Microplane Gourmet Series Grater

This grater is designed for foods where you want a substantial texture rather than a fine shred. It is ideal for hash browns, grating cabbage for coleslaw, or shredding semi-hard cheeses like cheddar or gouda for melting.

Yes, the Gourmet Series Ultra Coarse Grater is dishwasher safe. However, to keep the photo-etched teeth sharp for as long as possible, hand washing with warm water and a brush is generally recommended.

The non-slip foot is designed to grip surfaces like countertops, plates, and cutting boards effectively. It provides enough stability to allow you to grate at an angle without the tool sliding away from you.

This is a paddle-style grater, which offers a wider surface area for faster, more efficient work. It is much easier to store in a drawer than a bulky box grater and is specifically engineered for high-volume prep tasks.

While it can handle soft cheeses, they can sometimes clog the teeth. For the best results with soft cheese, we recommend chilling the cheese in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before grating.

Yes, the cover is essential. Because the photo-etched teeth are extremely sharp, the cover protects your fingers when reaching into a drawer and prevents the teeth from dulling against other utensils.
