Microplane Gourmet Grater

The ribbon cut produces wider, flatter, and more delicate shavings than a traditional fine grater. It is ideal for creating elegant garnishes or melting cheese more evenly into sauces.

Yes, the surgical-grade stainless steel blades are sharp enough to handle soft ingredients like chocolate and zucchini with ease. The dual-edged teeth ensure you get clean cuts without tearing the food.

The non-slip base is designed primarily for stability when resting the grater on a flat surface or cutting board. If you prefer to grate directly over a bowl, the ergonomic handle provides a secure grip, though you may need to hold the bowl steady with your other hand.

While the grater is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the sharpness of the etched blades over time. Always use the included protective cover when storing the tool to prevent accidental nicks and keep the teeth in top condition.

The active grating surface measures 5 1/4 inches by 2 5/8 inches. This provides ample space for efficient, quick grating while keeping the overall tool compact enough for standard kitchen drawers.
