From the brand
-
Microplane is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process designed to create ultra-sharp grater blades. Made in 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 & culinary enthusiasts.
-
DISHWASHER SAFE & EASY CLEANING
Graters (excluding Master Series) are dishwasher safe. However, to ensure that the blades stay sharp as long as possible, we recommend washing them by hand.
ADAPTABLE & SAFE PERFORMANCE
Each product we offer comes equipped with a protective cover for increased longevity and ease of storage. Our hand-held paddle graters feature non-slip rubber feet, offering superior stability.
EFFORTLESS GRATING EXPERIENCE
Thanks to the sharpness of our blades, a minimal effort is all it takes for food to glide gently and easily off the blade without needing to apply any pressure.

Why Sharper is Better!Microplane signature photo-etched process on surgical grade stainless steel is meant to cut and shred foods without bruising or tearing the food. Pulling cheese across the blade requires very light pressure to achieve beautiful results. We always recommend using a cut resistant glove to protect your hands from accidental contact with the blades. |
Ribbon blades are bi-directional.Pulling food up or down across the bi-directional Ribbon blade teeth produces beautiful results. Making breads or salads? This tool is efficient at grating zucchini, apples, chocolate and coconut, or shaving carrots, cabbage and semi hard cheese. Results of common foods used on a Ribbon grater blade are shown above. |

To be honest, I don't even know what I've ever done to the Cheese Grater Community, but they... hate me. They break. They always break. The results are never good.
You're sad. You're out another $5-10 on a cheese grater (and dang, that thing looked tough, too!!), but what's worse? You have no grated cheese! Well, if you're like me, you find a way to make it work just a LITTLE longer. . . but I digress.
When you're tired of the viscous, ever-repeating cycle of buying, breaking and replacing, buy this beauty.
I am so serious when I say I love this thing! It's super sturdy, it has rubber bottoms that prevent it from sliding around, the back panel is removable so you can grate directly into a bowl by laying it across the top of one. It's sharp, it's got a nicely sized handle that works well for both mine and my husband's hands. It can also work as a limited slicer! It's not adjustable, but the thickness is great for potato chips (thicker ones) or nice, even slices of cheese!
I know you're debating right now. How crazy is it to buy such an expensive CHEESE GRATER??
Answer:
Not crazy at all. You'll love this thing if you have to grate cheese!!
Happy with this purchase.
The derlicate ribbons in makes on hard cheeses are too good to pass up but a larger panel would be nice for professional purposes, I would not however want to forgoe the large zest panel so make another to swap out. For that matter they could re-engineer a mandoline panel(s) that would be much more effective. flat cut, gaufrette.
This box cutter is great. I am giving them out for presents to all my friends and the Amazon price is the lowest I could find.

Durch die Gummifüße ist sie rutschfest und tut ihren Job prima.
Pour les débutants attention de pas y laisser un morceau de doigts.
Ultra coupant.
