Microplane Gourmet Series Grater

This tool excels with firm fruits and vegetables like carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, and potatoes. It is specifically designed to create uniform, matchstick-sized strips for salads, slaws, and stir-fries.

Yes, the surgical-grade stainless steel blades are engineered to cut through dense vegetables with minimal effort. However, always use caution and a steady hand when working with harder produce.

While the grater is top-rack dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it with a brush under running water to preserve the sharpness of the blades over time. Always rinse immediately after use to prevent food particles from drying in the teeth.

The Gourmet Series typically includes a reusable protective cover. It is highly recommended to keep this on when the tool is stored in a drawer to protect both the blades and your fingers.

A standard box grater usually offers a variety of grating sizes, whereas this tool is a specialized instrument dedicated solely to creating consistent, professional-grade julienne strips. Its ergonomic handle and flat design make it much easier to maneuver for specific prep tasks.
