A Great Grater
Fulfilling my lifetime ambition of reviewing once of these and using that title. This microplane grates really well, used it for Pecorino cheese and it reduces it to delicate snowflakes that could almost melt. As this version doubles as a zester, you're not going to get a dust like texture, so if that's what you're after maybe look at some of the others in their range. This is a very proficient kitchen all-rounder. My only criticism is that the handle feels a bit cheap. I've used it a couple of times and on one occasion it accidentally slipped and I parted ways with a chunk of my knuckle which ended up in my cacio e pepe, giving it a gamey after taste. Now this may well have been my own incompetence and nothing to do with the grater itself, but........where was I going with this? Oh yeah, the handle feels a bit cheap, other than that, great grater.NOTE: Portion of knuckle shown in image is no longer included.
