From the brand
-
Microplane is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process designed to create ultra-sharp grater blades. Made in USA, the tiny, razor-sharp teeth act like finely honed knives, cutting ingredients with precision rather than tearing them. Created as a woodworking tool, the original zester revolutionized grating in 1994 finding enthusiastic support from professional chefs & culinary enthusiasts.
-
DISHWASHER SAFE & EASY CLEANING
Graters (excluding Master Series) are dishwasher safe. However, to ensure that the blades stay sharp as long as possible, we recommend washing them by hand.
ADAPTABLE & SAFE PERFORMANCE
Each product we offer comes equipped with a protective cover for increased longevity and ease of storage. Our hand-held paddle graters feature non-slip rubber feet, offering superior stability.
EFFORTLESS GRATING EXPERIENCE
Thanks to the sharpness of our blades, a minimal effort is all it takes for food to glide gently and easily off the blade without needing to apply any pressure.
From the manufacturer

Why Grate Your Own Cheese?Flavor, flavor, flavor! Grating a brick of cheese fresh before use has more natural oils and aromas. Fresh grated cheese doesn’t contain potato starch, cellulose and extra preservatives that come with pre-shredded, bagged cheese. Save money! It costs less to grate your own cheese. A 24oz brick of cheese equals about 8 cups of shredded cheese. Fast Flavor! It only takes 2 minutes on a box grater or extra-coarse grater to grate 8oz of cheese |
Photo-Etching and Surgical Grade Stainless SteelMicroplane began using this signature technology in the 1990's. Many tools on the market today use stamped or cut metal. Photo-etching creates a much finer point, which means your Microplane digs in and performs better. |
Professional Choices for the GourmetCheck out our other options when it comes to grating like a professional in your home. Mix and match for what you use most, or give pieces as gifts over a period of time. Of course, the chef in your life will always want the premier known brand in grating. |

Product Description
Product Description
This professional extra coarse grater is perfect for grating cheddar and other semi-hard cheeses and vegetables
Amazon.com
The generous 2-1/2-by-5-inch cutting surface of Microplanes durable extra course grater provides ample room for rapidly generating grated foods. Appropriate for soft or hard cheeses, create Mozzarella-covered pizza or Parmesan garnish from a single tool. Keeping fingers at a safe distance, hold shaver at an angle and run food in a downward motion over the grating plane. 35 razor-sharp blades, staggered on the arched cutting surface, cut effortlessly and resist clogging for continuous grating. A band of rubber encircling the bottom edge prevents slipping and provides stability. The stainless-steel handle features rounded edges for a comfortable hold, and finishes with a small metal loop to simplify storage. Measuring 13-1/2 by 3 by 1 inches, this tool carries a polished shine and is dishwasher-safe. To protect against dulling, cover cutting surface with accompanying plastic blade guard when not in use. --Amy Arnold

BUT, whichever department decided to use the laminated paper labels and the industrial strength glue to glue huge laminated paper shields to both the grater cover (which is really awesome, and I didn't mention is above. The grater cover is awesome so it keeps the super sharp, easy to grate cheese side safe in the drawer) but, back to my diatribe...You had to glue it to the cover and to the grater itself? really? So, I got it and soaked the parts and of course only part of the paper came off and none of the glue, so I had to keep the pieces laying next to my sink for 5 days until my day off when I could search the garage for the goo-off --which dries my cuticles and makes painful skin cracks in the winter, of course, but anyway...So I had the super nice grater and grater cover lying by my sink for 5 days, which made me feel crappy every time I looked at them..Then, on my day off I start using the goo-off and finally get the label off the cover and I'm glad to know that at least it's not the type of plastic that melts when you apply the goo-off to get the impossible to remove label off...So we've got that going for us...
Then I get to the label that is stuck ONTO the grater which is much, much harder to remove than the label that is stuck on the grater cover because of course, everything that I put the goo-off on and then scrub the grater with disintegrates. Because it's a grater. And I am trying to be so careful not to tear my fingers up and I even think that I should dig around and find that metal glove that I use for the mandoline, but I know that will take at least 30 minutes and I don't want to face the fact that maybe I can't find the glove and WHY is this so hard?
So I still don't have all the glue off the grater. I'm going to boil some water and put the grater in it to melt down the glue and then try to goo-off again. I do like the grater a lot and it's awesome that I can put it into boiling water. I'm going to give it 5 stars but I hope somebody in that company reads this review and does something about those labels because I am not at all happy about the amount of effort it is taking to remove them.
The item pictured/described is slightly different than what I received. The description states that the protective cover is black, mine is clear. (The rubberized grip at the end of the grater is black, but that's not a protective cover.) Also, the handle on mine has a slight ergonomic curve to it that is not present in the pictured item. It bends towards the user so that when you use it head down, resting on the rubber grip, it's at a better angle than if the handle was straight like the photo. Search Amazon for other Microplane Professional products and you'll see what I mean. (This also helps a little in keeping your handle hand out of the way of the stuff you are trying to grate.)
The worst thing I can describe as a "con" is that the label is stuck onto the cover with an adhesive that is difficult to remove without some kind of oily assistance. Make sure you find something that doesn't damage plastic. Hey, Microplane... there are less permanent adhesives for kitchen product labels! Oh, and there were a couple of tiny, very sharp plastic nubs on the inside of the cover where there is a sort of seam, probably leftover from the manufacturing process. I mashed it around with the back of a spoon and it smoothed out.
I intend to update my review after using it for a while.
EDIT: OK, it took me a while to come back. It's been an excellent grater so it got it's fifth star (so much better than the cheaper version), but I do recommend that you use a cut-resistant glove. I usually end up grating my fingers or nails ever-so-slightly.
