Microplane Rotary Cheese Grater

This grater is designed for hard ingredients. It excels at grating hard cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino, as well as firm chocolate bars and various types of nuts.

Not at all. The unit features a simplified three-part design that disassembles easily, and all components are top-rack dishwasher safe for convenient cleanup.

The surgical-grade stainless steel blade uses a photo-etching process to produce a fine, consistent shred. It is specifically engineered to create delicate, airy results that are perfect for garnishing pasta, salads, or desserts.

The ergonomic design is intended for standard rotary use. While it is highly efficient for most users, the crank arm is fixed, so you may want to test the handle orientation to ensure it feels comfortable for your dominant hand.

Unlike flat graters, this rotary model features an extra-large hopper and a funnel-shaped blade, which allows for faster, more controlled output. It is particularly useful for grating directly over a plate at the table without the risk of scraping your knuckles.
