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.
