Originally a woodworking tool, this best seller grates even the hardest Parmesan Reggiano as well as other hard cheeses into fine lacy wisps. Ideal for topping your favorite spaghetti and meatballs or a Caesar salad. It’s also wonderful for effortless citrus zesting to add natural flavors to a lemon crème brulee or a basic vinaigrette.
 
Product Details
  • Cover included.
  • Choose between Black, Empire Red, and Cobalt Blue handles.
  • Dimensions: 12" x 1 5/16"
  • Weight: 4 oz.
  • Materials: Blade made of surgical grade stainless steel. Plastic handle.
Care & Cleaning
  • Dishwasher safe.
  • We recommend rinsing your grater in warm water immediately after each use. Remove particles stuck in the blade from the back side whenever possible. To remove "stuck on food" from the front, first soak the tool in warm water and then use a cleaning brush and stroke in the same direction as the teeth.
  • Store with blade covered when not in use.

Simply Amazing (Anonymous)
I was exposed to this tool in my Viking cooking class. At first I was sceptical, but bought one anyway. WOW! This is a must have for all kitchens. I loved this so much it is going in all Christmas stockings this year.

Job well done folks!

One of the best small kitchen appliances I have ever used. As some your other correspondents have indicated, the grating and zesting capabilities of these tools are beyond reproach. Keep up the good design work.

World Of Difference...And It's Cheap (Anonymous)
Before buying the Microplane (I went with the all-purpose one that's really easy to find), I was relegated to a world of really bad box graters (I mean REALLY bad). After watching those television personalities tout the greatness of this handy little device, I decided to go for it (they're not that expensive), figuring that at the very least, I get to be a critic for a $12 product. Turns out that little $12 product is one of the most important kitchen tools I have ever owned. And it's rubbed off on my family, too: they're all eager to buy them.

We love all of our Microplane products. (Subodh - Indianapolis, IN)
When we saw the zester/grater at work we were amazed at the ease of use and the convenience of it all. And we bought one. My 75 year old mother, from India, came for a visit and she loved it so much we had to send it back with her! So then I bought the whole range for Christmas!

Fantastic (Robert - Houston, TX)
I have never processed ginger or zested a lime so fast. It's amazing and it's super easy to keep clean. The clear plastic cover is also an awesome design- durable and easy to take off/put on. My only worry is that it'll get dull too soon.
