and secure grip. The stainless steel material used in the graters is naturally BPA free and can be safely placed in the dishwasher for cleaning.
