Microplane Elite Series Fine Grater – Black

The new Microplane Elite Fine Grater is the optimum choice for creating flavourful citrus zest without any of bitter white pith just under the fruit’s peel. It’s stellar at grating aromatics, such as shallots, onions, garlic and ginger into a fine paste that melts and blends instantly with other ingredients in a pan, as well as transforming Parmesan and other hard cheese into powdery mounds for garnishing pasta and other savoury dishes.

Unique to Microplane graters, the new Elite series includes a transparent cover that doubles as a grating catch feature and measuring cup with generous 1-cup capacity.

Features:

• Non-slip base for added stability
• Comfortable soft-grip handle with loop for optional hanging
• Dual purpose cover/measuring cup included
• Blade made in the USA
• Grater is dishwasher safe. Hand washing recommended for cover

In 1990 the original Microplane was invented merely as a new type of woodworking tool. Microplane as we now know it is now a complete range of kitchen graters for every type of grating possible. Microplane graters’ tiny razor-like edges are formed by a process called photoetching by which holes are dissolved with a chemical, creating ultra-sharp cutting edges that finely slice the food instead of tearing or shredding.
